We’ve all heard horror stories about moving prices being inflated on the day of the move. Receiving an accurate estimate is something every moving customer is obviously interested in. But how can you make sure your quote will remain the same on the moving date? This is the question this new Alpha Moving and Storage article attempts to answer. 

Understanding Your Moving Quotes From Local New Jersey Movers

Many people make the mistake of looking only at the bottom line price without checking the basic charge units, reading the fine print or comparing the extra fees. But the first step, even before comparing the rates, should be to compare the reputation and experience of the moving companies you are considering. Ask for license numbers, references and Better Business Bureau details.

Comparing Your Moving Quotes From Local New Jersey Movers

Once you’ve determined the reputation of the moving companies you are considering, it is time to receive and compare the moving quotes. Ask up to four relocation companies to send an agent to your house and provide you with a written quote. Show the on-site estimator all the items you are considering moving. Also, talk about your packing needs and ask the estimator to approximate the number of boxes to be packed in each room.

Selecting the Best Moving Quote From New Jersey Movers

Now you are ready to make your selection. Take a look at all the written estimates you have gathered. Compare the charge units per pound or per cubic foot as well as the charges for packing and packing materials. In order for the price to remain the same on the day of the move, be sure to call your relocation consultant and report any inventory changes, the purchase of new furniture and changes with your packing plans.

    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!
