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 will also want to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service movers also provide 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, find which Memphis movers meet Tennessee's mover licensing requirements. Other easy ways to research a moving company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of Memphis' best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start asking for estimates. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure you explain all of the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the estimate you're given is a "binding estimate," as otherwise it may be subject to change.
