Moving and Relocation
As we have often pointed out in this blog, the more time you take to familiarize yourself with the way moving and relocation, and the moving industry works, the better will your relocation experience be. Educating yourself about prices, procedures, reputation and other aspects of the moving industry can and will make all the difference.
Let’s take a look, one more time at some of the aspects of the moving and relocation world that you will need to familiarize yourself with in order to experience a successful move.
Moving Companies, Reputation Estimates and Locations
Finding the right moving company for your needs will require you to compare the services they offer in the right way. You will need to check the reputation of the movers, by using websites such as the Better Business Bureau and the federal motor carrier safety administration.
You will also need to make sure that you are dealing with an actual mover with a headquarters and a storage facility in your area.
Fees and Charges
It goes without saying that researching the way moving and relocation companies charge for the move is important. You will need to make sure that you understand the terms the mover uses and that the estimate is crystal clear.
A good estimate should detail the basic charge unit and include all possible fees and surcharges. Ask your mover if all the possible additional fees, such as packing and access fees are mentioned in the written estimate.
Again, make sure that everything is clear and that you understand the terms and conditions. Don’t hesitate and ask your relocation consultant for clarifications and ask as many questions as you need until you understand how all fees are applied.

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!
