Long Distance Moving Tips Provided by Alpha Moving & Storage
The subject about which our moving and relocation consultants receive the most questions is long distance moving and storage. Because of the complexities and many stages involved, long distance moving and storage requires skillful and experiences movers. When storage is involved, there are in fact two moves involved. The first is a move that involves pickup and delivery to storage, and a second move that involves bringing the goods out of storage and delivering them to the destination state.
In this Alpha Moving and Storage blog post, we provide some essential information about Long Distance Moving and Storage – particularly about moves that involve storage.
Preparing for your Long Distance Moving and Storage Relocation
When storage is involved, long distance moves require professional packing services. Professional movers will be able to pack your goods and boxes in a way that will ensure their safe delivery.
Since the goods will be loaded and offloaded two times – from pickup point to storage and from storage to the destination state, everything must be shrink-wrapped, bubble-wrapped, boxes etc. Television screens and other electronic equipment must be boxed and crated. Mattresses must go into mattress boxes and so on.
Preparing for Going into Storage
When preparing for a long distance move that involves storage services, it is best that you ask the moving company to send a representative to your house and provide you with an on-site written estimate. The on-site estimator will be able to estimate your packing needs and provide you with an estimate. This estimate will include picking up your goods and packing them, moving them into storage, the monthly storage fee, moving the items out of storage and delivering them to the destination state.
