First Class did an excellent move for me from California to NY. I got a great price. My antiques arrived in great shape. Driver and packers were all super courteous. I'd book with them again.
The gentlemen who packed up our house were quick and efficient. The lead mover was so helpful and made sure all my stuff was labeled and inventoried. The movers were professional and prioritized packing everything up!

We were given numerous status updates and crew arrived in a timely manner. Crew was very polite and worked very efficiently. At the end of the job they made sure we were satisfied with their work. The price transaction was very transparent with no hidden fees. Will definitely be calling them again. Highly recommend.
The crew showed up on time and spent all day with us for an in-town move. We had a lot of furniture and art; they did a great job taking good care of our things.

Sidney and his team did a fantastic job. Very professional and made our move much less stressful. They were very fast, very efficient and know what they are doing. I'd strongly recommend them.
These guys are the best! Bubba, Justin, Trey, and Ron took the best care of us today. They worked quickly but carefully to get us moved, even hauling away the boxes. Would definitely recommend.

Popular moving routes from Mississippi
moveBuddha tracks pricing and mover performance across thousands of routes. Use the links below to find route-specific cost data and recommended movers for your destination. Find your exact moving route →
| Route | Route details |
|---|---|
| Mississippi to California | Cross-country route; strong demand year-round |
| Mississippi to Texas | Major migration corridor; competitive pricing |
| Mississippi to Florida | High-volume retirement and lifestyle move |
| Mississippi to New York | Northeast corridor; dense urban delivery complexity |
| Mississippi to North Carolina | Growing Southeast destination; strong inbound demand |
| Mississippi to Georgia | Southeast hub; major corporate relocation market |
| Mississippi to Arizona | Sun Belt destination; seasonal pricing variation |
| Mississippi to Washington | Pacific Northwest corridor; tech-sector demand |
| Mississippi to Colorado | Mountain West route; strong year-round volume |
| Mississippi to Illinois | Midwest hub; major urban access considerations |
If you're moving from Mississippi to a destination 500+ miles away, a local mover is not the right fit. Long-distance moves require interstate operating authority, binding estimate practices, and logistics capacity that most local carriers don't carry. We recommend using one of the top-rated long-distance moving companies in Mississippi for any out-of-state move of significant distance.
What specialty moving services are available in Mississippi?
Not every mover in Mississippi offers specialty services. Based on moveBuddha's review of 22 Mississippi movers, here is what is available and how often:
Piano movers in Mississippi
| Piano moving in Mississippi | Details |
|---|---|
| Top-rated Mississippi piano movers | TWO MEN AND A TRUCK The Armstrong Company |
| Mississippi movers offering this | 15 of 22 (68.18%) |
| National average | 72.72% |
| Upright piano | $680 to $1,275 |
| Baby grand piano | $1,020 to $2,125 |
| Grand piano | $1,530 to $2,975 |
The weight range for upright pianos is 400 to 800 lbs. Grand pianos exceed 1,200 lbs. Neither can be safely moved with standard furniture dollies or blankets. Crews certified for piano moving carry piano boards, rigging straps, and padded blankets designed for the instrument's weight distribution and finish. Adding a piano to a full-service household move is almost always cheaper than contracting a piano-only specialist.
See our full guide to the best piano movers for a breakdown of what to look for and how to compare quotes.
Antique movers in Mississippi
| Antique handling in Mississippi | Details |
|---|---|
| Top-rated Mississippi antique movers | The Armstrong Company First Class Moving Systems, Inc. |
| Mississippi movers offering this | 8 of 22 (36.36%) |
| National average | 46.37% |
| Added cost to a household move | $850 to $2,125 |
| Per-piece handling fee | $43 to $425 |
| Custom crating per item | $128 to $170 |
Released-value protection pays out at $0.60 per pound per item. For a 50-lb antique worth $5,000, that is a $30 reimbursement. Custom crating and acid-free padding lower the physical risk of damage, but they do not change the coverage math. Requesting full valuation coverage before booking is the only way to ensure a claim reflects what the piece is worth, not what it weighs.
