The advantages of preparing a detailed inventory for your coming move are both practical and financial. Having a detailed and accurate inventory will help your mover to provide you with a better and more accurate estimate. It will also help you to sort out things that you are not interested in moving and possibly reduce the costs of the move. In this Alpha Moving and Storage post, we will demonstrate how creating a detailed inventory can help you with your upcoming move.
Preparing your inventory and Sorting out Items
You’ll be surprised to hear how many people end up taking and paying for the moving of items they do not need, only because they failed to properly inventory their goods in advance. Go room by room and prepare a list of the items you will be taking with you, the items you are still considering whether or not to take with you and the items you will be leaving behind.
Organizing your inventory in such a way will also assist you to reach decisions about what items you would like to pack yourself and what items you would like the movers to pack for you.
Providing your Mover with Information Regarding Inventory Changes
Be sure to provide your relocation company timely updates about any inventory changes you may be doing. It doesn’t matter whether you are buying and adding new furniture or getting rid of some items, such changes will almost always influence the price of the move. Be sure to update your mover about them and avoid unwanted and unnecessary surprises on the day of the move.

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. Everything arrived in its original condition, and the pricing was fair with no hidden fees. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable moving service! -
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!
