Selecting a Local New Jersey Moving Company

Finding a local moving service provider for your next relocation may sound like an easy task. In theory, all you need to do is conduct a simple internet search, select the two-three first results, get an estimate, and go with the least expensive one. However, selecting a mover is a complicated task for several reasons:

  • Many times, the first search results are index sites and not actual moving company websites. These are internet websites that request you fill out personal details such as your name, phone number, move size and inventory list. Your information is then transferred by the index website to six to twelve prospective moving companies.
  • The least expensive estimate is not always the right one for your needs. Disreputable moving companies may try to intentionally lower the estimate, then raise the prices on the day of the move.
  • The estimates are sometimes presented in a confusing and difficult way, and may actually include hidden fees.

Ask Yourself Questions to Help You Pick the Right Mover

The local moving company you select to help you with your transition should provide clear answers to these questions:

  • Am I getting the best value for my next move?
  • Is the moving company I am dealing with reputable?
  • Will the local movers provide me with the best quality service?

Researching the moving industry and learning more about how to receive and understand moving prices will help you save money and avoid uncomfortable surprises on moving day.

    My experience using Alpha Moving and Storage was excellent. The crew was courteous and professional.

    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..
