Moving Relocation Tips Provided by Alpha Moving & Storage

When you are about to perform a move, it is important to view the entire relocation as a process, one that requires careful research and planning.

Starting your preparations at the right time, researching your potential movers, and understanding your rights and responsibilities, are all important elements of this process.

Planning your Moving Schedule

It’s important to begin your preparations early, create inventory and packing lists, and contact potential movers to request estimates.

It is recommended that you will have a definite moving plan, understand your packing and storage needs, and already have an inventory of the goods you would like to take with you, before you contact your potential movers. This will give you the ability to provide accurate information to your movers and in turn receive more accurate estimates.

Researching and Understanding your Rights and Responsibilities

There are a lot of moving companies out there, some of them reputable, while others may look to lure you in with low estimates that result in inflated prices on the moving date.

Researching the reputation, location, and experience of your potential movers is a must, if you would like to experience a successful move. When you are researching potential movers, make sure you are dealing with an actual relocation specialist with a local headquarter in your area. Ask for licensing information and check the numbers to make sure that the mover is actually registered.

When you receive your estimate, make sure that you understand it completely and read the fine print which involves additional fees and surcharges.

Don’t hesitate to ask your relocation specialist about anything you do not understand. Make sure that you understand what you yourself need to do, as far as packing, preparing and arranging your items for the move.

    I recently hired Alpha Moving to help a family member move from a 3rd-floor walk-up in Brooklyn to New Jersey, and I couldn't be more impressed with … More their service. The team was punctual, professional, and showed exceptional care for both the Brooklyn apartment and the New Jersey home. They took extra precautions to protect the walls and floors, which we really appreciated.
