How you prepare for your relocation will have a crucial impact on the success of the moving process. Selecting a reputable moving company is only one aspect of the preparation process. Many people do not realize that there are many other preparation stages, stages that will involve the customer’s active participation. Such stages will involve taking careful inventories and making important decisions about the packing process.
Let’s take a look at some of the preparations for your relocation that will help you to experience a less stressful and more positive relocation experience.
Determining your Relocation Moving Needs
In order to select the right moving company, you will need to better understand your relocation needs. When you know exactly what will be the items you will be taking with you and the items that you will be leaving behind, you will be able to provide moving companies with accurate inventories that will allow them to provide you with accurate prices. The same can be said about packing and packing materials, when you make your packing related decisions early then you will be able to allow your movers to provide you with an exact price for all of the packing needs you will require.
Finding out more about Special Moving Needs and Limitations
Determining your packing needs and your inventory is not enough. You will also need to determine any other special moving needs and limitations that you may have. Such needs include access difficulties, flights of stairs, elevators and elevator hours and restrictions, certificates of insurance, rules and regulations for building managements and closed communities and so on.
Share all the information you gathered with your movers. The more you find out about your special moving needs and limitations in advance, the easier will it be for your mover to provide you with an accurate estimate.

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!
