Long Distance Moving Tips Provided by Alpha Moving & Storage
There are many complexities and stages involved with long distance moving. By understanding the various stages involved, contacting movers on time, packing and arranging correctly, and avoiding scams, you can improve your moving experience and cut down on your moving costs.
In this latest Alpha Moving & Storage blog post, we examine a few tips and trade secrets that will help you with your coming long distance move.
Contact Potential Movers Early
The sooner you contact potential movers, the better. Not only does long distance moving require plenty of preparation time, you may actually be able to get better rates and cut down on the costs by scheduling early. Add the fact that you’ll be able to do some of the packing yourself over the weeks preceding the move, and you’ll agree that contacting the movers at least six to eight weeks in advance is the right decision to make.
Make Proper Arrangements at the Destination Location
Most long distance moves will take between seven to twenty one days to be delivered. This means that you will need to make proper arrangements at the destination and find yourself a place of temporary residence.
Make sure that you take all the essential documents and medication as well as other essentials you will require for the days and weeks of waiting.
Avoid Brokers and Unknown Companies
Try to avoid brokers and unfamiliar companies for long distance moves. Most times, such companies will simply subcontract your long distance move, which means you will lose control over the delivery procedure and may be forced to pay much more for services rendered.
