Alpha Moving & Storage Basic NJ Moving Tips
Order Packing Supplies in Advance
Starting to pack early will make your life much easier. The best way to do that is to order packing supplies in advance. Contact Alpha Moving and Storage a few weeks prior to your move and ask about our packing and box-delivery services.
Choose Your Mover Early
Waiting till the last minute to choose your mover will leave you little time for all the final necessary arrangements. Try to make your final moving decisions at least three to four weeks in advance.
Clearly Label and Number all Boxes
Labeling is something that can save you a lot of time and money. Every box should be properly labeled. The label should mention the contents and the designated room. Clearly mark boxes with fragile content as such.
Let the Movers Handle Electronics and Fragile Items
Even if you decide to do the packing yourself, it is recommended to let the mover handle electronics and delicate items. Professional movers have the experience, knowledge and materials to properly pack and handle items such as televisions, computers, glass and marble tops and so on.
Inform Your Mover of any Changes
If you decide to leave a few items behind, purchase some new items or require additional packing services, let your moving and relocation company know about it in advance. Also, if you have any parking or access difficulties, make sure the relocation company is aware of them.
Take the Day Off
On the moving day, take the day off and spend it with the movers. Even if you’re very busy at work, it is very important that you yourself will be there with the mover to make sure everything goes smoothly and the communication is direct and efficient.

We had an exceptional moving experience with Alpha Moving when they handled the relocation of our 5 bedroom house to another state. From start to finish … More the service was outstanding. The team was punctual, professional, and incredibly efficient. They took great care in transporting our belongings, ensuring everything arrived intact.

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.
