Furniture transport in four steps – from the call to reassembly

Process and price

Unsere Firma Professional on-site moving solutions with secure planning, flexible services and on-time execution.

The furniture transport always begins with us with a free viewing or telephone consultation, in which we capture the scope and particularities of your moving goods. Afterwards we draw up a transparent fixed price for you, so no hidden costs arise. On moving day, our furniture packers pack your furnishings professionally and secure them for transport. Whether a sofa, wardrobe or piano – we take care of every piece of furniture with the greatest care.

A professional furniture transport not only saves you time, it also protects your furniture from damage caused by improper lifting or carrying. With modern equipment such as transport straps, blankets and dollies, we move even bulky and heavy pieces safely through narrow stairwells. We are liable for damage under the HGB, by law up to €620 per cubic metre of load space; valuables are best transported yourself. We offer this service both for a private move and for commercial moves.

With a furniture list and both addresses

Call us on 01625978461 or send your enquiry online – with a furniture list, the floors and both addresses. After a survey or photos you receive a binding fixed price, so the costs are settled before the first wardrobe is carried.

Quotes available individually based on workload, scheduling and the desired scope of services.

THE PROCESS

Four steps to reassembly

Enquiry, survey, quote, moving day

With us, a furniture transport runs in four steps – from the first call to the reassembled piece of furniture. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and work within the city as well as on long-distance moves. The price is fixed after the survey and applies to the agreed scope; we are liable for damage under the HGB. What you can prepare yourself to save time and money is set out in the six tips below.

1. Enquiry

You tell us the furniture, floors, lift and both addresses. The more precise the list, the more precise the quote.

2. Survey

On site or by photos, we check routes, stairs and parking options – and whether a parking restriction zone is needed.

3. Fixed price

The quote lists staff, vehicle, assembly and materials. The fixed price applies to exactly the agreed scope.

4. Moving day

We dismantle, pad, load, drive and set up the furniture at the destination. Check everything afterwards and report any damage immediately.
CUT COSTS

Six tips for lower costs

These six tips reduce the effort and cost of your furniture transport. You can do most of them yourself in the weeks before the move, without paying extra.

01

Declutter

What does not come along needs no load space. Sell or dispose of furniture before the date, and the volume in the quote goes down.
02

Empty out

Full drawers make furniture heavy and unstable. Empty wardrobes beforehand – it saves time when carrying.
03

Dismantle yourself?

You can take simple shelving apart yourself. For sliding-door wardrobes or kitchens, professional assembly is worthwhile so that nothing breaks.
04

Parking restriction

Short distances to the vehicle save hours. In Berlin the signs go up three full days in advance, and the application takes around four weeks.
05

Date

The end of the month and Saturdays are in demand. If you are flexible, you will find it easier to get your preferred date on a weekday.
06

Tax

20 % of the labour costs, up to €4,000 a year, are deductible as a household-related service (§ 35a EStG) – with an invoice and bank transfer.
PART LOAD

Only a few pieces? Share the load space

Save on smaller loads
A shared load is worthwhile when only part of the load space is needed – for a sofa, a wardrobe or a few boxes, for example. Your furniture travels with other orders on the same route. We agree a time window for collection and delivery; dismantling, reassembly or a parking restriction zone appear as separate items in the quote if needed.

Questions about process and costs

What a furniture transport costs, how long it takes and what you need to prepare.
The costs of a furniture transport depend on the distance, the quantity of furniture and the desired additional services such as assembly or packing. At Beste Umzug Unternehmen you always receive a transparent fixed price without hidden costs. That way you can plan your budget securely. Contact us by phone on 01625978461 for an individual and no-obligation quote.

Costs of furniture transport at a glance

The cost of a furniture transport depends on various factors, such as the distance, the volume of the goods and any additional services like assembly or packing. With us you always receive a transparent fixed price that covers all services in advance. That way you know exactly what costs to expect before the move begins.

Hard-to-reach flats, narrow stairwells or a high floor without a lift increase the effort – which is why we look at them before giving a quote. For longer distances, for example as part of a long-distance move, we calculate the costs fairly based on the actual route. Simply request an individual quote to get exact figures for your furniture transport.

Practical tips for a stress-free furniture transport

Before the furniture transport, it is worth disassembling furniture as far as possible, in order to save space and ease the transport routes. Also clear all drawers and compartments, so your pieces of furniture can be transported more easily and safely. Mark fragile parts clearly, so our team handles them especially carefully.

Plan in enough time for loading and unloading too, especially when parking spaces near the flat are scarce. Inform us early about particularities such as pianos, aquariums or antiques, so we can provide the suitable equipment. With these simple tips, your furniture transport will proceed smoothly and stress-free.

What does the price of my move depend on?

First, the volume counts – the more household goods, the higher the costs. The distance is charged from €4.15/km. A floor without a lift and a required parking restriction zone also increase the effort. Furniture assembly and a shared load are also worth considering as additional services.
