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.

The team was punctual, professional, and showed exceptional care for both the Brooklyn apartment and the New Jersey home.
