Researching the moving industry in general and the relocation companies you are considering, in particular, is crucial for any successful and stress-free move. This new Alpha Moving and Storage blog post will guide you through the process of researching potential relocation service providers for your coming move.

Timing is Everything

Begin your moving preparations early. Start Googling and making phone calls at least six-to-eight weeks in advance. This will allow you enough time for doing careful research work. You should be looking for a local mover – a relocation company in your immediate area that you could actually pay a visit to. Furthermore, in your initial inquiries, check if the mover can send a representative to your house in order to provide you with a written estimate.

The Importance of Getting the Right Estimate

As mentioned above, getting a written, on-location estimate is highly important. Nevertheless, you should check into the record of all movers you are considering, even the ones who send a representative to your house. Don’t make a decision before making sure all licensing information is legitimate and the company is in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.

Price Reduction Options on Your New Jersey Move

The more research you do, the more likely you are to reduce the final cost of your move. A reputable company will not inflate the price on your moving day. Established companies will help you with the packing process, can offer you a box-delivery so you could pack some of the goods on your own, and offer you additional services to help lower moving costs.

    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!
