Almost everyone seeks to find ways to lower their moving and storage expenses. However, getting prices that are too low, or “too good to be true” might just prove disastrous. So how do you reduce your moving costs without getting involved with the wrong sort of company? This new Alpha Moving and Storage article offers some answers to this question.
Preparing for Getting Your Estimate
There are several actions you can perform prior to calling relocation companies to help you reduce moving costs. We recommend that you create a full inventory list, which includes all your items, even those you are considering leaving behind. Once you have such a list, it will be easier for you to sort things out, sell, donate or throw away unwanted or unnecessary items. This is a great way of reducing your inventory and saving on your moving costs. Also, prepare a packing list so you can describe to potential movers which items require extra handling.
Questions You Should be Asking Your Mover
Ask all moving companies you are considering whether they are local, licensed and insured, whether they can offer you references and can send an estimator to your house to provide you with a written estimate.
Learning how to Compare Moving Prices
Don’t just compare the bottom line price. You should take a look at the basic charge unit moving companies offer you. The basic charge unit – the rate per pound or per cubic feet, or the hourly rate – should clearly appear on your estimate form. If it doesn’t, be sure to contact your relocation consultant and ask that it is added to your estimate form.

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!
