A correct exchange of information between mover and customer is highly important for the successful outcome of a relocation process. In the same way that the mover must provide its customers with all relevant information about pricing, procedures, packing and so forth, the customer should provide detailed information about inventory, access, dates and times and so on.

In this post, we will examine some of the essential information that you should provide your movers with, in order to ensure the successful outcome of your relocation

Information about Locations and Times

When you provide your mover with information about your pick up and destination locations, be sure to mention the following details:

Essential Information you should provide your Mover

  • Time restrictions – Be sure to tell your mover if there are elevator hours, if you live in an apartment complex and can move only on specific hours etc. This information is absolutely essential and should be provided in advance.
  • Parking limitations – Check in advance and report any parking or access restrictions to your movers.

Information about Packing and Inventory

Whether you are self-packing or have decided to use full packing services, be sure to tell your mover about your packing needs in advance. If you have decided to self-pack, the best way to go is to consult with your relocation provider and ensure that you have the proper packing materials and know how to properly handle breakable items and electronic equipment.

Be sure to provide your relocation service with a detailed and accurate inventory list of all the goods you intend to 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.
