Proper organization of your moving schedule can actually help you to lower your moving costs. By starting your preparations early and allowing yourself enough time to work with your movers, you can do some of the packing yourself, reexamine you’re your inventory and get rid of some unnecessary furniture and perform other actions that will save you both time and money on the day of the move.

Preparing for your Move and Cutting down Moving Costs

Reexamining your Inventory 

Sorting out your inventory and getting rid of some unnecessary items can help you to considerably decrease costs. Especially for long distance moves in which charges are based on either weight or space, trimming your inventory and getting rid of certain bulky and unnecessary items may be a wise decision. In order to do that, you will need to create an organized inventory list in advance. You are more than welcome to consult with your Alpha Moving and Storage sales representative regarding inventory lists and decreasing your inventory.

Preparing Information and Getting your House Ready

Make sure you have a written list of all the little details that can make a lot of difference on the day of the move. Write down information about access to both pick up and destination locations, building management restrictions, certificates of insurance and so forth.

Also, organize all things that are to be taken, pack everything you would like to pack yourself in advance and make it as easy as possible for the movers to access your furniture and take them to the truck as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

    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.
