Finding a local mover is an essential aspect of your relocations’ success. Even though some service providers will play down the importance of locality, if you are a New Jersey resident, selecting a mover whose headquarters are not located in NJ may bring about unwanted “complications.”

This new Alpha Moving and Storage blog article demonstrates the importance of selecting a local New Jersey company and how going local can actually save you money.   

What is Local Anyway?

So what is local? Should the mover be located in the same town, the same state? Ideally, the company you are considering should be located in the same city, or one of the neighboring ones, especially if you are contemplating a local move. Try to focus on companies within a twenty-mile radius of your location.

Local Estimates

A local NJ mover will be able to send an estimator to your house and provide you with an on-location written quote. He or she will be able to visually inspect all the items you need to move and estimate the packing services necessary.

Local Storage Facilities and Packing Services

If you require storage services, selecting a local mover will allow you to pay a visit to the actual storage units and facilities. It is highly important for you to make sure your goods will be stored in proper conditions that will ensure their safe delivery.

A local company will be able to help you by delivering some packing materials to your house prior to the move, allowing you to do some of the packing yourself and lower the actual final cost.

    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!

We moved from one high-rise to another, which required coordinating elevator reservations and meeting tight deadlines, … More and they handled everything seamlessly. They were both friendly and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend working with them, and if we ever move again, I will 100% choose them.
