How our removals process works

A clear, proven sequence keeps your move predictable from the UK to Liechtenstein. We combine meticulous planning with on‑the‑day agility, so even tight access or schedule changes are handled smoothly.

The 7‑step flow

  1. Survey & quote: Share your inventory, photos or a quick video. We match the vehicle size and crew to your needs and flag access permits or lift bookings early. You’ll receive a transparent quote with optional add‑ons.
  2. Packing & prep: Choose full‑service packing or hybrid. We protect furniture, disassemble where needed, and label boxes for room‑by‑room delivery in Liechtenstein. Fragile‑only options are available if you prefer to self‑pack.
  3. Customs paperwork guidance: We help you prepare your numbered inventory and required declarations for EU/CH transit so border checks are straightforward. We’ll highlight any restricted items and advise alternatives.
  4. Collection & loading: Protective materials, numbered items and a load plan ensure balance and security during the alpine leg. Floors, doorways and lifts are shielded for clean handover.
  5. In‑transit GPS tracking: Monitor progress in real time. We provide proactive ETAs and coordinate arrival with you or your building manager. Share the live link with family for peace of mind.
  6. Delivery & placement: White‑glove option includes room placement, assembly, and debris removal for a clean finish. We’ll reassemble beds/wardrobes and align furniture per your plan.
  7. Aftercare: Need storage or an extra drop? We arrange follow‑ups and can collect packing waste once you’re settled. If you’re awaiting keys, we can hold your goods in short‑term storage.

Timeline at a glance

Before move day, most customers book 2–4 weeks ahead. Packing can happen the day before or same day for smaller moves. Transit from the South UK to Liechtenstein is typically 1–3 days depending on load type and route (express vs. consolidated). Delivery and placement usually complete within the same day of arrival.

What we need from you

To lock in the smoothest timetable, share key details early:

  • Preferred dates and any fixed access windows (e.g., concierge hours).
  • Full addresses with parking notes; tell us about permits, loading bays or red routes.
  • Lift dimensions or stair counts; photos of tight corners or basement access.
  • A quick inventory (rooms, large items, boxes) and any high‑value/fragile pieces.
  • Customs basics: passport name, destination tenancy/contract, and move rationale (relocation, work, study).
  • Any additional drops or collections en route.

Optional add‑ons

Add services to reduce friction on move day:

  • Packing materials kit delivered in advance.
  • Evening/early‑morning collection for city traffic avoidance.
  • White‑glove placement for art, instruments and electronics.
  • Short‑term storage if your keys/handovers don’t align.

What size vehicle do you need?

Selecting the right capacity keeps costs efficient and avoids extra trips. Use this guide to choose a van that fits your load while staying within weight limits. If you’re unsure, we’ll verify during the survey and right‑size you for safety and value.

Vehicle Capacity Guide

VANonsite VehicleApprox. VolumeMax PayloadTypical Use Case
Moving Basic5 m³300 kgStudio essentials, a few large suitcases, micro moves
Moving Medium10 m³600 kg1–2 rooms, student moves, light furniture
Moving Premium15 m³1,000 kg1‑bed flat, compact office, heavier items
Moving Premium Plus30 m³3,500 kg2–3 bed home, larger office loads
Moving Full House XXL90 m³20,000 kgFull house moves, multi‑vehicle or truck solution

How to estimate your volume
Walk room‑by‑room and count boxes plus big items. As a rule of thumb: a lightly furnished 1‑bed flat often fits 10–15 m³; a well‑furnished 2‑bed home can need 20–30 m³; larger family homes may require 30 m³+ or a split load.

Weight watch‑outs
Heavy items (solid wood, books, gym gear) can hit payload limits before volume. Tell us about unusually heavy pieces so we can plan safer loading or an upgrade.

When to size up

  • You expect last‑minute boxes or a garden shed/garage clear‑out.
  • Access requires extra protective materials or multiple carries.
  • You’re combining pickup points or adding an extra delivery address.
  • You prefer fewer trips and faster unload at destination.

For awkward or fragile items, consider complementing your vehicle with White Glove Delivery to ensure extra care at both ends. If in doubt, ask for two size options on your quote — we’ll explain the trade‑offs clearly.

Popular routes & express options (incl. London to Liechtenstein)

Because Liechtenstein sits between Switzerland and Austria, the fastest overland routes often transit via Zurich, Munich, or Milan. This makes planning simple and predictable. For time‑critical moves — particularly London to Liechtenstein — our direct‑drive express keeps your goods on a single vehicle with no cross‑docking, while consolidated options lower cost by sharing capacity.

