Moving is not only one of the most stressful experiences, it is also one of the most expensive. This is why, when it comes to moving, most of us look to cut down costs. Finding an affordable, yet reliable moving company is the “holy grail” of people about to relocate. Is it possible? Here’s what you need to do in order to find inexpensive, yet reliable long distance movers.
Finding Inexpensive Long distance movers – Company Size and Location
When it comes to finding affordable long distance movers, you need to take into account two factors: the size of the moving company and the location of the moving company.
A larger company will be able to combine several shipments and lower costs. Smaller companies will either need to send an exclusive truck, something which is very expensive, or combine their shipment with that of other long distance movers. A larger company will be able to provide you with a good quality service, while keeping the costs down by combining shipments and sending them via trailer.
As for location, the closer the mover is to your origin point, the less expensive it is for it to perform the pickup.
Finding Inexpensive Long distance movers – Doing it Yourself
A good mover will be able to guide you through the process of doing some of the preliminary work on your own to lower costs. By getting packing materials in advance and doing some of the packing yourself, you will be able to save money. Of course, the packing need to be properly done with boxes and materials that are approved by your moving service provider. You can request your Alpha Moving and Storage relocation consultant for information about box-deliveries. We can deliver boxes and other packing materials at your doorstep. Call us any time for more information about how to cut down the cost of your long distance move.

The Alpha Moving team was professional, efficient, and handled my belongings with great care. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and made the entire … More moving process stress-free. Everything arrived in its original condition, and the pricing was fair with no hidden fees. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable moving service! -
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!
