What is a FlexMove?
How do I move my kitchen supplies?
- Go through your kitchen and get an idea of what items you will be using in the next few days that are urgently needed (glasses, plates, cutlery, etc.) and which you can do without for a few days.
- Put the things that you will need to keep using during your move in a separate box, while packing other appliances (like your waffle iron or toaster) in a different box. Meaningful labeling can be of big help here.
- Take the opportunity and declutter your kitchen in this process. For example in this step it is very easy to get rid of old plastic containers that are broken, yellowed or no longer have a lid.
- When your boxes are packed, it is best to put all the boxes that do not serve your daily needs in a different room. So nothing stands in the way and you don't get tempted to take anything out of them again. Now is the time, where professional help will smoothen your moving experience the most. Our Movinga partners are strong and experienced Movers who can take care of your move in no time at all. Don't hesitate and get a free quote for your move today.
Movinga works exclusively with experienced, professional and certified moving companies. The most important points we regularly check with all our partners include the trade license, vehicle documents for at least one vehicle and company and transport liability insurance. We also make sure the salaries of all employees involved exceed the statutory minimum wage.Since the satisfaction of our customers has the highest priority for Movinga, we carry out a small customer survey after each completed move. With this we aim to ensure to recognize all the weak points in our system immediately in order to continue to provide exceptional service in the future.
With our FlexMove you have the opportunity to save up to 38% on the final moving price and at the same time do something good for the environment. At the end of your booking, simply choose our the FlexMove and give our moving company a time window of several days, to set the final moving date for you. You will be informed of the final date no later than 14 days before the move in order to give you the greatest possible planning security. This gives us the freedom to connect different moving routes and thus save a lot of valuable resources. The saved costs we will, of course, pass on to you in the form of a reduced moving price.

How many boxes do I need for my move?
How much tip is appropriate?
One of the most important questions our customers ask themselves before they move is how many moving boxes they need. Our answer? You will almost always need more boxes than you expect. Over time most people collect a mountain of small and large treasures in their closets, which is why it is always better to be prepared with more packaging material than running out on the day of the move.Talk to your Movinga relocation advisor about our packaging service.The following table gives you a rough idea of how many boxes are needed on average.
< 50m2 | 50-100m2 | 101m2 - 150m2 | 151m2 - 200m2 | > 200m2 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Big Boxes | 3 - 12 | 5 - 15 | 10 - 20 | 15 - 25 |
Medium Boxes | 8 - 15 | 10 - 20 | 15 - 25 | 20 - 30 |

Even if moving with a professional company is not the cheapest way to move your belongings from one apartment to the next, experienced movers can save a lot of time and stress through their muscle strength and know-how. Many of our customers would like to express their gratitude in the form of a tip and therefore keep asking us what amount is recommended as a guideline.
We from Movinga recommend:The quality of our partners should convince you regardless of the amount of your tip and you are by no means obliged to give some. Our moving helpers are paid appropriately and are trained to handle your household effects equally motivated and mindful to bring you into your new home. However, a small tip and fresh drinks are a sign of appreciation that you will surely be thanked for. A tip of around ten to twenty euros per removal helper shows your satisfaction and rewards the movers for the hard physical work they do for you.
