Finding a good, experienced and reputable long distance moving and storage company is not an easy task. Because of the unique challenges long distance moving poses, it is essential to conduct careful research regarding the professional capabilities of potential movers. This latest Alpha Moving and Storage blog article provides some information to help you begin your online search and make your final selection.
Searching for Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies – Beginning your Online Search
Be as specific as possible with your online search. Search for companies located in your immediate area. A general search, such as “moving companies” will yield many irrelevant results, including broker services and companies that have offices and headquarters in remote locations. Searches such as “local long distance moving companies in Jersey City” will provide you with more specific results. Still, it is very important to verify the physical address of each of each and every moving company.
Searching for Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies – Selecting a Suitable Relocation Service
When selecting a long distance moving service, you are advices to take into account three factors: price, location and reputation.
When it comes to the price, make sure the mover is affordable, yet not significantly lower than industry standard. Estimates that are too low will usually be jacked-up on the day of the move.
Location should also play an important part in your decision. Local moving companies will usually be better equipped to answer your particular moving needs in a timely manner.
As for reputation, don’t just take the mover’s word for it. Check that the company’s license numbers are legitimate, visit the Better Business Bureau’s website and check if the company addresses complaints and tries to resolve them. Ask your moving company to provide you with references.

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.
