Local moving is the most common type of relocation. It covers a wide area of moving, from relocating a few blocks away to relocating to another remote city in the same state. While most local moving is simpler in nature than long distance moving, there are still many variables and some important issues to cover.
Here are some of the most essential tips that can aid you with your local move.
Understanding Local Moving
In most instances, local moving is charged by the hour. The hourly rate is normally determined according to the number of movers that will be required for your move. While small moves will require only two or three movers, larger moves may require five or even six movers.
Additional costs normally involve packing and packing materials. There may also be additional costs for access conditions, flights of stairs, certificates of insurance and so on.
Selecting a Local Mover
In order to find the best mover for your local move, you will need to seek a service provider with a physical location in your immediate area. Such a mover will be familiar with the area of the pick up and the area of the destination and will be able to provide you with flexibility and accuracy regarding the pick up time and date and the delivery.
You should check the physical location of the mover you are considering to ensure that it actually has local facilities that include all the equipment you will need, in your immediate area. If storage is required, make sure that the mover has a proper storage facility, which is suitable for your relocation needs. In some cases, movers may provide you with up to one month of free storage for local moving.

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!
