MOVING TO/FROM OR WITHIN HOLLAND

Expats planning a move to Holland should be aware that living spaces are typically small, especially when it comes to older traditional Dutch homes. Take this into consideration before shipping large pieces of furniture.

Pre-WWII multi-story buildings in Netherlands typically have narrow staircases and/or small elevators. When moving into an apartment on a higher floor, Dutch movers often employ a mechanical lift that extends from a truck on ground level to a higher floor apartment. Items can then be taken in through the window. Mechanical lifts have a maximum range of approximately 6-8 floors.

It is sometimes possible to rent just a mechanical lift from a mover even if you are not using that company’s full moving services. Rentals are generally available in full and half day increments. The company provides a lift operator.

Moving from the Netherlands to a destination overseas? Then the local Dutch moving company will complete the required export customs documents and pass them to the freight forwarder with the shipment. The shipment may be departing by air or sea.

Dutch moving companies that handle overseas removals generally partner with a shipping company located in the destination country. The partner company is provided with all the relevant tracking information so they can collect the shipment when it arrives and deliver it to your new residence.

It is important to check that the moving company you choose has adequate insurance, so that your belongings will be fully covered in the event of loss or damage.

Moving boxes and packing supplies can be found at Dutch D-I-Y and general merchandise chain stores such as Gamma, Karwei, Praxis, HEMA and bol.
