When moving EU -> EU, where to pay VAT on moving services?
I'm relocating from one EU country to another.
The origin country has 18% VAT, the destination has 23% VAT.
I purchase the service in the origin country; the mover is trying to charge me the destination country rate (which is also where they are located). My assumption is that VAT has to be charged at the point of consumption.
What is right here?

See Section 3.2 here. You appear to be correct, assuming you're not a business customer.
The place of supply of freight transport and related services supplied
to customers who are not ‘in business’ is as follows: intra-EU
transport, where the transport begins.
But other countries might apply the rules differently.
