The two words that best define the wishes of every moving customer are “affordable” and “reputable.” We all want to get the best possible service from a highly reputable company, yet spend a reasonable amount of money. But is it possible to combine the two? We believe so. Here is how you can look for moving companies that are both reputable and affordable.
Timing is Everything
An early start on your preparations can save you a lot of effort and money. Especially during the busy summer months, it is best to contact movers at least six weeks in advance. Starting the process early will give you more time to make inventory adjustments, sort out the various offers from different movers and do some of the packing on your own.
Searching for the Right Company
Finding a mover that is both affordable and reputable is also a question of focusing your search efforts. Local moving services in Jersey City will be able to give you more affordable prices. Companies that are remote from your area will normally need to charge higher rates.
Working with your Mover to Lower the Costs
Decide in advance whether you want to do the packing on your own or whether you want the moving company to do all your packing for you. You can try and combine the two by packing non-breakable items, such as books and files, on your own and have the movers take care of breakable items, electronic equipment and so on. Work closely with your movers by providing them with accurate inventory lists and updating them about any changes. A good mover will be able to give you advice and suggestions regarding how to lower the costs of your local or long distance relocation.

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.
