Nobody enjoys moving – it's stressful and busy, and it feels like there's always more jobs that need your attention. Even if you're moving to a smaller town (like Bemidji) with fewer crowds, you might be worried about navigating around with all of your possessions in a big truck. When temperatures can get lower than in many places, it might affect how comfortable you are during your move and cause more stress.

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 moves work best with different movers. The first step in hiring a moving company is deciding whether a national or local company is best suited to your needs. You will also have to determine if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, you might want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
Once you know what you need, find which local movers meet Minnesota's licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Bemidji's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the movers on our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you need when you get an estimate. Also, confirm that they've given you a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers know the Bemidji area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
