Packing Tips Provided by Alpha Moving & Storage
It is no secret that packing is one of the most important aspects of any move.
Decisions about packing should be done at a very early stage of your move planning as they will assist you in understanding just how much work you have to do, how you can break it into manageable daily tasks and whether or not you will need the assistance of professional movers.
Let’s take a look at how arranging your packing schedule can help you to experience a better relocation process.
Making Early Decisions about Packing
It is important to make the decisions regarding your packing strategy at an early stage, preferable even before you contact a relocation company.
Obviously, the first decision will be whether or not you will do the packing yourself.
Even if you decide to have professional movers do all of your packing for you, you will still need to decide if you would like them to pack everything on the moving day itself or if you want them to come a day or two before for a separate day of packing.
A separate day of packing is normally recommended for large relocation with many glass items, antiques and so on.
Creating Manageable Packing Tasks
If you are interested in doing your own packing, prepare a full list of all the packing that needs to be done.
The best way to do this is to go room by room and write down individual items of furniture that need to be packed and an estimated number of boxes.
According to the time you have remaining before your moving date, divide the packing activity into daily manageable tasks.
This method will help you to be better prepared for the moving date and avoid unnecessary last minute stress and anxiety.

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.
