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.
