Are wardrobe boxes included in the fixed price from Beste Umzug Unternehmen?

That depends on the quote: when you enquire, tell us how many clothes should move hanging up, and we will list the wardrobe boxes in the quote – either included in the fixed price or as a separate item. Our movers bring the boxes with them and, on request, also pack and unpack your clothes.

How many wardrobe boxes do I need for my move?

The number of wardrobe boxes you need depends on the size of your wardrobe. As a guide, it helps to measure the clothes rail in your wardrobe and compare it with the rail width of the box. During a free consultation about your move , we work out the exact requirement with you so that all garments can be packed safely.

Can I also use wardrobe boxes for a long-distance move?

Yes, our wardrobe boxes are particularly suitable for a long-distance move , as their sturdy construction easily withstands longer transport distances. Your clothes stay crease-free and protected, no matter how far the move takes you.

What is the maximum weight a wardrobe box can hold?

How much a wardrobe box can hold depends on the model – check the manufacturer's information and spread heavy coats over several boxes instead. It is important to hang the clothes loosely so that nothing gets crushed. Our team is happy to advise you on the best way to load them during your move .

What happens to shoes and accessories during the move?

Shoes and accessories are not transported in wardrobe boxes but packed separately in sturdy boxes. That way we avoid damaging the delicate garments. On request, our movers also take care of this packing as part of your private move .

Are the wardrobe boxes collected again after the move?

Whether and when we collect borrowed wardrobe boxes again after the move is stated in your fixed-price quote. That way you do not have to worry about disposing of or storing the packing material.

Are my clothes covered during transport in wardrobe boxes?

"Beste Umzug Unternehmen" is liable for your household goods, including clothes in wardrobe boxes , under the German Commercial Code (HGB) – limited to €620 per cubic metre of loading space (§ 451e HGB). It is better to take very valuable items such as furs or designer fashion with you yourself, or to discuss additional insurance in advance.

Are wardrobe boxes also suitable for delicate fabrics such as silk?

Yes, wardrobe boxes are ideal for delicate fabrics such as silk or cashmere, as the clothes are transported hanging up and so no pressure marks form. For extra protection, we recommend wrapping delicate items in garment bags before hanging them in the box.

Can I also use wardrobe boxes for storage?

For a short time, for example during a stopover in the course of the move , yes. However, cardboard only protects against dust, not moisture: store the boxes somewhere dry and not directly on a cold floor. For longer periods, our storage service is a good option.

What does a move with wardrobe boxes cost at Beste Umzug Unternehmen?

The cost of your move including wardrobe boxes depends on the volume and the distance. Thanks to our fixed-price model, however, you receive a transparent quote in advance with no hidden costs. Contact us on 01625978461 for an individual quote.

Wardrobe boxes: transporting clothes hanging up

Arrive crease-free

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

A wardrobe box is a tall moving box made of sturdy corrugated cardboard with a crossbar on which you hang your clothes directly on their hangers. That way suits, dresses and coats do not have to be folded and arrive after the move without creases – at the destination you simply hang them back in the wardrobe. It is important not to overfill the box and to put only clothes in it: shoes, belts and bags belong in separate boxes. Wardrobe boxes are suitable for a private move as well as for shops or practices with lots of workwear.

At "Beste Umzug Unternehmen" you can request wardrobe boxes together with your move; whether they are included in the fixed price is stated in the quote. On request, our movers pack your wardrobe and unpack it again at the destination – this is part of our packing service. That way your clothes are back in the wardrobe on the very first evening.

MAXIMUM CARE

What protects clothes during a move

Hang, pad, keep dry

When transporting clothes, most problems are caused by pressure, moisture and overfilled boxes. Hanging in wardrobe boxes, suits and dresses stay smooth, whereas folded in ordinary boxes they get creases. We stand the boxes upright in the lorry, stack nothing heavy on top and carry them into the new flat first so that they do not stand in the stairwell. We give you the fixed price after a survey; we are liable for your household goods under the HGB.

Pack hanging up

Shirts, suits and dresses stay on their hangers and go straight into the wardrobe box – without creases and without repacking at the destination.

Not too full

Leave a little space between the hangers. If you hang the rail too tightly, you squash the clothes together – and then they crease after all.

Load upright

In the lorry, the boxes stand upright with no heavy boxes on top, so that the rail does not slip out and the box does not buckle.

Pack separately

Shoes, belts and bags go into separate boxes. That way no heels or buckles press into delicate fabrics.

WELL PACKED

What we do for you

So that your wardrobe arrives after the move just as it hung in the cupboard, we pay attention to six points with you – from packing and transport to unpacking at the destination. What is included in the fixed price is stated in the quote.

Reliable moving service

We tell you in advance when the wardrobe boxes will arrive, so you only have to empty the wardrobe shortly before moving day.

Safe handling

Wrap delicate items such as silk or evening dresses in garment bags before hanging them in the box.

Clear communication

The quote states whether wardrobe boxes are included in the fixed price or charged separately – no surprises afterwards.

Structured move planning

Label each box with the destination room, then the wardrobe boxes end up right next to the correct wardrobe instead of in the hallway.

Flexible support

Would you like to pack yourself or hand everything over? Both are possible – on request our helpers pack and, at the destination, unpack again.

Store dry

Cardboard protects against dust, not against wet. Do not put full wardrobe boxes in damp cellars or on a cold floor.

NATIONWIDE SERVICE

Save on smaller loads

With a shared load, your wardrobe boxes and boxes travel with other jobs on the same route. This is worthwhile if only part of your household is moving – such as clothes and books for a room in another city. The boxes stand upright in the lorry; we agree a time window for collection and delivery instead of a fixed day.

FAQ

Questions about transporting clothes in wardrobe boxes

Number, load, collection, liability, silk and storage – all about wardrobe boxes for your move.

A wardrobe box is a sturdy moving box with an integrated clothes rail on which garments can be transported on hangers. It protects your wardrobe from creases, dust and damage during the move. Especially for delicate fabrics such as suits or evening dresses, this type of packing is the best choice to minimise the ironing afterwards.

How to pack your wardrobe boxes properly

When filling the wardrobe boxes, make sure the garments are not hung too tightly together so that they do not crease during transport. Heavy items such as coats belong at the ends of the rail, lighter items such as blouses or shirts in the middle. This keeps the box balanced and nothing slips.

It is also advisable to pack shoes and accessories separately in smaller boxes so as not to weigh down the wardrobe boxes unnecessarily. If you are transporting particularly delicate fabrics, you can also wrap them in garment bags before hanging them in the box. That way your wardrobe is optimally protected.

Rent or buy wardrobe boxes?

Many customers wonder whether renting or buying wardrobe boxes is better value. For a one-off move, renting is usually the cheaper and more sustainable option, as the boxes can be returned after use. At "Beste Umzug Unternehmen" you can request wardrobe boxes together with your move; whether they are included in the fixed price is stated in the quote.

If, on the other hand, you move more often or want to use the boxes long-term as a wardrobe substitute, you can decide to buy them. In this case we are happy to advise you on suitable sizes and qualities that will easily withstand repeated use.
