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:
The first step in picking a company is determining whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As shown above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You will also have to figure out 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 has a packing service. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
Once you know what you need, learn which local movers meet Mississippi's mover licensing requirements. Other easy ways to research a company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in West Point is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. We suggest reaching out to at least a couple of the movers from our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you need when you get an estimate. Also, verify that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the cost. In West Point, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in West Point, according to Today's Homeowner, are Mcconnell Brothers Transfer & Storage.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in West Point are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is often more expensive, as this is when most people move. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 15,800 college students attending school within 15 miles of West Point will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. West Point'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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to West Point from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