See our guide to the best antique moving companies for tips on vetting specialty movers and protecting high-value pieces.
Art movers in Mississippi
| Art packing in Mississippi | Details |
|---|---|
| Top-rated Mississippi art movers | The Armstrong Company First Class Moving Systems, Inc. |
| Mississippi movers offering this | 7 of 22 (31.82%) |
| National average | 45.86% |
| Per-piece handling fee | $43 to $425 |
| Custom crating per item | $128 to $170 |
Archival materials and custom crates prevent UV exposure, humidity damage, and impact fractures that standard moving blankets cannot guard against for framed artwork and sculpture. Confirm the mover has direct experience with similar media before booking.
See our complete guide to how to pack and move art for a full breakdown of materials, techniques, and questions to ask before booking.
Climate-controlled storage in Mississippi
| Climate-controlled storage in Mississippi | Details |
|---|---|
| Top-rated Mississippi providers | First Class Moving Systems, Inc. John Fayard Moving & Warehousing, LLC |
| Mississippi movers offering this | 4 of 22 (18.18%) |
| National average | 33.29% |
| Storage-in-transit rate | About $0.50 per cubic foot per month |
| 1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) | $218 |
Temperature-only storage controls heat but not moisture. For wood furniture, vinyl records, and electronics, humidity fluctuation is the primary damage risk in storage, causing warping, cracking, and mold that a temperature-controlled unit will not prevent. True climate control regulates both. For storage gaps longer than 30 days or moves that cross seasons, confirming the distinction before booking is worth the extra step.
See our guide to climate-controlled storage for a deeper look at when it's worth the cost and how to compare options.
Fragile-only packing in Mississippi
| Fragile-only packing in Mississippi | Details |
|---|---|
| Top-rated Mississippi providers | The Armstrong Company First Class Moving Systems, Inc. |
| Mississippi movers offering this | 5 of 22 (22.73%) |
| National average | 23.81% |
| Full professional packing rate | $0.15 to $0.21 per pound |
Not every item needs professional packing. Dishes, glassware, mirrors, and lamps are the items most likely to break in transit and the items most worth paying a crew to pack. Fragile-only packing covers exactly those categories without a full-service packing contract, keeping the per-pound packing cost contained to the portion of your shipment that actually needs it.
DIY Moving Options in Mississippi
Full-service movers aren't the only way to move in Mississippi. Moving containers, rental trucks, and labor-only crews are all solid DIY options that can cut your moving costs by roughly 30%, the right choice comes down to how much you want to handle yourself. If you're weighing the tradeoffs, our guide to professional movers vs. DIY moving breaks down the full cost and effort comparison.
What are the best moving containers in Mississippi?
The best moving container companies available in Mississippi are PODS (4.5/5), Units Moving and Portable Storage (4.3/5), and MovingYourself (5.0/5), based on moveBuddha's ratings. Container moves work by dropping a portable unit at your door, giving you several days to load at your own pace, then the company handles pickup and delivery. They cost significantly less than full-service movers and carry none of the one-way mileage risk of rental trucks. See our full moving container company guide for cost comparisons by move size.
What are the best rental trucks in Mississippi?
The best rental truck options for a DIY move in Mississippi are Budget Truck Rental (4.3/5), U-Haul (4.2/5), and Penske Truck Rental (4.0/5). Budget leads on transparent pricing and discount availability. U-Haul offers 7 truck sizes and one-way rentals for moves that won't bring you back. Penske carries the most consistently maintained fleet, with unlimited mileage on select routes.
DIY moves cost roughly 30% less than full-service moving. In Mississippi, a full-service 1-bedroom move averages $591 and a 2-bedroom runs $916.
Who are the best labor-only hourly movers in Mississippi?
The best labor-only movers in Mississippi start with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK and First Class Moving Systems, Inc., both offering loading, packing, and assembly services. At $105/hour for a 2-person crew in Mississippi, labor-only is the most affordable way to get professional help on moving day.

