Alpha Moving & Storage Packing Tips

It goes without saying that packing is possibly the most important factor of any long distance move. Because of the complexity of long distance moving and the fact that delivery may take days, and if storage is needed even months after the pick up date, careful packing is a must. Some of your most important decisions about your relocation process will have to do with packing.

Here are some packing advices that will help you to come up with better decisions and experience a better relocation experience.

Packing Advice One – Determining your Packing Plan

An important element is to determine your packing plan in advance. You will need to decide whether you want to do all the packing by yourself, perform some of the packing or have the mover do full packing for you.

An early decision about your packing plan will help you to determine the amount of time you will need, assuming you have decided to do all the packing by yourself.

Additionally, it may help you to let the movers know about your packing plans at an early stage and assist them in coming up with the best strategy for your move.

Packing Advice Two – Selecting your Packing Plan

The recommendation, especially for long distance moves, is to go with a full packing plan. Full packing is done by professional movers who will bring all the supplies, boxes and materials you will need and pack the entire contents of your house.

Full packing is the best way for you to try and avoid damages and enjoy a better moving experience.

    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!
