Welcome back to the Alpha Moving and Storage ‘Essential facts you simply must know about moving’ series of blog posts. This time, we’ll take a look at some important facts concerning the selection of a local moving company.
Why is it Important to Utilize the Services of a Local Mover?
While searching the internet for moving services, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between local movers in your area, large movers with several bases, brokers and index websites.
Why is it important to do some research and be able to tell the difference?
A local company will be familiar with the area of the required pick up. It will be able to send a representative to your house and provide you with an accurate estimate.
Local movers will also be able to set up an exact time for the pickup. You may also pay a visit to the local company’s headquarters and storage facilities and sign any potential deal on location.
Why is it Important to tell the Difference between Actual Local Movers and other Service Providers?
Some of the web results you will receive will be for brokers and index websites. Brokers are services that will provide you with an estimate, schedule a pick up and then transfer your details and the move itself to a different moving company.
Index websites simply take some basic information, such as move size, name and phone number, and transfer it to several relocation services.
Obviously, using a local, reputable moving company is always a much better option than utilizing the services of brokers of unfamiliar non-local companies.

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!
