Moving Estimates and Moving Pricing Systems
It may appear slightly odd, but various moving companies apply different pricing systems/ moving estimates for both local and long distance relocations. Making sure that the moving estimates you receive is clear and easily understood is an absolutely essential element of your relocation, especially if you would like to experience a comfortable and stress free move.
In this post, we’ll review some of the methods you can apply in order to better understand the prices various relocation service providers offer you.
Making sure your Estimate is clear and Understandable
It’s not enough to take a look at the total price of the estimate, it is also very important to understand how the price was calculated and whether or not it is a binding one.
All moving and relocation processes are charged according to a particular charge unit. Some of the ill-reputed movers may attempt to create the illusion of a low price by deliberately providing you with a low estimate of the weight, volume or hours of necessary labor. Therefore, it is important to compare apples to apples and check how the basic charge units various movers offer you compare with one another.
Moving Prices and Reputation
An ill-reputable moving company will always offer you a very low price. Therefore, if a moving estimate sounds too good to be true, don’t be tempted to utilize the services of the company that offers it. Make sure you deal only with well known, reputable relocation service providers that have a physical base of operation if your immediate area. Also, you need to check the license numbers of the service provider in order to make sure that you are dealing with an actual moving company and not with a broker of an index website.

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!
