We often speak of services and information that your mover needs to provide you with, and for a good reason. But, for a move to be successful, the communication needs to work both ways and there are definitely things that fall under the customer’s responsibility.

In this Alpha Moving and Storage blog post, we will take a look at some essential information you must provide your mover with in order to experience a successful relocation.

Inventories and Inventory Updates

It goes without saying that you need to provide your mover with a precise inventory list. That being said, many customers make the mistake of not updating their mover about inventory changes.

Essential Information you need to provide your Mover with

Let’s say, for example, that you are about to perform a long distance move. Removing a single item, such as a sofa, will definitely change the weight or volume of your shipment. Failing to report such a change to your movers may result in price fluctuations.

Pick Up and Delivery Information

When it comes to moving, every little detail about your pick up and destination location might influence the moving conditions and even the moving price. Provide your mover with all the relevant information regarding access, flights of stairs, elevators and elevator restrictions, gated community details, certificates of insurance and so forth.

Be as detailed as possible. Sometimes, details that seem of little or no importance to you may prove to have a crucial importance for the movers. If you’re unsure about some of the information you need to provide, check with your Alpha Moving and Storage relocation consultant in order to receive additional details and information.

    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.
