What are removal labels needed for?
For business clients
The removal labels can be affixed to crates and furniture, and enable the removal team to assign your removal goods by means of the note of the room number. Please ensure that you do not stick the removal labels directly on furniture or mirror surfaces, as the adhesive may not come off entirely or may damage the surface.
For private clients
The removal labels can be affixed to crates and furniture and enable the removal team to assign your removal goods in your new flat: Where must which cabinet be placed ? Which boxes belong into the bathroom and which ones belong into the bedroom ? Please ensure that you do not stick the removal labels directly on furniture or mirror surfaces, as the adhesive may not come off entirely or may damage the surface.
Size of removal boxes for moving, fill level and weight limit?
The dimensions of our removal boxes are 600x360x340 and together with the contents, must not weigh more than 30 kilos. The boxes must always be filled completely, as boxes that are only half-filled are squashed when stacked. The best way is to fill the bottom part of the box with something heavy (e.g. books) and fill up the rest with light objects (e.g. bedding or towels). This way, the boxes can be stacked in the removal van without any problems.
