long Distance Moving Company

Moving can get stressful and confusing, which is why we have assembled some of the best tips and advice our Alpha Moving and Storage dispatch and sales professionals had to offer. Read on for advice from some of the finest professionals in the industry.  

Money-Saving Tips 

Most of our professionals had these two tips to offer customers who wanted to lower the costs of their move: do as much of the packing as possible on your own and start tour moving preparations early. 

Ask your relocation service provider to deliver boxes to your house. Packing items such as books, files and other non-breakables on your own, can significantly reduce your packing costs. 

Starting early will allow you to do some of the packing on your own and get rid of excess inventory to further reduce your moving costs. 

Time Saving Tips 

To save time, try and disassemble some of the items, such as tables with removable legs and so on. Place boxes that you had packed on your own in one place, preferably as close to the house entrance as possible. Finally, try and reserve a nearby parking spot for the moving truck to make the pick up quicker and easier. 

Tips for Selecting your Moving Service Provider 

Never take the mover’s word for it. It is your responsibility to check each moving service provider’s reputation. Check the validity of license numbers. Go to the Better Business Bureau’s website and make sure the mover is an active member. Also, check if the mover has been successfully able to resolve past complaints.

    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.
