Alpha Moving & Storage Long Distance Moving Tips
In this new Alpha Moving & Storage Information blog article we discuss everything you need to know about long distance moving and storage. We collected tips and recommendations from our dispatch managers, foremen and sales representatives and are proud to present them here.
Trim Down Inventory For Your Long Distance Move
Long distance moving and storage is volume or weight based. Taking this into consideration, you should try to trim down your inventory as much as possible. Get rid of all unnecessary furniture, unused storage items, old collections you no longer have any use for, etc. Tidying up can save you a lot of money for your long distance move.
Contact Your Movers As Early As Possible
Try to contact your long distance moving and storage company and schedule your moving date at least four to six weeks before your pick up date. Scheduling early will ensure availability and will give you enough time for packing and moving inventory decisions.
Read and Understand Your Moving Price and Contract
Make sure you fully understand your long distance moving price. The price should be presented in easy to understand terms and include a mention of all possible fees, such as packing fees, additional elevator or stairs fees, etc. If you are not sure about any of the details appearing on your estimate or about any of the price details, be sure to contact your relocation consultant and ask for clarifications.

Local, New Jersey Storage Services
If you need storage services, check with your moving company about a possible one month of free storage. If you are going into storage, we strongly recommend that you allow the moving company to perform all packing services for you. Household goods that go into storage need to be carefully and professionally packed and protected. This is why professional packing is essential and highly recommended.

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!
