You’ve already collected several estimates from relocation companies. Now comes the time to make your selection and reserve your long distance mover. But comparing the prices, terms and conditions may prove to be extremely confusing. This Alpha Moving and Storage article demonstrates how to compare long distance moving and storage companies in order to make better and more educated decisions.

Selecting Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies

Selecting Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies-What you should Compare

The three main things you should compare when considering various service providers are location, reputation and price. First of all, you want to make sure the company you are considering is familiar with your area and has a lot of experience in handling similar moves. Then you want to make sure that the price is within your budges. Double check for so called “hidden fees” to avoid uncomfortable surprises on the moving day. Last, but definitely not least, you want to check the reputation of your long distance moving and relocation company. Use the Better Business Bureau and the federal motor carrier safety administration website and check for ratings and complaints.

Selecting Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies- How you should Decide

Before making your final decision, write down a list of all the moving companies you are considering. Write the advantages of each company – which of them has the best price, the best reputation, the most experience and so forth. Once you finish writing your list take your time to compare. Don’t think only about the final price. Sometimes, a company which is slightly more expensive could offer you a much better, easier moving experience. If you are unsure about some of the details and pricing information, be sure to contact your personal relocation consultant and ask for explanations. Our Alpha Moving and Storage relocation experts will be happy to answer any question you might have.

    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.
