Full Service Move

A full-service move coordinated by Packimpex means your move will be carefully planned and masterfully executed by experts, with nothing left to chance. All you have to do is hand your house key to the movers and they will take it from there. With over 45 years of experience in the industry, Packimpex is a European relocation industry leader and the recipient of numerous relocation awards.

First we will ask you to provide some details about your move. We will use this information to begin preparing your personalised quotation.

Once we've got those details, our experts will contact you to schedule a date for a survey. This will be either an online survey or a face-to-face survey of your property. The survey allows us to make an accurate volume estimation of the household goods you will be moving. Then we will provide you with a price quotation for your full-service move.

You will receive our personalised quotation, including terms & conditions and full information on transport insurance, within 1 – 2 working days after the survey.

Once all your questions are clarified and you have signed the contract, then your personal Move Manager will contact you to agree on the next steps.

Your move will take between 1 – 4 weeks on average (if moving within Europe)

You will need to be extra organized and coordinate the move AND the home finding process

Make sure you have storage options in case you are not able to find a home at your destination in due time

If you decide to handle an international move by yourself, you should be aware that there are restrictions to the items you can import.

What to take with you when you move

Go through your things and decide what you want to take with you. Take only those things that you deem are absolutely necessary and will give you a sense of ‘home’.

If you’re moving on a tight budget, drastically reduce the amount of stuff to take with you. Many countries have numerous second-hand stores, so you will easily find affordable furniture.

How to choose between moving providers

Ask for at least 3 moving quotes and carefully analyse them. Negotiate! See if any of them has the option of placing some items in storage and at what cost.

Pro tip: To identify quality international movers, make sure they are a member of the International Movers Association FIDI, which provides the only worldwide recognised quality standard in the industry. All FIDI moving companies are independently audited by Ernst & Young.

Make sure all quotes contain info on weight/ volume, inclusions/ exclusion, shipping mode, expected transit time, required documents for customs clearance, insurance coverage and premium, as well as payment terms.

Check weight/volume estimates between the various offers. If there are significant differences, ask why.

Do not only compare the price, look at inclusions and exclusions. If they are not identical, how do they impact the quoted price?

Check the insurance coverage and insurance premium. A small difference of 0.5% might make a significant difference when calculated on the insurance value.

Evaluate the professionalism of the surveyors, the information received, the timeframe between survey and quote and the overall impressions you have of the companies.
