When considering state-to-state relocation, locating long distance movers in you area is of the utmost importance. Even though simple web searches will give you dozens of results for so called “local” long distance movers, only a handful are actually located in your immediate area. This Alpha Moving and Storage article will help you with the task of searching and locating long distance movers in your area.

Locating Long Distance Movers – Performing the Right Online Search

While conducting an online search, you will notice that Google presents you with local results at the top of the page. You will also notice the addresses of companies along with additional information, such as business hours etc. At the bottom of the local search results box, there is a “more places” link. If you click it, you will be redirected to another page with a map of your area and more local search results.

Locating Long Distance Movers in Your Area

Remember that the information appearing on those search results is information the movers themselves provided Google with. This means that you will need to verify the information before making your decisions.

Locating Long Distance Movers – Verifying the Information

The first step would be to select three or four moving companies to contact. When calling, tell the relocation consultant that you need a local long distance mover and ask to verify the address provided online.

Next, ask the mover to send a representative to your house and provide you with an on-site estimate. Companies located in your are shouldn’t have a problem to send one of their estimators to your house. The estimator will prepare a careful list of all your belongings and should provide you with a written quote. It is recommended not to get more than three to five different quotes from reputable moving and relocation companies in your area.

    I recently hired Alpha Moving to help a family member move from a 3rd-floor walk-up in Brooklyn to New Jersey, and I couldn't be more impressed with … More their service. The team was punctual, professional, and showed exceptional care for both the Brooklyn apartment and the New Jersey home. They took extra precautions to protect the walls and floors, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent before, during, and after the move, making the entire process much less stressful. I highly recommend Alpha Moving to both family and clients—they’re reliable, professional, and offer very reasonable pricing..
