Can I have the move carried out at the weekend?

Yes, Saturdays can be scheduled with us – often the best solution for working people so as not to interrupt their working routine. Because many choose this day, you should book early. As a rule, we do not move on Sundays and public holidays.

Is a move during the week possible at all?

Yes – during the week dates are often more readily available. For individual partial services such as dismantling or collection, you do not have to be there yourself if a trusted person opens the door. That way your working day stays free for your work commitments, and only the actual move needs you to be present.

How can I deduct moving costs from my taxes?

For a job-related move , for example because of a change of job or if your daily commute is shortened by at least one hour, transport, packing material and estate agent fees for a rented flat can count as income-related expenses (Werbungskosten). For a private move, 20% of the labour costs are deductible under § 35a EStG – including for booked partial services. Pay by bank transfer and keep the invoice.

What happens to my home office equipment during the move?

We pack and transport monitors, printers and desks carefully; your belongings are covered under the HGB. It is best to take your laptop and storage media with you yourself. On request we take care of dismantling and assembling your office furniture as a separate partial service – you then connect the cables yourself.

How long does a long-distance move take for commuters?

The duration of a long-distance move depends on the distance and scope, usually one to three days. If you pack yourself and only book transport and assembly, our job gets shorter. We coordinate the schedule so that you are on site in time for the start of your new job.

Can I book partial services only if I have little time?

Yes, our offer is flexible – from transport only to a complete service with packing, dismantling and assembly. Working people often book individual building blocks such as packing the kitchen or dismantling and reassembling wardrobes. Each service is listed separately in the quote, so it is clear what we take on.

How do I inform my employer of the change of address?

A short written notice to the HR department is usually enough, ideally with the date of your re-registration . Do this soon after the move so that payroll and documents are delivered correctly. The tax office usually receives the new address via the registration data.

What to do with a short-notice job change and a move at the same time?

If you have little lead time, get in touch as early as possible so that we can check available capacity. Partial services help here: if you pack yourself and we only take care of transport and assembly, a date is easier to find. Simply call 01625978461 to arrange a prompt date.

How does a part load work for working people?

With a part load , you share the cargo space with other orders on a similar route. This lowers the costs and suits small households or single pieces of furniture. You pack yourself, we transport – you can add dismantling or assembly as a partial service.

Can the move also take place after working hours?

Smaller partial services – such as collecting individual pieces of furniture – can also be scheduled for the late afternoon by arrangement, provided the parking situation and house rules allow it. For moving a whole flat, a daytime date or a Saturday is more realistic. Mention your wishes at the survey.

Which documents do I need to register at my new place of residence?

You need your identity card or passport and the landlord confirmation ( Wohnungsgeberbestätigung ) – the tenancy agreement does not replace it. Registration must take place within two weeks of moving in (§ 17 BMG); in Berlin this is also possible online with BundID and the online ID function. We are based in Berlin – destinations with their own page can be found under our locations .

HAND OVER SELECTIVELY

Guide for working people · Part 5

Not all or nothing: handing over parts of the move selectively

Building blocks instead of a full package

Unsere Firma Partial services for working people: have the kitchen packed, the furniture dismantled and reassembled, the parking restriction applied for – and do the rest yourself.

If you work full time, you do not have to choose between "do everything yourself" and "hand everything over". An honest list makes more sense: which tasks cost you the most evenings? Usually it is the kitchen, dismantling large wardrobes and the trip to the authorities for the parking restriction. You can book exactly these parts individually, while you pack books, clothes and personal items into boxes yourself. That way the stress of moving stays manageable.

A moving company then only takes on what really relieves you – and you only pay for that. Using our private move services, you put together the scope; we give you the fixed price after the survey for exactly these services. If something changes, we adjust the date by arrangement. Your belongings are covered under the German Commercial Code (HGB).

YOUR SCOPE, YOUR PRICE

How we plan partial services for working people

Bookable individually, clearly defined

During the survey we go through room by room and decide who takes on what. Every booked service is listed separately in the quote – packing the kitchen, dismantling the wardrobe, no-parking zone, transport. That way there are no misunderstandings on moving day, and the fixed price stays easy to follow. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and operate nationwide; destinations with their own page can be found under locations.

Packing the kitchen

Crockery, glasses and food supplies take up the most evenings – working people especially often book this part of the packing service on its own.

