Long distance moving and storage Tips that Matter – Do it Yourself

With the guidance of your moving company, try to do as much of the packing and preparations yourself. Remember that because of the duration and complexity of long distance moves, everything needs to be properly and carefully packed. Ask your movers if they can deliver some boxes to your house prior to the moving date.

Long distance moving and storage Tips that Matter – Let the Movers do it for you

As much as you’d like to save on the packing costs, it is recommended to let the movers pack breakables, electronic equipment, antiques and so on. Try to sort out things that you could easily pack yourself and things that would be better packed by professional movers.

If you have a large amount of packing to do, consider asking your mover for a separate day of packing. The movers will arrive at your house a day prior to the move and bring all the boxes and packing materials you might need.

    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..
