If you are preparing for a local NJ move or for a move from NJ to another state, there are several preparatory stages that will need to undergo in order to experience a successful relocation.
These include:
- Selecting a reliable moving service
- Comparing moving estimates
- Making decisions about the packing process
- If relevant: taking care of storage needs
Let’s take a brief look at each of these preparatory stages.
Comparing Moving Estimates from Local NJ Companies
- Make sure you understand the terms and conditions. It is essential that you know what the basic charge unit is. In local moves, it is normally a rate per hour and in long distance moves it is normally a rate per cubic foot or a rate per pound.
- Check for extra fees, such as packing other moving related charges.
Selecting a Reliable NJ Mover
- Check that the mover has actual headquarters and facilities in NJ
- Make sure you are dealing with a reputable company. Ask for references and check if all licenses are valid.
Making Decisions about the Packing Process
- Check for packing prices and options
- Decide whether you want your mover to perform full packing or if you would like to do some of the packing on your own.
- Ask your mover to deliver boxes and materials if you decided to do some of the packing on your own.
Storage Needs
- Make sure that your mover has local storage facilities in your area.
- Check the fixed monthly storage fee.
- Check about prices for moving your goods in and out of storage.
