Before you can make your selection on which long distance moving company you select, there are a few key factors to look at. Do not just compare the bottom line prices that the companies have quoted to you. Compare the terms and conditions, hidden fees, and the fine print.
This Alpha Moving & Storage blog post will help you, not only in finding the best long distance moving companies, but also in selecting the perfect one for you.
Comparing Prices
When comparing long distance moving prices you shouldn’t only look at the bottom line price that appears on your estimate, but also check and double check the terms and conditions.
Since long distance movers charge by weight or space, you must know what basic charge unit they will be using for your move. If, for example, one company charges you fifty cents per pound and another charges you sixty, then the second company will always be the more expensive one. This will be true, even if the second company has given you a lower estimate. They’ve merely reduced the amount of weight on the estimate to make it appear less expensive.
Comparing Terms and Conditions
All the extra fees should be mentioned in the estimate itself. Take your time and read all the “fine print”. Make sure that you understand whether or not your quote includes packing services. If you require packing services and those are not mentioned on the estimate, be sure to check with your relocation consultant whether or not they are included in the price.

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!
