They pack your things. They load the van. They take the ferry or the tunnel. They drive to Belgium. They bring it to your new home.
They also do the customs papers. You do not file a thing. FIDI FAIM means they pass a strict audit. No shortcuts. You are in safe hands.
The best moves are planned moves. Your mover books the ferry or tunnel in good time. They check parking at both ends. They turn up with strong boxes and proper wrap. They pack, load and set off. The hard work is theirs.
Always get a survey first. It costs nothing. The mover looks over your home and lists what you have. That way the price is firm and the day holds no surprises. Short on time? A quick video survey does the job.
Pick your date with thought. Summer is the busy season, so book ahead. A midweek or off-season slot can save you money. Your mover will point you to the best window for your route. It pays to ask. A little planning goes a long way.
Keep every important paper together in one folder. Customs will need to see them. Jot down a list of what you own, and note the pricey items like a laptop or a bike. Your mover will help with the customs form.
Make up a bag for the first night. Pack the basics: keys, phone, chargers, medicines and clean clothes. Tape your boxes well and mark the room on each. The new place comes together much faster when you do.
Warn your mover about anything awkward. Tight stairs, a small lift, narrow doors, a bed or sofa that must come apart. The more they know, the smoother it goes. Always ask if you are unsure of something. That is what they are there for. A quick word up front helps a lot.
