The official moving date, March 31, is approaching. Martin Simek says that perhaps this day should be renamed “Moving Day” because the Swiss no longer move only on certain days of the year. He is co-managing director of Nägeli Umzüge, which has completed more than 50,000 movements in its 50 years of existence. Simek has been working as a reinsurer himself for nearly 30 years. He knows how to prevent a move from turning into a fiasco.
Blick: Mr. Simek, what do you think is the worst thing that can happen to you when you move?
Martin Simek: If the transport company does not arrive on the agreed date.
How often does this happen?
This has already happened to many of our customers. They come to us after having bad experiences. Some providers abandon the order in a short time for the sake of a more lucrative offer. In order: You make a new appointment suggestion. Not all companies operating in Switzerland can be described as reputable.
Prices vary greatly depending on the provider.
Moving has a price. I would be wary if a company quotes a low flat rate without seeing it on site. Often, reiners come in and suddenly say things will now be more expensive because the effort has been greater than expected. A client of mine had an extreme experience in this regard.
Which?
It was said that he had to pay 1,500 francs more than originally agreed. Cash requested. She withdrew the amount and put the notes in her bag, which she left unattended. When the movers completed the transportation with great noise, the money had disappeared from the bag. The customer wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, so he withdrew another 1,500 francs. A move cannot be automatically canceled or postponed. As a customer, you are completely at your mercy.
How can I make sure this won’t happen to me?
It’s simple: Only hire companies that a trusted person has recommended to you. And don’t accept the cheapest offer. It is useful to pay attention to costs, but if you only think about saving money, you will quickly become a victim.
What can I do as a customer to ensure an efficient move?
Prepare it well. It is important that everything is packaged in sturdy boxes. This means shippers can better stack moving goods within the vehicle and transport them more quickly and efficiently using wheelchairs. It is a well packaged half bridle.
What kind of boxes are suitable?
Double-walled cardboard boxes with reinforced anti-slip tape are best. Weak boxes collapse quickly. Banana boxes are also suitable.
What characterizes a good moving company?
Their employees can estimate how long a move will take. This information can be used to calculate how many resins will be needed to complete the job in the available time. Customers often want to save money and allocate as few staff as possible to an order. They don’t think about the time it takes to complete the job. And this situation is not good for the morale of the soldiers.
What do you want to say?
Two movers are understandably put off when they come across a cluttered 4.5-room flat in the morning. Then it becomes difficult for the individual to manage his strength to last until the end. In any case, four people always carry heavy sofas, dressers or cabinets. Everyone is in a corner. The balance needs to be right.
When is a furniture lift useful?
When moving large, heavy furniture that needs to be moved to higher floors of a house without an elevator. The facade should be easily accessible. An elevator can be compared to a fire escape ladder. The façade must be easily accessible; The elevator cannot be located more than 15 meters away. You need the largest possible window or, even better, a balcony to clear the furniture at the top.
How about assigning your friends to help you?
This might be a good idea if you slow down when you’re young and your belongings are still low. I don’t want any other colleagues after thirty; otherwise at some point you will have no colleagues left.
