Here is part three of our Alpha Moving and Storage guide for the best ways to save money on moving. The guide mainly concentrates on long distance moving, but includes general tips that are suitable for any type of move.
More Methods to Sort our your Goods
Surprisingly enough, color might be a significant factor when it comes to deciding what items you should take with you or leave behind. Each house is different when it comes to space, lighting and so forth. If you are going to paint the walls differently, or move to a sunnier climate, you should probably think, or rethink, the color of the furniture. You just might end up discovering that a lot of your living room furniture, for example, just won’t fit into your design plans. Again, it’s a pity to pay money for moving items only to end up discovering you don’t really need them, so think about every possible factor, including color, before actually adding an item to your inventory list.
Moving your Plants
A lot of people can get very attached to their plants. Unfortunately, moving plants is not recommended and in some cases not even legal. It is illegal to move plants into some states. Even when it is permitted, plants are heavy – think of the weight of dirt, and may not survive the time it will take to move your items long distance.
Donations
There are a lot of Goodwill agencies in your area that will be happy to receive your donation. When it comes to old clothes and other items such Goodwill agencies can use, you can both help the community and reduce your moving costs at the same time.

Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!
