Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on moving companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
Different types of movers are better for different types of moves. The first step in choosing a moving company is deciding whether a national or local mover is best. You'll also want to determine if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Connecticut's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of Oxford's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to pick from, you can reach out to them and ask about a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to explain to them all of the services that you'll need, and to check that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Oxford, according to Today's Homeowner, are Armstrong Moving And Storage.
To figure out which movers in Oxford are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 32,358 students attending college within 15 miles of Oxford, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Oxford tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in Oxford can get up to 57°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
