People normally, often mistakenly, assume that they can either get quality moving services for very high prices or poor-quality services for an affordable price.

This new Alpha Moving and Storage article will demonstrate that this is not the case. 

Can I Really Get Quality Service at an Affordable Price?

The answer is a definite yes. In order to get quality services for an affordable price, you need to make sure that the company is large enough and has a local headquarters. Local companies will be able to pick up and handle your goods for less. Large companies will be able to combine long-distance shipments and easily send their available trucks for local moves. Selecting the right company will often lead to reduced prices and better service.

How can I Be Sure that My Price Will Not Change on the Day of the Move?

You can do that by doing two things. First of all, make sure that the company you are dealing with is reputable by checking its Better Business Bureau and licensing information. Don’t settle for an estimate over the phone; ask for an on-site estimator to come to your house and provide you with a price in writing.

Is there Anything I can Do Myself to Lower the Price of the Move?

There are several things that you can do. Start your search for moving companies early, especially if you are moving during the busy summer months. This will help you to avoid last-minute higher rates. Try to do some of the packings on your own, mainly for books, files, and other non-breakable items. If you require storage, prefer the services of companies that offer one month of free storage in their local facilities.

    The Alpha Moving team was professional, efficient, and handled my belongings with great care. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and made the entire … More moving process stress-free.

    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!

We moved from one high-rise to another, which required coordinating elevator reservations and meeting tight deadlines, … More and they handled everything seamlessly. They were both friendly and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend working with them, and if we ever move again, I will 100% choose them.
