Let's not kid ourselves, for most people, moving is a very stressful affair associated with chaos, concern about their belongings, and whether everything has been packed. But with our tips, you can handle it with ease! Let's take a look at how to prepare for a move and not go crazy in the process.
1. Create a clear plan
If you're not just moving a few personal items from one apartment to another, we recommend creating a clear plan. Make it clear what you want to move and also where everything will go in your new home. This will significantly facilitate not only your work but also ours when carrying your belongings around the house.
If you've wanted to get rid of old things and start fresh in your new apartment, now is the perfect time! Say goodbye to old furniture from relatives, unsuitable gifts, and century-old dust collectors. Your moving checklist should only include items you really want to keep. Say goodbye to the rest.
If you're unsure how to dispose of them, we'll be happy to help. We can arrange the disposal of old furniture or the removal of waste to a recycling center. Moving with us is simply comprehensive..
2. Packing is the key to success
Plastic bags, cardboard boxes, or plastic bags can be more of a hindrance than a helpful tool during a move. They usually lack quality and certainly won't hold everything you decide to put in them. They tear along the way, are difficult to carry, and can dirty the items inside. Don't hesitate to ask us for professional packaging materials, that will allow you to pack everything that comes your way.
If you don't want to worry about anything, just let us know. We will professionally pack all your belongings to ensure they don't get damaged or dirty during the journey..
3. Necessary paperwork
Moving is not just about moving things from one place to another. It often involves additional obligations that need to be taken care of. One of them is, for example, arranging time off from work, because the move will take at least a whole day.
-> Moving to a new apartment or house also entails other administrative tasks. Don't forget to to change your permanent residence, cancel the electricity at your current location (if no one else is moving in), change your mailing address, and register at the office in the new city.

4. Make space for us
Moving is a logistically challenging matter, and it often isn't enough to simply park a delivery van somewhere on the sidewalk. The services of a freight vehicle are needed, especially when moving heavy loads or machinery, Therefore, it is necessary to ensure enough space for parking the moving truck and handling the load not only at the loading location but also at the unloading location. Ideally, inform your neighbors about the move so they know it will be busy that day and coordinate with them so that they don't also carry anything big at the same time.
5. Leave everything else to us
Once you have a clear plan, have ensured enough space, and packed your belongings, you can leave everything else to us. We will carefully load, transport, and unload your belongings at the designated location. You don't have to worry about anything, and you can simply oversee everything from a distance.
