Thanks for returning to the Alpha Moving and Storage blog. Each month, we feature new articles with tips, advice and information regarding all aspects of moving, storage and packing. This month, we begin with an article containing information about how to find a great long distance moving and storage company.
Finding Great Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies – Knowing What to Look For
If you are looking for a long distance moving company, you need to make sure the companies you are considering have enough experience handling the exact type of relocation you are interested in. Some companies specialize only in local, or long distance moving, others perform all types of moves.
Make sure the company you are considering is performing the move and does not sub-contract it to another mover. When contacting a mover, you can request for a representative to come to your house and provide you with a written estimate. You will be able to ask the estimator all the above questions. You could also ask your estimator to provide you with a price for full or partial packing.
Finding Great Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies – Knowing how to Choose
Don’t settle for just one estimate. Try to have about reputable, trustworthy companies send a representative to your house and provide you with an estimate. On the other hand, don’t get too many estimates. Getting too many estimates could lead to confusion and indecision. Go with the company that offers the best terms, has the best reputation and with whose estimator you feel the most comfortable. The personal tough is very important, as your estimator will assist you in making inventory and packing adjustments, communicating with the movers and so on.

My husband and I have used Alpha for two moves—once from Manhattan to Jersey City and more recently from Jersey City to the Jersey Shore.
The first move … More was during Covid, but Alpha was super diligent and professional. The second move was on an incredibly hot and humid day, and our movers still worked so hard and fast.
For our second move, we also had to put our items in storage for a few weeks. Alpha made this super easy and had a thorough system for taking inventory of all our furniture and boxes.
I can't say enough about how great Alpha is. We would use them again and recommend them to anyone. Their office employees are very responsive and helpful, and the movers are extremely skilled and professional.
I've also found their prices to be much more reasonable than other companies in the area.
