Moving Tips Provided by Alpha Moving & Storage

When you are considering whether or not you should hire professional movers for your upcoming relocation, you need to take into consideration several things that may make a lot of difference. Many customers make the error of comparing the bottom line price alone – the price of performing the move by yourself compared to hiring professional movers. However, this takes out of the equation important factors such as insurance and possible damages that may end up costing you much, much more.

Preparing for the Move

Self moving requires a lot of preparation time. You will need to organize, pack, and label all the items in your house. This may take hours, days, or weeks. Bottom line, you may end up losing work days and time. Professional movers will easily be able to do what would take you long weeks in a matter of a day or two.

Insurance and Possible Damages

Self moving means self packing, loading, and unloading the truck by yourself. Many times this will lead to breakage and damages or even injuries. Professional movers will be able to safely pack and load all your goods. Professional movers spend years doing their jobs and know exactly what they are doing. Additionally, a professional moving company will be able to offer you full coverage or partial insurance.

Associate Stress with Moving

The stress related to moving is another important factor to consider. Knowing that you have professional movers on board to do all of the moving and packing for you can and will do wonders to take off the stress off your shoulders.

Professional Movers Improve the Overall Experience

To summarize, when you are considering whether you should perform the move by yourself or hire professional movers to do it for you, don’t forget to consider the three important issues we have raised here: the time consuming preparations and packing you will need to do by yourself, the question of insurance and possible damages and last, but not least, the stress related to moving and how using professional movers could help you handle it.

    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!
