Alpha Moving & Storage Moving Tips

Learning how to compare moving estimates for various NJ moving services may not be as easy as it sounds.

There are numerous relocation companies offering their services online, some of them are not real movers but brokers or index websites that provide your information to third party companies.

So how can you know which companies should be trusted and how will you be able to compare the various offers that you will receive?

Simple Comparisons that can help you select your NJ Mover

No matter whether you are moving long distance or local, keeping track of the basic charge unit and additional possible fees will enable you to compare prices in a realistic way.

Of course, all the price comparisons should be done only once you’ve established that you are dealing with reputable NJ movers; unless the company is reputable, the moving estimate you received can and probably will change on the move date.

Checking Reputation

  • Double check that you are dealing with a licensed company and not a broker by requesting the department of transportation information.
  • Check the company’s reputation via unbiased customer information services such as the Better Business Bureau.
  • Ask for real references that you can check. Ask customers about the quality of service they received for similar moves.

Comparing Charge Unites for Local and Long Distance Moves

Once you establish the fact that you are dealing with a reputable company, check the basic charge unit. The basic charge unit is the hourly rate for local moves and the price per pound of per cubic foot for long distance moves.

When you are receiving various prices, it is important to compare the basic charge units and not the bottom line price, as this is the only realistic way of determining how expensive or inexpensive a company is.

    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!
