We all want to find the best, most affordable and reputable long distance relocation company. A simple internet search provides us with hundreds of promising results, yet which are genuinely suitable for our needs? This Alpha Moving and Storage article offers simple answers to the question outlined above.
Becoming Familiar with Long Distance Moving
The first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with long distance moving. As relocation companies use 50′ trailers to conduct them, long distance moving is charged according to the weight or space your shipment would take on the trailer performing the long-distance delivery. The moving company will measure or weigh your shipment in order to determine actual charges. Prior to the move, you will receive a rate per pound or a rate per cubic foot from your moving and relocation company.
Selecting the Best Offer
Our recommendation is to receive three to six estimates from reputable companies. Be sure to check each company’s reputation before considering the estimate it offered you. When comparing the various prices, you will need to compare the basic price unit – the rate per pound, or the rate per cubic foot. You will also need to compare extra charges, such as packing pricing, prices for flights of stairs, elevator usage and so on.
Making sure you are dealing with a Reputable Company
Even the most amazing price is meaningless unless provided by a reputable company. It is recommended that you request each company to send a representative to your house and provide you with an on-location estimate. Make sure that the company’s physical address and license numbers appear on the written estimates you receive from all companies.

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.
