Local moving may sound easier and quicker than long distance relocation, but it shares many of the complexities involved with state to state moving.
This newest “Essential Moving Tips” article will provide you some useful tips for local moving.
Scheduling Your Local Move
Just because it’s “local” doesn’t mean that you should wait for the very last minute to reserve your move. Many people make the mistake of not scheduling a few weeks in advance. Especially during the summer months, reputable movers will get booked up very quickly.
If you need to move at the end of the month or on a weekend, make sure the reputable mover you are considering is available and schedule your move a few weeks in advance.
Packing for Local Moving
What’s true about scheduling your move is just as true about packing your belongings. Even if your goods are just moving to the nearest town, unless you pack them properly, you are running the risk of incurring damages. Glass items, dishes, books, electronic equipment and delicates should all be properly packed.
Make sure that the mover you are considering has enough experience in providing packing services.
If you decide to do the packing yourself, order quality materials and new boxes that are intended for moving.
Sorting Out Furniture
Even if you are moving locally, you shouldn’t just throw everything on the truck. Sort out your inventory by preparing lists and get rid of unnecessary furniture and ‘junk’ that had accumulated over the years. This will make your move quicker, easier and more cost effective.

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!
