How Reliable Are BBB Listings?

I'm researching moving companies and there are a few listed on the BBB website. Can I trust these listings? Anyone know more about what it takes to get BBB listing? The one I'm considering has an A+ listing.

Your comments/help are greatly appreciated.

They've been spot on about companies we looked up.No idea about how it works though.

Local businesses are the members and pay dues, not the public. What do you think? I use Angie's List for reliable help and have never had a bad experience.

You pay to be on their list, and as I experienced first hand, they'll close a case even when things aren't settled. I never bother with them.

I suspected as much. Will go another route. Thanks all for the replies.
