Start packing in good time
We often see people start too late. Our advice: start at least three weeks in advance. Begin with things you do not need every day, such as books, decorations and seasonal clothing.
Moving tips
10 moving tips from MuscleMovers
As a removal company we have carried out hundreds of moves. Based on that experience, here are the ten tips that make the biggest difference.
Use sturdy moving boxes
Good boxes prevent damage and stack safely. We offer sturdy moving boxes to rent or buy. Ask about them with your quote.
Label every box
Write on each box what is inside and which room it belongs in. It saves searching, and movers work faster and more safely when everything is clearly labelled.
Make a moving schedule
List what needs to happen and when, from cancelling subscriptions to moving day itself. We agree the moving day schedule together with you.
Heavy items at the bottom
A simple but important tip: heavy items such as books at the bottom of the box, lighter items on top. Boxes keep their shape and everything stays intact.
Keep an essentials box at hand
Think toiletries, chargers, keys, some clothes and something to eat. Take this box with you in the car, so you have everything at hand on the first evening.
Have fragile items packed properly
Glassware, crockery and electronics deserve extra attention. We can pack them for you. Prefer to do it yourself? Use towels or bubble wrap and fill any empty space.
Arrange parking in time
In cities like Amsterdam, Haarlem and Utrecht a permit or free parking space for the moving van is often necessary. Apply in good time. We are happy to help.
Update your address
Think of the municipality, your bank, employer, GP, insurers and online shops. We also remind our clients just before moving day.
Request a quote early
The earlier you plan, the more choice of dates. We are happy to think along, including for specific wishes such as a weekend move, an urgent job or help with heavy furniture only.
