If you are about to undergo a long distance move, you definitely want to consider the various options available to you. Should you do your own packing, or should you utilize a moving company’s full packing services? What about storage options, delivery timeframes? There is a lot to learn and understand, and this new Alpha Moving and Storage article is a good place for you to start.

Discovering Various Possibilities

As often discussed in our various publications, determining your individual moving needs in advance will greatly assist you in receiving better and more accurate estimates. This will also help you in learning about various possibilities, such as long or short-term storage, full or partial packing and box deliveries.  

Consulting with your Moving Service Providers

Once you have determined your exact moving needs, you will be able to consult with your service provider and determine the costs and the best course of action. We recommend that you contact all potential service providers at least four-five weeks prior to the date in which you would like your goods picked up. Your best course of action is to request an on-site estimator to come to your house, inspect the goods to be taken and provide you with a written estimate.

Making Decisions Based on your Long Distance Moving Needs

Making your final decision should not only be based on pricing. Take into account the reputation and experience of the various movers considered, as well as their location. Also, be sure to determine the charging unit used by each individual service provider in order to make correct and accurate price comparisons.

    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!
