If you are preparing for a local NJ move or for a move from NJ to another state, there are several preparatory stages that will need to undergo in order to experience a successful relocation.
These include:
- Selecting a reliable moving service
- Comparing moving estimates
- Making decisions about the packing process
- If relevant: taking care of storage needs
Let’s take a brief look at each of these preparatory stages.
Comparing Moving Estimates from Local NJ Companies
- Make sure you understand the terms and conditions. It is essential that you know what the basic charge unit is. In local moves, it is normally a rate per hour and in long distance moves it is normally a rate per cubic foot or a rate per pound.
- Check for extra fees, such as packing other moving related charges.
Selecting a Reliable NJ Mover
- Check that the mover has actual headquarters and facilities in NJ
- Make sure you are dealing with a reputable company. Ask for references and check if all licenses are valid.
Making Decisions about the Packing Process
- Check for packing prices and options
- Decide whether you want your mover to perform full packing or if you would like to do some of the packing on your own.
- Ask your mover to deliver boxes and materials if you decided to do some of the packing on your own.
Storage Needs
- Make sure that your mover has local storage facilities in your area.
- Check the fixed monthly storage fee.
- Check about prices for moving your goods in and out of storage.

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!
