Everyone wants to lower their relocation costs, but can one moving company prove to be significantly less expensive than another. Is there anything you yourself could do to lower relocation costs? This new Alpha Moving and Storage article provides concise answers to these important questions.
Learning More About Moving Costs and Expenses
Moving costs depend on the size and destination of your relocation, with long distance moving tending to be more expensive than local moving. Local moves are normally charged by the hour. Long distance moves are normally charged by weight – with a rate per pound, or by space – with a rate per cubic foot. Additionally, movers may charge for packing and packing materials and for flights of stairs, elevator usage and so on.
Easy Ways to Lower Your Moving Costs and Expenses
The easiest, and possibly most obvious, way of reducing the price of your move is to trim down your inventory. Especially when it comes to long distance moving, in which weight or space play a crucial part, taking off two or three bulky or heavy items may significantly reduce your relocation price.
More Ways to Lower your Moving Costs and Expenses
Another great way of reducing your relocation cost is doing some of the packing on your own. You should be smart when doing self-packing. Let the movers pack delicate glass items, electronic equipment and other easily breakable items. Pack books, files and non-breakables on your own. You should order a box delivery to your home a few weeks prior to your moving date. This will allow you to pack a few boxes each day and avoid a situation in which you will not be packed on time and will need to use the relocation company’s services.

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.
