FAQ
Frequently asked questions to our moving company.
Yes, we offer free, no-obligation home viewings to accurately assess the scope of your relocation and provide a precise quote based on this. These viewings usually last between 15 and 20 minutes and can be arranged from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 18:00. For those who prefer a flexible alternative, we also offer the option of sending us videos or pictures via WhatsApp or email, based on which we can also provide a quote. To arrange a viewing or for more information, please contact us by phone or via the inquiry form on our website.
We offer packing materials for all types of items, including moving and clothing boxes, packaging for fragile items and protective materials such as cushioning material, bubble wrap and stretch film. These materials are available for purchase or hire, depending on your needs.
Advantages of renting:
Convenience of returning after use, saves space and promotes environmental protection.
The materials are used but in good condition. Advantages of buying:
Brand new materials and suitable for reuse at your own discretion. We offer a full service including delivery and collection of packaging materials. Return of unused materials is possible on moving day, with appropriate credit. Visit our removals store (LINK) for more information and to select suitable packing materials.
All furniture is thoroughly wrapped in stretch film and, if necessary, additionally covered with woolen blankets. These measures serve not only to protect your items from damage during transportation and in the van, but also from dirt. We also use additional padding material for particularly sensitive or valuable items. To further increase safety and prevent items from slipping during the journey, we also secure the items in the van with lashing straps to prevent them from rubbing against each other.
Ideally, plan your relocation 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure the availability and organization of the necessary resources. Depending on our capacities, we also offer short-term removals at no extra charge to meet urgent needs.
The price for your relocation is based on the scope of the relocation, the distance between the locations, the parking distance to the building entrance, the floor, the availability of elevators and the required working time. Additional services such as a furniture lift or packing materials can also affect the total price.
The quotation process begins with your request via our web form, where building information and contact details are required. Upon receipt, we will contact you for a personal or digital inspection. Based on this, we will prepare a quote. Changes or additional requests are possible, but early notification is important for smooth planning.
The disassembly and assembly of your furniture is included in our moving service at no extra cost. These services are already included in the hourly price of our moving service. Billing is transparent and based on the actual time spent. Our qualified assembly staff, who are part of every moving team, guarantee that all assembly work is carried out professionally and carefully in accordance with your requirements.
Cancellations or postponements may be subject to a charge depending on the time of the change and the preparations already made. As a rule, however, we accept order cancellations in a customer-oriented manner and at no cost.
In the event of damage during the relocation, your goods are insured with cover of up to CHF 100,000 per moving van and public liability insurance of CHF 5 million. This offers protection against damage to your goods or persons. Damage should be reported immediately after delivery and submitted to us in writing within three days. As a rule, our removal staff will record the damage themselves and take down all the important information for the claims settlement. Depending on the situation, we will then organize either the repair of the damaged item or compensation at the current value.
For detailed information on our insurance conditions and how to proceed in the event of a claim, please contact us directly or consult our General Terms and Conditions (GTC).
We accept payments by credit card, debit card, TWINT and cash. The conditions are defined in the contract, whereby advance payment and payment by invoice are possible on request. Payment is usually made directly after completion of the order and is processed by the team leader against receipt.
