Finding a moving service provider that will answer all your needs sounds easy in theory. All you need to do is perform a simple web search, look at the top moving service results and pick from the first moving service providers that shop up in the results. But soon enough, you may discover that supposedly simple task to prove quite daunting. Many of the companies are not even moving service providers, but brokers and index sites, many of them are not even located in your area and others give confusing and difficult to understand estimates.
Focusing on Moving Service Providers Suitable for your Needs
In order to avoid the confusing situation detailed above, you should limit your searches by applying the following criteria:
- The moving service provider should be located in your area.
- The moving service provider should present you with an easy to follow and understand estimate that will include the basic charge unit and all possible additional fees.
- The moving service provider should be able to commit to an exact day and time in which the move will begin.
- The moving service provider should provide you with references.
- The moving service provider should have a good standing with the Better Business Bureau.
Limiting your Searches
You should limit your searches to three to five quality service providers. It is recommended to check the above criteria for each individual company before contacting it. Contacting companies that aren’t located in your area, brokers or companies without a solid reputation would ultimately prove confusing and frustrating. Doing careful research beforehand and limiting your searches to a group of select movers in your area will help you to experience a pleasant and cost-effective move.

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.
