Family Move from London to Berlin

A Big Move, Made Less Stressful with the Right Help

We’re a family of four who relocated from London to Berlin, and Sirelo made the whole process much less stressful. Our chosen mover, VanOne, was reliable and helpful throughout. They were easy to reach by phone and always responded professionally.

They also gave clear advice on import duty forms, which was a big help. We had to reschedule and increase the move size last minute, and their online system made it quick and simple. Overall, a smooth, supportive experience from start to finish. Would definitely recommend.

Why We Chose VanOne

We chose VanOne after doing a lot of online research and reading reviews. It offered the cheapest and most flexible option for our move. The booking process was easy, communication with the driver was clear, and everything went smoothly on the day. Our belongings arrived safely and on time.

Great value for money — highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly moving service. We’d use them again for future moves — the experience was stress-free and efficient, with a person and not a bot on the other end.

Coordinating Across Borders: England & Germany

On moving day, my husband stayed in England to handle the loading, while I had already flown to Germany with the kids to receive everything. Splitting the move this way helped us stay calm and organised.

The three-day pickup window wasn’t ideal, but planning ahead made it manageable. The driver kept in touch throughout, so we always knew what to expect. Everything arrived safely and on time in Berlin, and the whole process was smoother than we had hoped. We will use them again when getting our remaining furniture over in a year’s time (it’s currently still in storage as we’re renting a furnished apartment for the first year).

Tips for a Smooth and Organised Move

• Planning is everything!
  VanOne provided a detailed Excel sheet for listing, numbering, and weighing our items — it was absolutely invaluable.
  It helped us stay organised and avoid surprises on moving day.
• We also bought proper moving stickers, which turned packing into a surprisingly fun stationery activity, especially for the kids.
  Labelling everything clearly made both loading and unloading much easier.
• Taking time to prepare properly really made the whole move feel smoother and less stressful, and reassured us that we didn’t miss any required legal steps.
