We all want to find the best possible moving service at an affordable price. However, accepting low priced moving offers without thoroughly checking the reputation of the mover involved may lead to disastrous results. This new Alpha Moving and Storage blog post provides information about finding the best possible moving service at an affordable price, while being cautious enough to double check the price and reputation of the company involved.

The difference between an affordable price and a price that is too good to be true 

All moving service providers have similar expense, especially when it comes to long distance moving. While getting moving estimates, if you are getting a price that is significantly lower than all the others, you should probably be wary and double check that it comes from a legitimate company. While competition is healthy and differences of five to ten percent can still be regarded as legitimate, going with a company that provides a price thirty to fifty percent lower than all other probably means that charges will be increased on the day of the move.

 Selecting the Best Possible Moving Service at an Affordable Price

Reputation and Affordable Prices

Checking the reputation of moving service providers before actually receiving prices will save you a lot of precious time and unnecessary trouble. Make sure that each moving company you are dealing with is a member of the Better Business Bureau. Ask the company to provide you with references from customers who have used its services in the past. Make sure that all licensing information appears on the written estimate the moving company provides you. Double check that all the licenses are in order.

Ask your moving service provider about any possible extra fees. Such extra charges should appear in writing on the estimate.

If you have any questions about getting a moving service at an affordable price, feel free to contact Alpha Moving and Storage at any time.

    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.
