You’ve already collected several estimates from relocation companies. Now comes the time to make your selection and reserve your long distance mover. But comparing the prices, terms and conditions may prove to be extremely confusing. This Alpha Moving and Storage article demonstrates how to compare long distance moving and storage companies in order to make better and more educated decisions.

Selecting Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies

Selecting Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies-What you should Compare

The three main things you should compare when considering various service providers are location, reputation and price. First of all, you want to make sure the company you are considering is familiar with your area and has a lot of experience in handling similar moves. Then you want to make sure that the price is within your budges. Double check for so called “hidden fees” to avoid uncomfortable surprises on the moving day. Last, but definitely not least, you want to check the reputation of your long distance moving and relocation company. Use the Better Business Bureau and the federal motor carrier safety administration website and check for ratings and complaints.

Selecting Long Distance Moving and Storage Companies- How you should Decide

Before making your final decision, write down a list of all the moving companies you are considering. Write the advantages of each company – which of them has the best price, the best reputation, the most experience and so forth. Once you finish writing your list take your time to compare. Don’t think only about the final price. Sometimes, a company which is slightly more expensive could offer you a much better, easier moving experience. If you are unsure about some of the details and pricing information, be sure to contact your personal relocation consultant and ask for explanations. Our Alpha Moving and Storage relocation experts will be happy to answer any question you might have.

    The Alpha Moving team was professional, efficient, and handled my belongings with great care. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and made the entire … More moving process stress-free.

    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!

    The team was awesome to work with! 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.
