Long distance moves that involve storage require the use of a skillful and experienced relocation company. This new Alpha Moving and Storage blog post provides advice and information that will help you in finding the best long distance moving companies for long-term storage.
Understanding Your New Jersey Storage Options
Most professional companies will store your goods in a storage facility located at their local headquarters, close to the origin point of your move. Make sure companies do not offer you the use of a self-storage facility that does not belong to them. In order to do that, it is recommended that you pay a visit to the storage facility and make sure it is owned by the mover and adequate for your needs.
Preparing for Storage
Storage and long distance moving are charged based on the volume of your shipment. Therefore, it is recommended that you trim down your inventory and sell or donate the stuff you don’t need. You don’t want to pay storage and moving fees for items you will end up throwing away at the destination point.
Long and Short-Term Storage Options and Decisions
Some moving companies offer one month of free storage. This is especially significant for long distance moves that require only short-term storage. The movers should provide you with a set storage fee per month in advance. Also, you need to remember that moving in and out of storage requires professional packing. Be sure to inquire about packing services and prices in advance and make sure these are included with the quote provided you. For self-packing, ask for the guidance of the movers and their assistance with packing materials.

Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!
