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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is right for your needs. You'll also need to determine if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that has a packing service. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Minnesota. You can also read online reviews and take a look at the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Alexandria are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the movers from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

The best mover in Alexandria, according to Today's Homeowner, are Alex Movers.
To decide which movers in Alexandria are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. Alexandria also has about 1,663 students attending college within 15 miles; in May and August, you may need to worry about navigating around moving students.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Alexandria tends to have cold temperatures. This means that you may still want to move during the warmer months to avoid icy conditions.
Many moving companies have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