Direct‑drive express vs. consolidated

  • Direct‑drive express: Dedicated vehicle, door‑to‑door, fastest transit, minimal handling. Best for high‑value items, tight handovers, or when you need a guaranteed ETA.
  • Consolidated service: Shared capacity to reduce cost, slightly longer transit windows, great for flexible timelines and smaller loads.

Ferry vs. Eurotunnel from the UK

  • Eurotunnel (Folkestone–Calais): Quick channel crossing and predictable schedules; ideal for express runs.
  • Ferry routes (e.g., Dover–Calais/Dunkirk): Budget‑friendly, good for off‑peak timetables or when the tunnel is congested.

Border & toll considerations (at a glance)

  • France: Motorway tolls apply on many fast corridors.
  • Switzerland: Motorway use typically requires a vignette; customs clearance commonly occurs at the Swiss border before final delivery in Liechtenstein.
  • Austria: Certain corridors require a vignette and heavy‑vehicle tolling; useful when routing via Munich.

Customs & documents when moving to Liechtenstein from UK

Because Liechtenstein forms a customs area with Switzerland, household goods are typically cleared at a Swiss border crossing before final delivery into Liechtenstein. To keep things smooth, prepare your documentation early and maintain a clear, numbered inventory.

Paperwork checklist (essentials)

  • Passport and destination address/tenancy or employment letter.
  • Numbered inventory list with concise descriptions and approximate values.
  • Proof items are personal & used (where applicable).
  • Contact details for both ends of the move and any building access notes.
  • Any permits or authorisations relevant to your situation (e.g., work/study documentation).

Recommended timeline

  • 2–3 weeks before pickup: Gather proofs (tenancy/contract), start your inventory, flag unusual items (artwork, instruments).
  • 7–10 days before: Finalise inventory and box labelling scheme; share with our team so declarations can be prepared.
  • Move day: Keep passports and keys with you; have parking permits ready; we’ll provide load sheets that match your inventory numbering.
  • Arrival & clearance: We coordinate border formalities and update you via GPS tracking with ETA for delivery/placement.

Restricted & sensitive items (typical examples)

  • Flammables and pressurised aerosols, paints, fuels.
  • Perishables, open food, certain plants/soil.
  • Weapons or items requiring special permits.
  • High‑value items may need serial numbers and extra documentation.

Note: Requirements can vary. We’ll confirm the latest guidance for your move profile and advise alternatives if an item needs special handling.

Insurance & peace of mind

  • Standard carrier liability is included per convention; coverage limits vary by weight.
  • Upgraded transit insurance (full‑value) available on request; recommended for high‑value shipments.
  • Condition reporting and protective packing reduce risk and accelerate claims if something happens.

London to Liechtenstein — what to expect

London to Liechtenstein moves benefit from precise timing, permit planning and a direct‑drive option that keeps your goods on a single vehicle. We align with your building rules, minimise London traffic impact and coordinate arrival in Liechtenstein with live ETAs.

Pickup windows that work in London

To avoid congestion and loading restrictions, we recommend:

  • Early morning (07:00–10:00): Fastest outbound leg; easier parking on many streets.
  • Late morning to early afternoon (10:00–14:00): Good for managed buildings with concierge hours.
  • Evening collections (after 18:30): Case‑by‑case for offices or where daytime loading is limited.

Tight access? We bring ramp systems, floor protection and smaller shuttle vans if your street or courtyard is restricted.

Parking, permits and building coordination

We’ll advise on likely parking suspensions or loading bay bookings. Tell us about red routes, width limits or concierge rules. If your building requires a move‑in/move‑out certificate or lift reservation, we’ll provide crew names, timings and insurance docs.

Sample express timeline (door‑to‑door)

  • Day 0 (London): Packing & load (half‑day to full day).
  • Day 1: Direct drive via Calais → Zurich corridor with GPS tracking and proactive ETAs.
  • Day 1/2 (Liechtenstein): Border formalities, delivery, room‑by‑room placement and assembly.
  • Post‑delivery: Packaging takeaway and optional storage.

For flexible budgets, ask about consolidated departures from London hubs to reduce cost.

