Alpha Moving & Storage Moving Tips

Because long distance moving involves long term processes, long term storage may often be necessary. When you switch workplaces, schools and universities, you may need to delay the shipment of your goods for weeks or sometimes even for months. Storage for your long distance move, at those kind of situations require some preparations.

This Alpha Moving and Storage blog post will detail a few of the most common procedures for obtaining storage for your long distance move.

Procedures

All goods that go into storage must undergo a full packing process. Although customers are permitted to pack some of the goods themselves, it is highly recommended to allow the movers to do full packing for you. Goods that spend days, weeks or months in storage must be well protected, covered and wrapped in order for damages to be avoided. Therefore, it is essential to fully prepare each and every item and have it properly packed.

Movers utilize specially designed boxes for all dishes, glass items, electronic equipment and other breakable items.

They also use bubble wrap for glass items and use blankets to cover all wooden items, tables, chairs and so forth. The blankets are then taped on the blanket side, so that they will be hermetically sealed.

Storage Billing and Schedule

Alpha Moving and Storage does not limit the amount of time its customers can spend in storage. Monthly invoices are sent to the customers. A move out of storage date can be predetermined or the customer can simply update us a few weeks before she is ready to begin the delivery process.

    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!
