This is the perfect guide for you. Edwards European Moving have created this timeline to show when moving services are carried out and when things should be implemented in order to making your relocation as stress free as possible with no complications along the way.

European moving guide timeline

2-3 months before relocation

Contact Us Via phone or on website to enable one of our European co-ordinators to provide you with a competitive quotation for our forthcoming removal. Please note to avoid extra charges you will have to give as much detail about the amount of personal effects to transport and the access at both properties for a large vehicle. You will be issued with a written quote and details of the insurance cover for your goods. Any special requirements will be included in the quote. If you are happy to proceed a date will be set for your European relocation. The balance needs to be settled before your relocation

1-2 months before relocation

Once you have excepted the moving quote from Edwards European Moving, our team will liase with you regarding any special requirements, Insurance, and most important EU Customs if you are moving from the UK to Europe. Our co-ordinators and management closely monitor all legislation changes and will be able to advise on customs formalities (if any) for all EU countries at this stage.

1 Day before relocation

The Day of delivery

The removals vehicle will arrive outside your property, the team will unload straight away, the inventory must be checked for every item leaving the vehicle (this will need to be signed off by both parties when finished). The team will place each item into your chosen room only once. If you chose the unpacking service, the team will unpack everything onto a flat service. If you shipped your goods then the destination team will unwrap all export items and clear away any rubbish.
