Because of the many expenses involved in long distance moving, getting discounted prices can make a lot of difference. This Alpha Moving and Storage article will help you in getting discounted prices for your long distance move.

Moving Services and Long Distance Discounts – Asking the Right Questions

It is important that you make sure you are dealing with a reputable company before asking for discounted prices. A dishonest company will be quick to promise you with discounts and incredibly low prices. Therefore, check the reputation of the company before asking for discounted rates. You could easily do that by checking the company on the Better Business Bureau website, asking for references and double checking the company’s licensing information.
Ask when the next shipment going to your destination state will be leaving. Sometimes, moving companies will have empty spaces available on their trailers and will be willing to provide discounted rates in order to fill them up.
Also, if you are in need of storage, ask if the company has one month of free storage. Many long distance companies provide this service.

Moving Services and Long Distance Discounts – Making the Right Choices

There is a difference between a discounted price and a price that is too good to be true. Beware of low-ball prices provided by companies that will do whatever they can to convince you into scheduling a move with them, then raise the price on the day of the move. Sometimes, saving money is all about making the right choices.

The team was punctual, professional, and showed exceptional care for both the Brooklyn apartment and the New Jersey home.
