Efficient international moving services for migrating to Switzerland

Discover the most efficient and affordable way to move across Europe with our international moving services. Your global move is in expert hands with our specialised services tailored for relocations from the Nordics. Our commitment to sustainability includes preferring combined transports, where your household goods are efficiently transported with other families belongings. Whether you're immigrating to Switzerland or want to move to Switzerland for work, count on us for a personalised service that ensures a seamless move experience.

When planning a move to Switzerland, we recommend reaching out to us at least 6 weeks before your expected move date. This lead time allows us to meticulously plan and prepare for your relocation. Typical transit times for moves within Europe generally range from 5 to 10 days door-to-door. If you require additional time between loading and delivery, we offer warehousing options to accommodate your schedule.

Switzerland – How to move there?

To provide you with the most accurate cost estimate for your move, our team will conduct a pre-move survey. During this assessment, we'll evaluate the volume of your belongings, assess the accessibility of your current residence, and identify any delicate items that may require special handling or packing materials.

All household goods shipments to Switzerland require customs clearances. Our experienced team will guide you through the necessary customs procedures and steps to move to Switzerland, ensuring a hassle-free experience as you embark on your journey. You can also find detailed customs information on importing household goods from this link as provided by the FIDI association, the largest global alliance of international moving and relocation companies.
