For whom is a part load especially suited?

A shared load is ideal for smaller moves, single-furniture transports or students with few household goods. This option is also worthwhile for long-distance moves over great distances, as the cost saving is particularly noticeable here. If you are flexible on dates, you benefit most from the reduced fixed price.

How much cheaper is a shared load compared with a dedicated transport?

We deliberately do not give a fixed percentage: how much cheaper a shared load is depends on volume, distance and flexibility on dates. Since the travel costs are spread across several jobs, your share falls above all for small quantities on long routes. You will see the exact amount in the fixed-price quote.

Are my belongings insured on a shared load?

Yes. On a shared load , we are liable for your belongings under the rules of the German Commercial Code (HGB), just as with a regular move, limited to €620 per cubic metre of load space (§ 451e HGB). Your belongings are padded, secured and loaded separately from other loads. For particularly valuable items, you can take out additional insurance on request.

How flexible are the dates for a shared load?

Since a shared load depends on existing moving routes, you should allow some flexibility on your preferred date. However, we always try to find a suitable time window for collection and delivery that meets your needs. The earlier you book, the greater the choice of dates.

How long does a shared load take compared with a direct transport?

Because several loads are combined on a shared load , transport can take somewhat longer than with a direct move. This is due to additional intermediate stops for loading and unloading other consignments. You still receive a clearly defined delivery period, so you can plan with confidence.

Can I also book special transports such as pianos on a shared load?

In principle, special transports are also possible as part of a shared load, but they should be discussed with our team in advance. We then check whether there is enough space and suitable securing options for bulky or delicate items such as pianos. This way we make sure that special pieces of furniture are transported safely too.

How is the price for a shared load calculated?

The fixed price for your shared load depends on volume, distance, access at both addresses and the journey your belongings fit into. The basis is your furniture list or a survey. If this information is correct, the agreed price stays the same; if furniture or services are added, we give you the new price before loading.

What happens if my belongings cannot be transported in one go?

In rare cases, your shared load may be carried out in two stages if the capacity of one lorry is not sufficient. In that case we inform you openly and plan the best process together with you. The aim is always a reliable, on-time delivery of all your belongings.

Do you also offer shared loads for long-distance moves abroad?

Yes, our shared load is also available for international long-distance moves within Europe. On long routes in particular, the shared load area is especially worthwhile, as the cost saving is greatest here. Feel free to contact us to check availability for your destination country.

How safe are my belongings alongside other people's loads in the same lorry?

Each consignment gets its own space in the lorry and is secured with straps and blankets so that nothing shifts or gets mixed up. We pad delicate items additionally. We are liable for your belongings under the rules of the German Commercial Code (HGB); it is best to record any visible damage immediately on delivery.

Q: What exactly does a shared load mean when moving?

Understanding the fixed price

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

You find out the price in advance as a fixed price, and we are liable for your belongings under the rules of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

With a shared load, too, we attach great importance to punctuality and transparent communication – you find out early when your belongings will be collected and delivered. Our team coordinates route planning so that waiting times are minimised and delivery windows are kept. For anyone planning a private move, a shared load is an ideal way to cut costs without compromising on safety. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and plan shared loads from here throughout Germany.

MAXIMUM CARE

How our fixed price is worked out

Competence you can feel

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21, Moabit) and calculate the fixed price of a shared load from what we know in advance: volume according to the furniture list or survey, route, floors, carrying distance and any extra services you want. If this information is correct, the price stays the same – even if the journey takes longer than planned. We are liable for your belongings under the rules of the German Commercial Code (HGB). You can see which places have their own pages on our locations page.

Based on the furniture list

The fixed price is based on your list or a survey – the more complete it is, the more reliably the price holds.

Services named

The quote states what is included: carrying, loading, transport, unloading; extras such as assembly are listed separately.

No hourly billing

Unlike hourly billing, you do not pay extra for waiting times or traffic jams, as long as the information about your belongings is correct.

Changes in advance

If there are more belongings than stated, we give you the new price before loading – and not only on the invoice.

PRICE UP FRONT

Completion with a check

At the destination you check with us that everything is complete; only then is the shared load finished as far as we are concerned.

NATIONWIDE SERVICE

Small move, small price

A fixed price for a shared load means the amount is set before booking and does not change if the journey takes longer. It can only change if your information changes – for example more furniture, a different floor or extra services such as assembly or storage.

FAQ

Questions about the fixed price

What the fixed price of a shared load includes, what it is based on and when it can change.

With a shared load, your belongings are transported together with other consignments on a lorry that is already travelling the same route. Several customers share the transport costs, which lowers the price considerably. Your belongings still stay in their own labelled space and are professionally padded and secured.

This is how a part load works

The process of a shared load begins with an accurate record of your belongings – how many boxes, pieces of furniture or special items need to be moved. Based on this information, we plan the best route and check which planned journey matches yours. As soon as a suitable transport is found, you receive a fixed collection and delivery date, which is based on the other loads but always lies within a clearly defined time window.

On collection day, our staff pack and secure your belongings properly before they set off together with other consignments. Each consignment gets its own labelled space in the load area and is secured with blankets and straps so that nothing gets mixed up with other people's items. At the destination, delivery also takes place on schedule, so you enjoy a smooth process despite the shared transport.

Costs and advantages of a shared load

The biggest advantage of a shared load is obvious: considerable cost savings compared with an exclusive removal transport. Because you share the load area and therefore the travel costs with other customers, you usually pay much less than for a dedicated transport – especially attractive for long-distance moves. You also benefit from a fixed price that is clearly communicated in advance and contains no hidden extra costs.

Besides the cost saving, a shared load also scores on environmental friendliness, as fewer journeys with half-empty lorries are needed. This option is ideal for smaller moves, single-furniture transports or students who do not own many household goods. Even with some flexibility on dates required, you benefit from a professional service with liability under the HGB that makes no compromises on safety and quality.

How is the moving price calculated?

The basis is always the volume of your belongings. On top of that come the distance (from €4.10/km), the floor and whether a lift is available. For a smooth process on narrow streets, we recommend a parking restriction zone. We are happy to combine this with furniture assembly or shared load.
