New dream home found, lease signed, and now it’s time to plan your move. Hiring a professional moving company will certainly save you a lot of time and nerves. However, whether you leave the move to a professional company or take care of everything yourself, you will definitely find a suitable offer for your move on Topkartons.ch: the MOVU moving shop.
Ordering moving boxes
Moving boxes are essential for anyone moving. They facilitate the transport of smaller items such as clothes, kitchen appliances, dishes, books, etc. You can either borrow, rent, or buy the boxes. If you choose to buy, we recommend doing it online, as the organizational effort required to transport the boxes from a hardware store to your home should not be underestimated.
Orders for moving boxes from the MOVU moving shop will be delivered to your doorstep within 48 hours. The boxes are available at an affordable price starting at CHF 3.90 per box, with delivery costs included. The moving boxes offered in the MOVU shop are of high quality, sturdy, and made of double-walled cardboard. They are of the best Swiss quality and are shipped directly from our warehouse in Basel. Here is the link to Topkartons.ch: the MOVU moving shop.
Renting a van
Would you prefer to handle your move yourself? This is only possible with a suitable vehicle. In the MOVU moving shop, you can easily find the van you need. With just one click, you can access a wide selection of different commercial vehicles provided by our partner Hertz.
The vans can be picked up at over 40 locations across Switzerland. If needed, they can even be delivered right to your doorstep. For a standard move, we recommend “the Allrounder” (Category C4) with a width of 2.05 m, a height of 2.52 m, and a length of 6 m. At Hertz, this includes a Fiat Ducato or a Citroën Jumper.
If you need to drive into an underground garage, we advise you to choose “the Compact” (Category O4), such as a Ford Transit with a maximum height of 2 m.
However, if you need a lift, “the Spacious” (Category H4), an Iveco, is the perfect choice for you.
Vans can be useful not only for self-moving but also for disposals before and after the move or for visiting a furniture store. For smaller and lighter transports, especially for disposals, you should consider the affordable DFSK (Category Q4). These are available on weekdays starting from CHF 35 for half a day. However, please note that the payload in this category should not exceed 700 kg.
In addition to vans, Hertz also offers other useful moving materials and accessories: dollies, tape, straps, blankets, etc. The moving accessories can be booked in the moving shop and then picked up directly with your van at the Hertz locations.
Moving insurance
Your friends help you carry your furniture and accidentally cause damage to one of the pieces. Such damages are called “gratuitous damages.” These are usually not covered by liability insurance. To ensure that you don’t have to hold your friends responsible for the damage while they are helping you with your move, you can find an additional moving insurance specifically for self-movers in our moving shop. This insurance covers all damages to your moving goods, regardless of who caused the damage. It provides the best protection for your move. The insurance provider is Basler Versicherung.
Professional moving company
Do you want to leave your move and/or your moving cleaning entirely to a professional company? No problem. Simply start a request and provide your moving inventory. You will then receive 5 free quotes from verified moving and cleaning companies in your area.
