Long distance moving is one of the most expensive types of relocation. People constantly seek cost-effective solutions in an attempt to cut down on their expenses. This Alpha Moving and Storage blog article takes a look at some simple solutions for cutting down on the costs of your upcoming relocation.
Cutting Down on your Packing Costs
In order to cut down on your packing costs, begin your preparation process at least six weeks before the actual pick up date, Although it is recommended to have the mover pack the glass items and electronic equipment for you, you could still pack books, files, and non-breakables. By starting early, you could do a little of the packing each day. Four to six weeks in which you will do a daily hour of packing will make a lot of difference once the day of the move comes.
Cutting Down on your Storage Costs
Many moving and relocation companies offer one month of free storage for their long-distance customers. Be sure to check with your Alpha Moving and Storage relocation consultant regarding the availability of our one month of free storage special.
Cutting Down on your Shipping Costs
Prepare a careful inventory list of all the items in your house. Go room by room and estimate the number of boxes to be packed with it. Once you have a complete list, it will be easier for you to trim down the list of items. Getting rid of unnecessary items help you in considerable cutting down your costs, as long distance moving charges are based on the exact volume or weight of your shipment.

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!
