Richard Eddy Moving

Richard Eddy Moving is a three-person outfit run by Richard Eddy himself out of 57 Chase Street in Methuen, and it carries more than furniture: alongside residential moves it lists packing and unpacking, supplies its own boxes and materials, hauls junk and construction debris, and stages homes. Nobody has reviewed it. Not on BBB, and not on Angi or HomeAdvisor, where the listing says outright that the business is new to both platforms and invites the first review. Its BBB page carries an A+ grade, which is worth reading precisely: that same page states the business is not BBB accredited, and those are two different things. One claim deserves a question. The company's own listing says it has 'been the moving business for over 25 years' — but the structured field on that very same page reads ten years of experience, and BBB puts the start date at December 2016, roughly nine years back. The longer number may describe Richard Eddy's own career rather than the company's age. Ask him which he means. Movers answer to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities rather than the state's home improvement contractor registry, so there is no HIC number to look for here and its absence says nothing against him. Ask instead for the things that protect you on moving day: current federal and state motor-carrier registration, and written confirmation of how damaged goods are covered. With no written history to read either way, this is a call-and-vet job rather than a check-the-reviews job. Get the estimate in writing, and pin down the tenure question and the coverage question on the same call.
