Frequently Asked Questions & Help Center

Most asked questions

Can I adjust my order after booking (general order data / moving good list / additional services)? If so, until when?

Of course you can also adjust your booking afterwards. Since we plan our moves on a long-term basis and reserve corresponding routes and capacities for you, changes to your order are only possible if the move date is at least 15 days in the future at the time of the change. Additional costs may arise due to order changes.

Can I change my moving date? If so, until when?

Yes, it is possible to change the date of the move after the contract has been concluded, if the move date at the time of the change is at least 15 days in the future and the new move date is not within the next 15 days (from the time of the change). The price for the change of the moving date is CHF 49.00. If the moving date is 15 days or below at the time of the change, unfortunately no change of the moving date is possible.

Please note that the price may increase or decrease according to the season, as indicated in the list of prices and services.

Which partner carries out the move?

Movinga selects the right partner for you from our tested partner network. You will receive the contact details of your moving partner at least 48 hours before your move.

How is the walking distance calculated?

The walking distance is the distance between the parking lot of the moving truck and your front door / warehouse entrance. Courtyards, backyards, gardens and the similar must be taken into account in the calculation. Please inform us of any special features that you notice at the place where you move out or move in. Please also inform us if anything changes in the planned route before the move, e.g. due to a construction site. In this way you can ensure that we can prepare your move in the best possible way.

Which furniture must be disassembled for the move?

Furniture that is too big, too heavy or too bulky to be transported in one piece must be disassembled. The same applies to objects that cannot be transported safely in their assembled state. You do not know for sure whether this is the case? Here are a few questions that may help: Does the furniture not fit through all the doors, corridors and hallways? Are there narrow corners and staircases that need to be overcome? Is the item heavier than 80 kg? Is the item very high or wide? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the item will probably need to be disassembled. Still insecure? Please contact our customer service. We will be happy to advise you.

Does Movinga disassemble my furniture or do I have to do that?

You are welcome to ask us to disassemble or assemble your furniture for an additional charge. Please note that we only assemble furniture if we have also disassembled it before. Would you like to do the dismantling and assembly yourself? Then please make sure that all furniture to be disassembled is already disassembled when our partner arrives at your home.

Is it possible for Movinga to pack my moving boxes?

Movinga will pack your moving boxes if you have instructed us to do so at the time of booking. Please refer to your order confirmation for details. You are welcome to entrust us with the packing and unpacking of your moving boxes up to 15 days before the moving date. Please contact our customer service and we will prepare an appropriate offer for you.

How many moving boxes do I need?

The number of boxes required for a move can vary greatly. Therefore, we cannot make a general statement about how many boxes you will need. As a rough calculation aid, you can assume the following quantities: 30 boxes for a single household. For each additional person 20 to 25 extra boxes. For each additional baby or toddler 10 extra boxes. Minimalists probably need a little less, collectors sometimes need considerably more boxes.

I have ordered boxes, where is my delivery?

As soon as your order has been shipped, you will receive an e-mail from our shipping service provider with information about the shipping status. If you have not received an e-mail, please contact Movinga.

When do I need a no no-parking zone ?

No-parking zones help to ensure a comfortable and smooth process of your move. In some places, parking without a no-parking zone is not even possible. Therefore, please make sure to check the local conditions at the place where you are moving out and at the place where you are moving in. If you have not requested a no-parking zone, it is your responsibility to provide a parking space for our partner during the move. This parking space must not be further away from the place of move-out / move-in than the route you have indicated.

When does my move start?

Of course you can indicate at the time of booking at which time you would like to move. However, we recommend that you keep the whole day free, as delays may occur depending on the traffic situation and/or unforeseen circumstances.

What happens if I want to take advantage of more services on the day of the move than specified in the order?

We would like to provide you with a stress-free move. This also includes finding a pragmatic and cost-effective solution for unforeseen developments on the day of the move. If, for example, we should transport more for you on the day of the move than we have initially should have had, we try to make this possible.

On the moving day

When does my move start?

Of course you can indicate at the time of booking at which time you would like to move. However, we recommend that you keep the whole day free, as delays may occur depending on the traffic situation and/or unforeseen circumstances.

How long will my move take?

How long your move will take depends on a number of factors. Here are some of them: How much volume do we transport for you? How far apart are the move-out address and move-in address? Have you booked additional services? What is the volume of traffic? Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to provide you with exact details of the duration of the move.

Who do I contact if I have questions on the day of the move?

On the day of the move, our customer service will be available for you at +41 (0)31 5602954.

Who do I contact if the movers are delayed?

We are dependent on traffic. Therefore please allow 15 minutes for our partners in case you are late. If the movers are still not there, please contact our customer service. You can reach us at the telephone number +41 (0)31 5602954. We will clarify for you as soon as possible why the partner has not yet arrived on site.

What happens if I want to take advantage of more services on the day of the move than specified in the order?

We would like to provide you with a stress-free move. This also includes finding a pragmatic and cost-effective solution for unforeseen developments on the day of the move. If, for example, we should transport more for you on the day of the move than we have initially should have had, we try to make this possible. In many cases, however, it will not be possible to extend your order on the day of the move. This is because we plan our capacities in such a way that we can offer you the best possible moving price. In any case, there will be an extra charge for the extension of your order. It can sometimes be considerably higher than if you change your order before the actual move. Therefore we ask you to check the completeness of your order again after booking and to inform us as early as possible about any change requests.

What is the proof of service for?

On the day of the move, our partner will present you with the proof of service. Please fill it out with the partner and sign it together. The performance proof serves to document the services provided by our partner. It can also be used to document any previous damage or new damage. The proof of service has probative value and is therefore for your protection.

Can I pay cash for changes to my order on the day of the move?

Changes to your order, even if they are exceptionally made on the day of the move, you always pay after receiving your invoice. Our partner companies are instructed not to accept cash for additional services from you on the day of the move.

When do I receive my invoice?

You will automatically receive the invoice for your move by e-mail two days after you move out.
