Long distance moving requires the careful touch of a knowledgeable and experienced moving and storage company. Alpha Moving and storage is happy to provide you with a few tips about finding such a mover.

Finding the Best Long Distance Moving Companies NYC has to Offer – Understanding the Moving Industry

Becoming familiar with the way the moving industry works will help you in making a better decision when the time comes to select your NYC mover. Local moves are conducted according to an hourly rate. The hourly rate reflects the number of movers you will require for your move. Larger moves are done with four, five, sometimes even six movers, while smaller moves are normally done with three movers.

Long distance moving is charged according to a set rate per pound or a set rate per cubic foot. Additionally, moving companies charge for the use of packing materials and the labor of packing.

Conducting careful research is essential. Make sure that the company you are considering is located in NYC. Some companies advertise NYC services while actually located in remote areas. A local mover will be able to come to your apartment and provide you with an on-location written estimate.

Finding the Best Long Distance Moving Companies NYC has to Offer – Making the Right Decision on Time

Choose your NYC mover at least six to eight weeks in advance. Especially during the summer, moving and relocation companies become booked-solid. Obtaining a mover for the months of July or August at a last minute notice may prove to be very difficult. Research carefully, get an on-site estimate and make your selection enough time in advance.

As always, you are welcome to contact Alpha Moving and Storage with questions about NYC moving or any other moving-related subjects.

    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!

They were both friendly and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend working with them, and if we ever move again, I will 100% choose them.
