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.

    My experience using Alpha Moving and Storage was excellent. The crew was courteous and professional. They took their time to ensure that everything was … More covered and packaged before the move so there was no damage. They made sure everything was positioned correctly in our house, and even helped to move a few pieces of furniture that were not part of the original move. I would highly recommend

    I recently hired Alpha Moving to help a family member move from a 3rd-floor walk-up in Brooklyn to New Jersey, and I couldn't be more impressed with … More their service. The team was punctual, professional, and showed exceptional care for both the Brooklyn apartment and the New Jersey home. They took extra precautions to protect the walls and floors, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent before, during, and after the move, making the entire process much less stressful. I highly recommend Alpha Moving to both family and clients—they’re reliable, professional, and offer very reasonable pricing..
