From the UK to the Netherlands: An Outstanding Move

Let us begin – What was the primary reason for your move?

I moved to Amsterdam primarily for a new job opportunity in the tech sector, which also gave me the chance to immerse myself in a new culture and lifestyle. The experience with Legends Removal Company during this transition was truly outstanding. They made what could have been a stressful move very manageable. Their professionalism and the care they took with my belongings were impressive.

Everything from packing in the UK to unpacking in Amsterdam was handled with precision. Their clear communication and affordability also eased a lot of my worries. I’m grateful for their support which allowed me to focus on settling into my new home and job without the hassle of moving complications.

Glad to hear that! Was it easy to find a mover? Did you do some research?

Yes, I did quite a bit of research before settling on Legends Removal Company. I looked for a mover that had strong customer reviews, especially ones that highlighted reliability and professionalism for international moves. Legends stood out because they were consistently praised for their efficient handling of logistics and clear communication.

Their competitive pricing was also a significant deciding factor, especially since I was looking for a shared delivery option to keep costs down. Additionally, their responsiveness to inquiries and their detailed answers to my initial questions made me feel confident in their service. This thorough vetting process really paid off, as they lived up to every expectation.

Did everything go as planned on the moving day?

Moving day with Legends Removal Company went surprisingly smoothly, which was a relief. The team arrived early in the morning, which gave us plenty of time to oversee all the packing and ensure that everything was accounted for. They were very systematic and careful with my belongings, using plenty of protective wrapping for my furniture and delicate items.

What worked particularly well was the way the team coordinated among themselves and with me. They had a clear plan and communicated what needed to be done at each step, so I never felt out of the loop. There was a minor hiccup when they realized that one of the boxes marked for kitchenware was actually filled with bathroom items, but they handled it with ease, quickly reorganizing without any fuss.

The delivery in Amsterdam was equally efficient. The team who unpacked my belongings was courteous and careful, making sure everything was placed in the correct rooms. The only issue we faced was a slight delay in the delivery time due to traffic conditions around Amsterdam, but I was informed in advance and it didn’t cause any significant inconvenience.

Overall, the experience was very positive, with the professionalism and effectiveness of the Legends Removal team making a potentially stressful day go off without a major hitch.

Based on my positive experience with Legends Removal Company, here are my top tips for anyone planning a move, especially internationally:

Is there any advice before moving you would give others?

1. Start Planning Early: Begin your moving preparations well in advance. This includes researching moving companies, getting quotes, and booking your movers. Early planning also gives you plenty of time to sort out what to take with you and what to sell, donate, or discard.
2. Research Movers Thoroughly: Look for companies with excellent reviews, particularly those that highlight reliability and professionalism in international moves. Don’t hesitate to ask potential movers detailed questions about their process, insurance coverage, and how they handle unexpected issues.
3. Declutter: Moving is a great opportunity to declutter. Reducing the volume of your possessions not only lowers your moving costs but also simplifies your packing and unpacking process.
4. Label Everything: Carefully label all your boxes with both the contents and the room they belong in. This will save you a lot of time and frustration when you arrive at your new home.
5. Keep Important Documents Handy: Have all your important documents like passports, job contracts, rental agreements, etc., in a separate bag that stays with you at all times. This ensures you have easy access to them when needed.
6. Prepare an Essentials Box: Pack an essentials box or suitcase with items you’ll need immediately upon arrival, such as toiletries, a few changes of clothes, basic kitchen items, and any other day-to-day essentials. This is especially helpful if there’s a delay in the delivery of your items.
7. Communicate Clearly with Your Movers: Maintain clear and open communication with your moving company. Confirm all details a few days before the move and stay in contact on moving day.
8. Inspect Delivered Items: Once your items are delivered, inspect them immediately for any damage. In case of any issues, report them to the moving company right away to facilitate the insurance claims process.

Following these tips can help ensure a smoother, more organized relocation experience.
