How exactly does a furniture transport work?

First we record all the furniture to be transported and any special circumstances such as stairs or the parking situation. We then take care of dismantling, safe packing and transport in specially equipped vehicles. At the destination the furniture is reassembled as you wish – professionally, quickly and with no extra effort for you.

Is my furniture transport insured?

The moving company is liable for your household goods under the HGB, by law up to €620 per cubic metre of load space (§ 451e). Report damage immediately, at the latest the day after delivery, and hidden damage within 14 days. For valuable items additional insurance is available on request; take jewellery and documents with you yourself.

Can individual pieces of furniture be transported?

Of course – we handle complete moves as well as the transport of individual pieces of furniture such as sofas, wardrobes or beds. For smaller jobs in particular, a shared load is often worthwhile, where your transport is combined with others. This saves costs and is more environmentally friendly.

How much time should I plan for a furniture transport?

The duration depends on the amount of furniture, the distance and the local conditions. A smaller furniture transport is often done within a few hours, while larger transports can take a whole day. We draw up a realistic schedule for you in advance.

Do you also take over the disassembly and assembly of the furniture?

Yes, professional dismantling and assembly are part of our standard scope of services for a furniture transport . Our team dismantles your furniture safely, transports it and reassembles it properly at the new location. This saves you time and avoids damage.

What is a part load and when is it worth it?

With a shared load , your furniture transport is combined with other transports heading in the same direction. This lowers the costs considerably and is particularly sensible for smaller amounts of furniture or single items. We are happy to check whether a shared load is an option for your transport.

How do I protect delicate furniture during transport?

We use high-quality moving blankets, stretch film and special padding materials to protect delicate furniture as well as possible. We also secure all items with tension straps in the vehicle to prevent them from slipping during the journey. That way your furniture arrives at its destination undamaged.

Do you also offer furniture transport for long-distance moves?

Yes, we also handle furniture transports as part of long-distance moves to other cities or federal states. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21); we set the delivery date or time window and the route including the driver's rest periods in the quote in advance.

Can I book a furniture transport at short notice?

Short-notice dates are possible if staff and a vehicle are available. If a parking restriction zone is needed, time gets tight, because processing takes around four weeks in Berlin. Call us and we will check availability; more on this under short-notice move .

What happens with bulky or heavy furniture such as pianos?

For heavy or bulky furniture such as pianos, wardrobes or sofas we use special lifting equipment and additional carriers. We move a piano as a separate piano transport with suitable equipment so that walls, stairs and the instrument stay intact.

How does furniture transport differ from a complete private move?

A furniture transport usually refers to one or more pieces of furniture, while a private move covers the entire household. We offer both services at a transparent fixed price and adapt the scope flexibly to your individual needs.

BRIEFLY EXPLAINED

Four terms from the quote

What the quote says

The same terms keep coming up in quotes for a furniture transport: fixed price, shared load, parking restriction zone and liability under the HGB. If you know them, you can compare quotes from different companies more easily and quickly see which services are missing or charged only as extras. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and are happy to explain anything in the quote that is unclear – before booking, not afterwards. The four most important terms in brief:

Fixed price

A fixed price applies to the agreed scope. If furniture is added, it may change – which is why the list matters.

Shared load

Your furniture travels on a lorry together with other orders. This is cheaper, but a time window applies instead of a fixed date.

Parking restriction zone

A reserved space in front of the building, applied for at the authority. In Berlin the signs must be up three full days in advance.

Liability under the German Commercial Code (HGB)

The moving company's statutory liability, up to €620 per cubic metre of load space. More protection is only available with additional insurance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Six answers in one sentence

Six questions that are asked before many furniture transports – each answered here in one sentence. More detail follows in the questions further down, and we are happy to answer your own question by phone.

Just one item?

Yes, even a single sofa or wardrobe is transported – in Berlin as a separate trip, over long distances often as a shared load.

Help out yourself?

You do not have to; if you want to help carry, say so beforehand, because it changes the number of movers and the price.

On a Saturday?

A transport is also possible on Saturdays; whether a surcharge applies is stated in advance in the quote – ask about it specifically.

Boxes and materials?

We bring boxes, tape and padding material on request; what of it is included in the fixed price is stated in the quote.

A piano?

A piano needs special equipment and more movers – that is why piano transport is a separate service.

Save on tax?

The labour costs of a private move reduce your tax by 20 %, up to €4,000 a year (§ 35a EStG); pay by bank transfer.

SHARED CARGO SPACE

Single items? Share the lorry

Small move, small price

With a shared load we transport individual pieces of furniture, appliances or boxes together with other orders on the same route. You pay for the load space your things need. We agree collection and delivery within a time window instead of on a fixed day; you can add dismantling, reassembly and a parking restriction zone if needed.

EUROPE-WIDE MOVES

Your
move, our craft

Methodical and reliable

A furniture transport is often part of larger moving projects, such as a classic private move or a demanding long-distance move to another city. We are also your reliable partner for partial moves, furniture transport for a room in a shared flat or the delivery of new furniture. We look at tricky situations such as tight bends in the stairs or high floors without a lift during the survey and plan straps, a furniture lift or additional movers. That way you benefit from a well-thought-out overall plan, regardless of the size of your project.

Planning safe and relaxed

A good checklist coordinates dates, helpers and materials early. That way your home move, senior move or student move in Berlin stays transparent, structured and markedly easier to control.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

With a suitable packing service, careful furniture transport and a flexible small transport, ways can be shortened, damage avoided and even narrow approaches in Berlin managed cleanly in logistical terms.

Costs, timing and special cases

Clear time windows and suitable solutions for an office move, company move, authority move, part load or furniture taxi create reliable processes and better plannable total costs in Berlin.
