If you are contemplating a local or long distance move in New Jersey, this new Alpha Moving and Storage article has all the tips and information you are looking for, from the importance of selecting a local service provider to the advantages of receiving an on-location written estimate.

The Importance of Finding a Local Mover

In the internet day and age, it is easy for a mover to present itself as local and appear on various search results, without having an actual office in the area. This is why you should actively check the exact location of all movers you are dealing with. If the company provides an address in a remote area, it is better to look elsewhere, even if it claims to be frequenting your area on a regular basis.

The Importance of Getting a Written Estimate

It is highly recommended to have the company send an estimator to your house and provide you with a written, on location estimate. Such estimates will almost always be more accurate. Also, if you are in need of packing services, the estimator will be able to offer you an exact price rather than an approximation.

Some Final Considerations

Selecting the right mover is a matter of taking into account various considerations. Ideally, your mover should be local, should offer you an affordable and easily understandable price, as well as provide you with a written estimate and offer you an exact date and time for pick up.

Finally, do not neglect to check the mover’s reputation and do not be lured into accepting offers from unlicensed companies, no matter how tempting their offers may be.

    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!
