This is the second part of the complete Alpha Moving and Storage guide for moving long distance from New Jersey. In the first part, we looked at the way long distance moving from New Jersey to other states are charged. In this part, we will take a look at possible additional charges and ways in which moving costs can be reduced.
Possible Additional Charges for Moving Long Distance from New Jersey
You need to take into account that possible additional fees may apply for your long distance move. You will need to decide whether you would like to do the packing yourself or have the moving company perform full packing for you. Alpha Moving and Storage specializes in full packing services for long distance moving.
Self-packing should begin as early as possible, preferably at least two weeks before the actual moving date.
Try to notify Alpha Moving and Storage about any restrictions, elevator hours, access difficulties etc. The more precise you are with the information you provide your mover, the better.
Reducing Costs for your Long Distance Move from New Jersey
Because fees for moving long distance are all about volume, reducing costs has to do first and foremost with reducing the inventory. This is why it is so important to create an inventory list as soon as at least six weeks prior to your long distance move from New Jersey. This list should include all the items in your house. You need to go room by room and write everything down, even items you are still not sure whether you will be moving or not. It’s always better to sort out and take off items from your list than discover that you’d forgotten a few pieces. Go over the list and try to get rid of all the items that you don’t really need.
