• How long does a move take?

  We always make the move on the same day. A move takes about 4-6 hours from start to finish depending on the size of your household content, traffic and accessibility.

  We perform our moving service at 8.00–16.00 on weekdays and at 9.00–15.00 on weekends. Upon request, it is also possible to perform moves at a later time.

• I'm going to move a longer distance, is it possible?

  We offer our moving services with Stockholm, Uppsala, Gothenburg and Malmö as a starting point and can from there help you move to a new address throughout the country.

  If you move from Linköping, Norrköping or Västerås, we will help you with your move to Stockholm, Uppsala, Gothenburg and Malmö and the surrounding area. Enter the postcode where you are moving, at the top of the page, and it will be clear if we offer moving help there.

• What do I need to prepare for the move?

  If you have not booked packing from us, your entire household goods must be completely unpacked and ready to be carried out on the day of moving. Sensitive furniture and textiles should be packed as well as possible and everything that fits a moving box should be packed that way.

• I have a larger bed/sofa or similar furniture that needs to be screwed down, how do I do that?

  Your move includes easier dismantling. We take down lamps, simpler sets of shelves or, for example, your sofa or bed to be able to carry it out. Wardrobe systems such as PAX are not included in easier dismantling.
