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 suited for different sorts of moves. The first step in selecting a moving company is deciding whether a local or national mover is best suited to your needs. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be great if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
Once you know what you need, learn which local movers meet Kansas' mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a moving company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Independence is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can begin getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you reach out to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When talking to a company you are thinking of hiring, make sure you explain all of the services you think you'll require.

When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is often more expensive, as most people move during this season. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. There are about 1,705 college students attending school within 15 miles of Independence, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
There is also the weather to consider. Independence's temperatures tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
Many moving companies provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
