Do-it-yourself removal

A do-it-yourself removal is an option for you if, among other things, you already have experience with moving, have enough time or only have to transport a small amount of household goods. Smaller distances, for example within a city, can also be more easily managed with a do-it-yourself move than a move over longer distances or even an international removal. How you can best approach a do-it-yourself move, you can read in this article.

What you should keep in mind for do-it-yourself removal

Important for a do-it-yourself removal, as with any move, is sensible time and resource planning. Without the support of professional moving specialists or movers, much of the organization and implementation of the move remains in your hands. A proven strategy: ask family or friends if they would like to lend a hand as movers in exchange for a small allowance or expense payment. So plan a budget in advance and give adequate advance warning so that there will be enough movers on hand on the big day.

Friends and family from the region are a valuable help, especially when moving over shorter distances – the radius of movement and thus the entire process is reduced to a minimum and the recruited helpers can ideally also help with the furnishing of the new apartment at the same time.

If a do-it-yourself removal takes place over a longer distance or if a lot of material is transported, the organization can be significantly more complex – transport costs and time required increase, so that the execution can be spread over several days or even several stages, such as consecutive weekends. Such a gum move is rarely desirable, taking up a large amount of time in the lives of those involved. In addition, such a move can also put a strain on the mind, if new thoughts and questions about the move are constantly buzzing around in the head. Therefore, it is better to consider in advance how to proceed most efficiently for your do-it-yourself move.

Do-it-yourself removal with professional support

Would you like to implement your do-it-yourself move yourself, but need more resources than you can organize at short notice? Then ask Umzüge Mansholt for support without obligation. For example, you can rent a moving truck including driver from us. This has the advantage that you do not have to take care of the transport of your household goods on your own.

If the removal also takes place over a longer distance or cannot be handled in one piece, we also offer you temporary storage of your furniture and other inventory. Use one of our self-storage rooms for this purpose, for example.

If you have only a few pieces to transport, you can also take advantage of an additional load in one of our many moving vans and trucks. In this way, you avoid using a half-full truck at full price and help us to protect the environment by better utilizing our transports. We are happy to offer you favourable fixed prices for this purpose.

Do-it-yourself removal as an alternative to a professional removal

A do-it-yourself removal is basically a good idea if time, will and resources are available in sufficient quantities. However, if you reach your limits during the implementation, it does not mean that you have to bury your do-it-yourself move planning. At Umzüge Mansholt, we offer you support in the form of a vehicle and a driver from our experienced team, among other things. Storage with us is also available. So you get everything you need to implement your DIY move.
