Packing and Packing Materials for Local Moving in New Jersey
Packing is required for all glass parts, small items that need to be placed in boxes, mattresses, electronic equipment and any other items that may incur damages during the relocation process.
Alpha Moving and Storage customers have the option of doing some or all of their local packing on their own. You are welcome to consult with your relocation consultant in order to reach your packing decisions.
Alpha Moving is able to sell you packing materials, such as boxes, bubble wrap, tape and shrink-wrap prior to the move, to help you with your packing. You can also request full packing service.
Working with Inventories and Reducing your Local Moving Costs
The fact remains that most people move a lot of items they don’t really need. Some tend to just let the movers haul everything they own onto the moving truck, without sorting our unnecessary items before hand. This, of course, is a mistake. Sorting out and getting rid of unnecessary items is a great way to reduce your local moving costs. A good way to do that is working with inventories. When you go room by room to write down everything that you own, it automatically makes it easier for you to get rid of unnecessary items. Start early, at least a few weeks before your moving date, go room by room and get rid of unnecessary items little by little and every day.

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!
