Defining your relocation needs and understanding the processes that you need to undergo will play a crucial part in the success of your move.
All relocation will require the same set of preparations that will include inventorying and deciding what to take with you, packing and actual moving.
That being said, there are many possible variations for each of the preparation steps. This is where your individual needs come into play.
Let’s discuss the possible variations for each of the moving preparation stages.
Inventorying and deciding what to take with you
This stage may possibly have the most impact. We recommend that you deal with the inventory issues even before you contact a moving company.
The first thing to do is to go room by room and mark down all the items that will go with you. If you are unsure about specific items, mark them in your inventory list to get possible pricing variations with or without them.
You can also mark down items that will require packing. This will help you in the next stage which involves packing.
Packing Related Decisions
When you have an organized list which contains all items that require packing, it will be easier for you to decide whether you want to pack yourself or whether you would prefer the mover to do that for you.
The Actual Relocation Process
Once you have a clear idea about your inventory and packing needs, it will be much easier to select a relocation service.
Your best bet is to contact three leading New Jersey Moving companies to get estimates. Be sure to check and double check the companies’ license numbers and reputation before you contact them.
All estimates that you receive must be in writing and detail all possible surcharges and fees, such as packing, long carry and documentations.

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!
