Saying that long distance moving can be stressful is almost as clichéd as saying that the wheel is always turning or that the customer is always right. Like most clichés it became such a familiar saying because it is based on something true and common.
Moving to a new place, sometimes thousands of miles away, can indeed be stressful.
The good news is that managing your long distance move better can actually reduce the stress levels. Let’s see how that can be done.
Selecting the right Moving Company
Again, it may sound like we are stating the obvious, but a lot of people make wrong decisions when they are selecting the NJ movers for their long distance move.
Try to avoid the following mistakes when selecting a NJ mover for your long distance move:
- A flashy website does not mean that you are dealing with a reputable moving company.
- Don’t select a mover before checking license numbers and reputation.
- Compare the basic charge units and not the bottom line price of all the moving estimates you are receiving.
- Don’t forget to inquire about the prices for packing and packing materials.
Managing your Time and Resources
Start planning your long distance move at least five to six weeks in advance. This will allow you to:
- Research moving companies and their long distance estimates in a thorough way.
- Dedicate enough time to inventorying and packing.
- Create a daily task list which will allow you to comfortably prepare and be ready for the move date.
Last, but not least – make sure you are familiar with your moving company, make sure they have a local headquarters and visit it to inspect their trucks and facilities. Also, have the movers visually inspect your property and the items that you intend to move long distance.

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!
