Getting familiar with your potential relocation company and its reputation is an essential part of insuring a successful move. All moving companies claim to be reputable, but you will need to verify your mover’s claims and do some careful research of your own. This Alpha Moving and Storage article provides a few important tips that will help you do just that.
Asking for References
It’s pretty obvious that you should ask for references, it’s a little less obvious to check the origin of your references. Make sure the references your potential mover gives you are genuine. Ask for the email addresses of customers who underwent similar moves and write them a brief mail to verify their existence and ask them about their moving experience in person. A good moving company should have no problem providing genuine references.
Verifying all the Details
Make sure that you get a proper address as well as all the correct licensing information for any moving company you are considering. The address you are receiving should not be a P.O box, the address of a self-storage facility and so forth. It may be a good idea to consider a local company that provides an office address in your area. This way, you will be able to pay the company a visit and make sure you are dealing with a genuine and legitimate business and not with an online virtual entity or a broker.
Another good way of getting familiar with your future mover is to request that a representative will pay a visit to your house and provide you with a written estimate. The estimator will be able to leave you with a written estimate that will contain the moving company’s address and all the relevant licensing information, as well as an actual price for your coming move.

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!
