What can I expect from quality movers?

  • good organisation of services with easy accessibility on the phone, via the internet and, more recently, on social media
  • the company should be able to carry out all services without the client's involvement
  • a quality moving company will send a technician to you free of charge, who will assess the scope of the move on the spot and suggest a price - you may or may not have to accept it
  • the advantage of the technician's visit is that he/she will determine the quantity and types of packing materials necessary to pack the goods in accordance with the insurance companies' requirements
  • quality packing material is essential for the safe transport of goods - bubble wrap is used, but also paper, wooden or plastic boxes - again, the technician should advise on the correct packing
  • companies that care about your satisfaction will be happy to lend you moving boxes well in advance of moving day "D"
  • Careful movers usually want to pack electronics, furniture and valuable pictures themselves - so that they can then fully guarantee the safe transport
  • a modern fleet with vehicles adapted for moving is essential - by adapted we certainly don't mean carpeting the walls of an older van (such as an Iveco) as we see with inferior, but unfortunately often cheaper, companies
  • here too, "you know a friend in a pinch" - in the event of a damage event, solid companies will handle everything for you - you just sign that there was damage and don't worry about anything else
  • for a good company the cooperation does not end with the completed order - they tend to call their clients a few days after the move and check their satisfaction - getting feedback is very important for improving the quality of services

State-of-the-art practices in corporate relocation

  • Developing a precise schedule, developing descriptive labels for boxes from each workplace, developing a manual for individual employees (when their boxes will be delivered, how to pack their personal belongings, the day and time they will move, when they should come back to work, etc.)
  • free of charge parking spaces at the relocation site and at the destination location
  • the possibility of moving valuable documents in the so-called "safe" mode - in plastic boxes with a lid and two seals
  • possibility of arranging supervision by a security agency or the Police of the Czech Republic, if necessary
  • air suspension of vehicles for moving sensitive items
  • shock sensors for fragile objects
  • the use of a staircase moving robot, which can move heavy loads up to one tonne

Put our years of experience to work, and don't just bet on a low price! Also take a look at the fleet of your chosen movers and ask about everything up front. Don't be afraid to approach multiple companies with your enquiry.