Special items from London homes & offices

We regularly handle:

  • Art & antiques with soft‑pack, export wrap and optional climate‑aware handling.
  • IT & audiovisual with anti‑static protection and cable‑bagging for easy reconnection.
  • Pianos & instruments with dedicated trolleys and straps.
  • Fitness equipment and solid‑wood furniture planned against payload limits.

Packing, protection & white‑glove delivery

Great packing saves time at delivery and protects value throughout the journey. Choose the level that suits your schedule and budget. We can supply materials in advance and leave you a simple labelling scheme to keep unpacking quick.

Service levels

  • Full packing service: We bring materials, pack, label and inventory everything — ideal for busy households or when you need an exact box count.
  • Fragile‑only: We protect glass, art and electronics; you pack the rest to control budget.
  • Self‑pack with guidance: Use our packing checklist and materials list; we’ll still wrap bulky furniture.

Pro packing tips (quick wins)

  • Keep box weights sensible (aim for ≤20 kg per box).
  • Label top + two sides with room and brief contents; number boxes to match your inventory.
  • Disassemble beds, tables and wardrobes where practical; bag fixings and tape to the item.
  • Use mattress and sofa covers; protect corners with guards.
  • Empty and defrost fridges/freezers 24 hours before loading; drain washing machines.
  • Photograph cable setups behind TVs and PCs; place remotes and cables in a clearly marked bag.
  • Set aside a first‑night box (linens, kettle, chargers, basic tools) and carry passports/valuables with you.

White‑glove delivery — when to choose it

Pick white‑glove if you have artworks, designer furniture or complex placement at destination. The crew will place, assemble, fine‑tune layouts and remove all packing materials for a clean finish.

Pricing: what affects your quote

Your final price reflects volume, distance, timing and access. To keep control, share photos or a quick video walkthrough during the survey. We’ll build a clear proposal with inclusions, optional extras and a firm ETA for delivery.

How we calculate your price

  • Volume & weight: We match the vehicle to your inventory and stay within payload limits. Oversize or heavy items may require uprating or a second vehicle.
  • Distance & route: Express (direct‑drive) vs. consolidated (shared) and the chosen corridor (Zurich/Munich/Milan) influence transit cost.
  • Access constraints: Long carries, stair flights, limited lifts, red‑route or permit zones can affect crew time.
  • Service level: Packing, white‑glove placement, assembly/disassembly and storage are optional add‑ons.
  • Timing: Weekend, out‑of‑hours or last‑minute collections can carry premium scheduling.

What’s included vs. optional

Included: Professional crew, protective materials for furniture, standard loading/unloading, transit with GPS tracking, basic liability cover, delivery to one address with standard placement.
Optional: Full/fragile packing, unpacking and debris removal, white‑glove placement, assembly beyond basics, extra pickups/drops, long‑carry beyond standard, storage, specialised crating for art or antiques.

Storage before/after your move

If dates don’t line up, short‑ or long‑term storage bridges the gap. We can hold sealed pallets or containerised room‑by‑room consignments and redeliver on your schedule. Transfers between home, warehouse and Liechtenstein are GPS‑tracked.

Storage options at a glance

Short‑term transit storageKey delays, weekend gapsDays to a few weeksRedelivery aligned with keys/concierge
Medium‑term vaultsRenovations, visas, trial stays1–6 monthsScheduled access with notice
Long‑term storageOverseas assignments, staged moves6+ monthsPeriodic access; inventory on file

How storage works

  1. We collect and inventory your goods; fragile items get extra wrap.
  2. Items are containerised or palletised by room; we log everything.
  3. We store in secure facilities with CCTV and restricted access.
  4. When you’re ready, we deliver to your new address and place items by room.

Smart tips to reduce storage time and cost

  • Decant early: move non‑essentials ahead of the main load to secure dates.
  • Label by room + priority so we can place boxes for easy first‑week living.
  • Consolidate seasonal items to shared capacity if timing allows.
  • Keep a small “live” kit with you (documents, chargers, bedding) to avoid emergency access requests.
  • Share any access constraints at destination so we can plan lift bookings and avoid extra handling.

Security, insurance & access

  • Facilities use monitored CCTV, controlled entry and fire protection.
  • Standard liability applies in storage; enhanced insurance is available for high‑value items.
  • Access is by appointment so we can stage your goods safely.
  • Full chain of custody from collection to redelivery with documentation.

  • IT decommission/recommission: Anti‑static packing, cable‑bagging, labelled ports, device checklists.
  • Asset register & crate plan: Colour‑coded crates by team/room; QR labels available.
