Finding movers in NJ can prove to be both an easy and a daunting task. On the one hand, there seems to be a countless variety of movers in NJ. One could easily receive estimates from a dozen service providers or more. On the other hand, there are too many shady service providers, brokers who hand out the move to third-party companies and so on.
This new Alpha Moving and Storage blog post offers some insights that will help you sort out the good from the bad and make an educated decision regarding your relocation.
How to Find Movers in NJ – Going Local
Why is going local so important?
A local company will be familiar with your neighborhood, with your specific parking needs, local traffic and so on. It will be able to send a representative to your house and provide you with an on-location written estimate. In most cases, such estimates prove to be much more accurate.
A local company will be there on time, not having to travel long distances from another city to get to your house.
That being said, a local company won’t necessarily be a reputable one, so be sure to check its reputation before making your final decision.
How to Find Movers in NJ – Knowing who to Trust
As said above, even if the moving company is located just around the corner, you still need to make sure it is a reputable organization. If properly done, checking the reputation of moving companies is easy. Check the Better Business Bureau record of the mover, request all license numbers to check that they are in order and request references from satisfied customers. Be methodical. If a company doesn’t provide you with all the information, license numbers, references, etc., just move on to the next service provider.
