While local moving may be logistically easier that long distance and large commercial moves, it still has its own complexities. Even moving just a few blocks away should be done professionally and in a timely manner.
In this post, we examine a few essential tips and trade secrets that will help you with your coming local move.
Keeping the Local in Local Moving
You’d be surprised to find out how many non-local moving companies are offering their services for moves in your neighborhood. Taking a local company for your local move will help you to get better service and avoid unexpected surprises on the moving day.
Local movers will be able to send a representative to your house to provide you with an on-site accurate estimate. If you need storage, a local company will be better equipped to provide you with long or short term storage solutions.
Taking Care of the Practical Aspects
Making sure that the moving truck will have a parking place next to the pick up and destination location, taking care of packing beforehand and providing your mover with timely inventory updates will help you to avoid surprises when the moving date comes. Taking care of all the little details will make a lot of difference. Local moves are charged hourly, which means that saving time equals saving money. The more effective you are with your preparation, the less time will the move take and the less money you will need to spend.

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!
