You probably won't be surprised to learn that people often refer to moving as one of the most stressful things they've done.

Depending on what time of year you move, low temperatures could get in the way of your plans, resulting in 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:
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 better for your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you will be expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. A full-service mover will offer packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you hate packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, learn which moving companies meet New Jersey's licensing requirements for movers. Other ways 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 Southampton's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can begin the process of asking for estimates. We recommend talking to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do reach out, make sure that you explain all the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Southampton, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Simonik Transportation & Warehousing Group LLC - Your Moving and Storage Experts.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Southampton are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is often more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 9,227 college students attending school within 15 miles of Southampton will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Southampton's temperatures tend to be moderate. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
Begin the process by visiting the company's website. Once you discover what kinds of services the mover offers, look at reviews of the company on other sites such as Trustpilot, the BBB, Google, or Reddit.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover in the past.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
