We all want to find the best, most affordable and reputable long distance relocation company. A simple internet search provides us with hundreds of promising results, yet which are genuinely suitable for our needs? This Alpha Moving and Storage article offers simple answers to the question outlined above.

Becoming Familiar with Long Distance Moving

The first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with long distance moving. As relocation companies use 50′ trailers to conduct them, long distance moving is charged according to the weight or space your shipment would take on the trailer performing the long-distance delivery. The moving company will measure or weigh your shipment in order to determine actual charges. Prior to the move, you will receive a rate per pound or a rate per cubic foot from your moving and relocation company.

The Best Moving Companies for Long Distance Relocation

Selecting the Best Offer

Our recommendation is to receive three to six estimates from reputable companies. Be sure to check each company’s reputation before considering the estimate it offered you. When comparing the various prices, you will need to compare the basic price unit – the rate per pound, or the rate per cubic foot. You will also need to compare extra charges, such as packing pricing, prices for flights of stairs, elevator usage and so on.

Making sure you are dealing with a Reputable Company

Even the most amazing price is meaningless unless provided by a reputable company. It is recommended that you request each company to send a representative to your house and provide you with an on-location estimate. Make sure that the company’s physical address and license numbers appear on the written estimates you receive from all companies.
