Undoubtedly, packing is one of the most important aspects of any move. It doesn’t matter whether you are about to conduct a local or a long distance move, unless your goods are properly packed, there’s a good chance you might incur damages.
This Alpha Moving and Storage post offers some essential information about packing, packing materials and packing charges.
Packing Materials Available for your Use
Almost all moving companies offer free blankets for wrapping and protecting wooden furniture and non-breakables. The blankets are wrapped around the items, then taped from the outside to that the item will be hermetically sealed.
Movers can offer you various sizes and types of boxes. There are book boxes, for packing books and files, dish boxes, for packing dishes, glasses and kitchenware, mattress boxes for packing mattresses, electronic and television boxes and wardrobe boxes for packing coats, jackets and dresses.
Bubble wrap is used to cover glass items and electronic equipment before they are placed in their boxes. White paper is used to cover glasses, plates and fragile kitchenware. Cardboard crates are created by the movers for odd-sized breakable items.
Charges for Packing
Packing charges can be determined in advance when an on-sight estimator arrives to your house, or calculated on the moving day according to actual usage. It is recommended to decide in advance whether you would like to do some or all of the packing by yourself. If you need full packing services, it is recommended to inform the mover in advance. A supply of packing materials is always available on the Alpha Moving and Storage trucks for last minute packing.

The Alpha Moving team was professional, efficient, and handled my belongings with great care. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and made the entire … More moving process stress-free. Everything arrived in its original condition, and the pricing was fair with no hidden fees. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable moving service! -
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!
