Long distance moving requires the careful touch of a knowledgeable and experienced moving and storage company. Alpha Moving and storage is happy to provide you with a few tips about finding such a mover.
Finding the Best Long Distance Moving Companies NYC has to Offer – Understanding the Moving Industry
Becoming familiar with the way the moving industry works will help you in making a better decision when the time comes to select your NYC mover. Local moves are conducted according to an hourly rate. The hourly rate reflects the number of movers you will require for your move. Larger moves are done with four, five, sometimes even six movers, while smaller moves are normally done with three movers.
Long distance moving is charged according to a set rate per pound or a set rate per cubic foot. Additionally, moving companies charge for the use of packing materials and the labor of packing.
Finding the Best Long Distance Moving Companies NYC has to Offer – Becoming More Familiar with Potential Movers
Conducting careful research is essential. Make sure that the company you are considering is located in NYC. Some companies advertise NYC services while actually located in remote areas. A local mover will be able to come to your apartment and provide you with an on-location written estimate.
Finding the Best Long Distance Moving Companies NYC has to Offer – Making the Right Decision on Time
Choose your NYC mover at least six to eight weeks in advance. Especially during the summer, moving and relocation companies become booked-solid. Obtaining a mover for the months of July or August at a last minute notice may prove to be very difficult. Research carefully, get an on-site estimate and make your selection enough time in advance.
As always, you are welcome to contact Alpha Moving and Storage with questions about NYC moving or any other moving-related subjects.

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.
