International Removals & Overseas Relocation

Moves in Europe are usually carried out by road transport. Destinations such as Great Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Spain as well as the Netherlands, Belgium and Scandinavia are often combined by groupage loads if possible, which also reduces the price. Certain destinations are approached even on a weekly basis. Eastern Europe and Greece can also be easily reached through our network. Usually, the furniture does not need to be packed for export, as we work with freight forwarders and moving partners who are well equipped with blankets and protective moving materials, but we always take highest care and pack particularly delicate items such as art, antiques, glass, marble electronics, etc. and create a suitable packaging or freight crate to ensure a safe transportation. If you wish, our team will take care of the entire packaging and offer you our full-service packing service. The dismantling of the furniture is done by our specialists, and the truck is loaded by our team. The unloading at the destination as well as the unpacking and assembly of furniture at the destination is then covered by our partner. Customs clearance is also handled by us; we will ask you to provide us with all the required documents ahead of time so that we can notify the customs clearance agent in advance.

Overseas destinations are shipped in containers by cargo ships or by air freight. Our international moving service includes full- service- pack, which is part of an international relocation. All contents are professionally packed in cardboard boxes and bubble wrap and your furniture is dismantled by our furniture fitters and professionally export wrapped. Our employees create an inventory list on site and list all the items contained in the shipment. We require these and other documents from you for the customs clearance of the removal goods. The documents required by customs include deregistration confirmations, passport copies, as well as registration confirmations, etc. Our service covers customs clearance and the associated administrative services for you. Our customs agent or partner also takes care of the import declaration and the import of the goods upon arrival. We make sure that your goods are delivered directly to your new apartment or house. The container is transported to your specified destination where the goods are unloaded by the team of our international partner, the furniture is reassembled and if you request, the boxes unpacked. Of course, the used packing material and the left-over debris will be taken away for disposal on the moving day.

Of course, we also offer the above service for deliveries from any destination in the world to Switzerland. In this case we would use our international partner for the origin service which includes packing and loading the container and the shipping.