Dismantling and assembly

We dismantle the wardrobe, bed and desk and reassemble them at the new address – you need neither tools nor a free evening for it.

No-parking zone

On request we apply for the zone at the authority; in Berlin the signs must be in place at least 72 hours beforehand – one trip to the authorities fewer.

House clearance

Whatever is not coming along, we collect beforehand – then you pack fewer boxes and the furniture transport gets smaller.

DO IT YOURSELF OR HAND IT OVER?

Six tasks that are easy to hand over

Which partial services are worthwhile depends on what costs you the most time. Experience shows that working people most like to hand over these six tasks – many pack the rest into boxes themselves.

Kitchen and glass

Padding fragile items properly takes time – if we pack the kitchen, we are also liable for the packing, and your evenings stay free for your job.

Large furniture

Dismantling and reassembling wardrobes with dozens of screws is work for a whole Saturday – with professionals it usually takes much less time on moving day.

Parking zone

Application, signs, deadline: in Berlin the zone is applied for at the district office, about 2–4 weeks ahead – on request we take care of this for you along with the move.

Lamps and technology

Taking down lamps, packing televisions and monitors safely: if you lack routine here, hand this part over and only set up your own workspace yourself.

Cellar and loft

Whatever has been in the cellar for years needs sorting or disposing of – a house clearance before the move saves space in the lorry.

Keep it yourself

It is better to pack documents, laptop, jewellery and medication yourself and transport them in your own car – that saves money and protects your data.

FEW BELONGINGS

Part load: the smallest partial service

Small move, small price

If only a few pieces of furniture are moving – for example to a second home near your new workplace – a part load is often enough: your belongings travel along with other orders. Pack yourself and only book the transport; you can add dismantling and assembly if needed.

TOPICS AT A GLANCE

Which
partial service suits which move

Well planned and reliable

The fifth part of our series is about partial services: instead of doing everything yourself or handing everything over, working people book precisely the tasks that cost the most evenings – packing the kitchen, dismantling and reassembling furniture, the parking restriction, house clearance. For a long-distance move because of a new job, transport alone or a part load is often an option. That way scope and price match your time budget.

Packing by room

For a private move usually only the kitchen is worthwhile, for a senior move often all the packing, for a student move transport is enough – decide room by room.

Furniture and technology

A packing service only for fragile items, furniture transport with dismantling and assembly, small transport for individual items: every building block can be booked individually.

Small jobs

Parts can also be handed over for an office move, company move or public authority move; for single items, a part load or a furniture taxi fits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions on partial services for working people

Answers on individually bookable services, weekday dates, tax, home office technology and re-registration.

If a moving company takes care of transport and assembly, a bridge day combined with a weekend is often enough. You do preparations such as packing boxes in the weeks before – or you hand over exactly this work as a partial service. That way you save days of leave and stress on moving day.

A time audit: what costs you how many evenings?

Before you book partial services, an honest estimate is worthwhile: how many evenings do you need for the kitchen, wardrobe, books, cellar and dismantling the furniture? Do preparations such as labelling boxes or sorting things out weeks ahead in small stages – and mark the tasks you will not manage.

These marked tasks are your partial services. If moving day falls on a Friday bridge day or a Saturday, and our team takes care of transport and assembly, you are ready for work again on the next working day – without emptying your leave allowance.

Combining partial services: kitchen, furniture, parking zone

Not every move needs the full package. Many working people book partial services selectively: packing the kitchen, dismantling the large wardrobes and the no-parking zone – they pack clothes and books themselves. How the application for the zone works is explained in the article Applying for a no-parking zone.

What matters is a clear definition in the quote: what is booked, what do you do? Then the move stays plannable and under control, and the fixed price after the survey applies to exactly this scope.

Moving costs – the key facts

So that you can plan your move as well as possible, here are the key figures: for a 1-room flat prices start at €354, for 2 rooms at €599. A 3-room flat costs from €899, a 4-room flat from €1,309. For larger properties such as a house or villa we prepare a tailor-made, individual quote. For long-distance moves a price per kilometre from €3.80 applies. Take advantage of our free survey to receive a binding price.

Which building blocks change the price

Besides the pure volume of your household goods, the distance between the old and new home plays a major role – we calculate from €3.80/km. A floor without a lift also increases the effort. For a smooth process we also recommend a no-parking zone (Halteverbotszone). Services such as furniture assembly or a part load round off the offer.