Know Your Rights as a Mississippi Mover
Mississippi mover licensing: Like in many other states, movers in Mississippi are regulated by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT). When considering hiring a local mover, you’ll want to check that they have an up-to-date MSPC Number. If they do, it means that they’re authorized to move household goods within the state. Verify a license →
Insurance requirement: Released Value Protection is the cost-free choice provided by movers, but it offers minimal coverage. Movers are only responsible for up to 60 cents per pound per article. For comprehensive coverage of your items, consider exploring alternative options with your chosen moving company or a third-party insurance provider.
Final Verdict: Best Moving Companies in Mississippi
Based on the research and data gathered by moveBuddha, here are our final takeaways on the best moving companies in Mississippi:
- Best overall local mover in Mississippi: TWO MEN AND A TRUCK (4.5/5). moveBuddha ranks TWO MEN AND A TRUCK first among 22 reviewed Mississippi movers. Local move costs range from $444 for a studio to $3,533 for a 5+ bedroom home.

- Best for certified crew quality: American Van Lines (4.9/5). American Van Lines is the strongest pick for movers who prioritize professionally certified crews and transparent flat-rate pricing on interstate moves.
- Best moving container: PODS (4.5/5). Container moves cost significantly less than full-service movers. You load on your own schedule and the company handles transport, with no one-way mileage risk.
- Best budget DIY option: Budget Truck Rental (4.3/5). Rental trucks are the lowest-cost moving method in Mississippi. Factor in fuel and per-mile charges on any move with real distance behind it before committing to the base rate.
FAQs about moving in Mississippi
How can I find a reliable moving company in Mississippi?
Look for moving companies in Mississippi that have strong customer reviews, transparent pricing policies, a diverse range of services, and flexible insurance plans. These are the main areas we use in our evaluations to help you discover the most reliable movers in Mississippi.
It's always best to collect estimates from at least 3 providers, including a top-rated flat-rate mover to compare options.
Are interstate moves common with Mississippi movers?
Many movers in Mississippi are qualified to take on cross-state relocations. Of the 22 total moving companies in MS, 18 are licensed for interstate service. This means most providers in the state are equipped to legally manage moves beyond state lines, with a USDOT number and oversight from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
To get started, check out our recommendations for the top long-distance movers in Mississippi.
How can I see all moving companies in Mississippi?
You can see all moving companies in Mississippi in our comprehensive list of Mississippi movers.
How much does it cost to hire movers in Mississippi?
Local moving costs in Mississippi range from $444 for a studio to $3,533 for a 5+ bedroom home. Most local movers charge $105/hour for a 2-person crew. Your total depends on home size, distance, access conditions, and any add-on services like packing or storage.
What is the cheapest way to move in Mississippi?
Rental trucks are the cheapest way to move in Mississippi. DIY moves cost roughly 30% less than full-service movers. Renting a truck and hiring a labor-only crew for loading and unloading gives you professional help at a fraction of full-service pricing. Moving containers are the next most affordable option and remove the need to drive a large vehicle yourself.
What is a full-service move?
A full-service move means the moving company handles packing, loading, transportation, unloading, and unpacking. 21 of 22 movers in Mississippi (95.45%) offer professional packing, and 21 (95.45%) offer storage. Full-service is the most hands-off option but costs more than DIY alternatives. Confirm exactly which services are included in your quote before signing.
What is the difference between a moving broker and a moving carrier?
A moving carrier owns trucks and employs the crew that physically moves your belongings. A moving broker arranges moves through third-party carriers and does not handle your items directly. Brokers can offer competitive pricing but add a layer between you and the company doing the work, which can complicate communication and claims if something goes wrong. moveBuddha is not a broker and does not sell or share your information. We recommend booking directly with a licensed carrier whenever possible.
How much should you tip movers in Mississippi?
For a local move, $20 to $50 per mover is a standard tip. For a long-distance move, $50 to $100+ per mover is appropriate, especially if the crew handled heavy furniture, stairs, or challenging access conditions. Tipping is not required, but it is customary for good service. Tip each crew member individually in cash at the end of the job.
How long does a move take in Mississippi?
A local move in Mississippi typically takes 4 hours for a 1-bedroom and 8 hours for a 3-bedroom home. Long-distance moves out of Mississippi add transit time that varies by distance and carrier. Full-service movers typically provide a delivery window of 1 to 14 business days for interstate moves, depending on distance. Rental trucks and moving containers give you more control over exact delivery timing.
When is the best time of year to move in Mississippi?
The cheapest time to move in Mississippi is during the off-season, from October through April. Peak moving season runs May through September, with June and July commanding the highest rates. Moves booked midweek and mid-month also tend to cost less than weekend or month-end bookings. Planning around these windows can save 15% to 20% on your total moving cost.
How we chose the best moving companies in Mississippi
moveBuddha's moving analyst team evaluated 22 Mississippi moving companies using a five-factor weighted scoring system: customer satisfaction (40%), dispute resolution (20%), industry reputation (15%), online reputation (15%), and service options (10%).
That scoring system draws on moveBuddha's dataset of 1,000+ live price points and research across 4,500+ movers nationwide, so you're getting recommendations built on real market data, not just review aggregation.
- Customer satisfaction (40%): The company consistently completes moves on time, communicates proactively, and delivers within the estimated cost. These factors matter most when hiring a mover.
- Dispute resolution (20%): Problems happen in every industry. We reward companies that take clear ownership of issues and make genuine, documented efforts to resolve them.
- Industry reputation (15%): The company holds standing in professional moving organizations and participates in industry oversight, which signals accountability beyond customer reviews alone.
- Online reputation (15%): The company maintains accurate, up-to-date information online and responds promptly and professionally to customer inquiries and complaints.
- Service options (10%): We favor companies that offer full packing, storage, specialty item handling, and expedited delivery. These services matter on a complex move.
