How you prepare for your relocation will have a crucial impact on the success of the moving process. Selecting a reputable moving company is only one aspect of the preparation process. Many people do not realize that there are many other preparation stages, stages that will involve the customer’s active participation. Such stages will involve taking careful inventories and making important decisions about the packing process.

Let’s take a look at some of the preparations for your relocation that will help you to experience a less stressful and more positive relocation experience.

Preparing for your Relocation in a more Effective Way

Determining your Relocation Moving Needs

In order to select the right moving company, you will need to better understand your relocation needs. When you know exactly what will be the items you will be taking with you and the items that you will be leaving behind, you will be able to provide moving companies with accurate inventories that will allow them to provide you with accurate prices. The same can be said about packing and packing materials, when you make your packing related decisions early then you will be able to allow your movers to provide you with an exact price for all of the packing needs you will require.

Finding out more about Special Moving Needs and Limitations

Determining your packing needs and your inventory is not enough. You will also need to determine any other special moving needs and limitations that you may have. Such needs include access difficulties, flights of stairs, elevators and elevator hours and restrictions, certificates of insurance, rules and regulations for building managements and closed communities and so on.

Share all the information you gathered with your movers. The more you find out about your special moving needs and limitations in advance, the easier will it be for your mover to provide you with an accurate estimate.

    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.
