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:
First, you'll have to determine if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different types of moves will need different sets of skills, as illustrated above. You will also want to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and drivers. However, full-service movers also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, learn which local movers meet North Carolina's licensing requirements for movers. Other ways to research a mover's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Wilmington are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can go about getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure you explain all the services you'll need. Also, verify that you receive a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Miracle Movers.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Wilmington are the best ones. They include:

During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, loss, or theft.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
