Alpha Moving & Storage Basic NJ Moving Tips

Order Packing Supplies in Advance

Starting to pack early will make your life much easier. The best way to do that is to order packing supplies in advance. Contact Alpha Moving and Storage a few weeks prior to your move and ask about our packing and box-delivery services.

Choose Your Mover Early

Waiting till the last minute to choose your mover will leave you little time for all the final necessary arrangements. Try to make your final moving decisions at least three to four weeks in advance.

Clearly Label and Number all Boxes

Labeling is something that can save you a lot of time and money. Every box should be properly labeled. The label should mention the contents and the designated room. Clearly mark boxes with fragile content as such.

Let the Movers Handle Electronics and Fragile Items

Even if you decide to do the packing yourself, it is recommended to let the mover handle electronics and delicate items. Professional movers have the experience, knowledge and materials to properly pack and handle items such as televisions, computers, glass and marble tops and so on.

Inform Your Mover of any Changes

If you decide to leave a few items behind, purchase some new items or require additional packing services, let your moving and relocation company know about it in advance. Also, if you have any parking or access difficulties, make sure the relocation company is aware of them.

Take the Day Off

On the moving day, take the day off and spend it with the movers. Even if you’re very busy at work, it is very important that you yourself will be there with the mover to make sure everything goes smoothly and the communication is direct and efficient.

    My experience using Alpha Moving and Storage was excellent. The crew was courteous and professional. They took their time to ensure that everything was … More covered and packaged before the move so there was no damage.

    I recently hired Alpha Moving to help a family member move from a 3rd-floor walk-up in Brooklyn to New Jersey, and I couldn't be more impressed with … More their service. The team was punctual, professional, and showed exceptional care for both the Brooklyn apartment and the New Jersey home. They took extra precautions to protect the walls and floors, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent before, during, and after the move, making the entire process much less stressful. I highly recommend Alpha Moving to both family and clients—they’re reliable, professional, and offer very reasonable pricing..
