Expat Moving Company Amsterdam - Van Leijenberghlaan 198

The communication was incredibly good. I received my goods without issues. I would warmly recommend to anyone moving to Germany.

Stay away from this moving company. I recently hired the Expat Moving Company services to help me move from Utrecht to Amsterdam and with the exception of booking the service, the rest of the experience was a real nightmare. Below I am listing the reasons why I would recommend to you to think twice before booking their services. 1. Unpunctual The moving staff showed up 2 hours late, 17:00, and it took me multiple calling attempts before getting an update on their arrival status. Upon arrival, they were slow to get the move going. 2. Disorganised Trusting that a moving company would have the expertise to handle the move of a studio apartment fast (see attached pictures for reference) the experience was the complete opposite. The loading of the furniture onto the moving truck was all over the place despite having plenty of room to arrange it properly. This also was noted when unloading the furniture/boxes and leaving the all over the place despite them being labeled. 3. Slow The whole move was anticipated to last 3 hours, however, it took them almost three hours to move the furniture out of the apartment, this considering that a friend of mine and myself heavily helped with bringing the furniture out on to the street and having an elevator. What was originally meant to be a 3 hour move turned out to be almost 6 hours. 4. Hidden costs I was originally told that for the amount of furniture/boxes, previously specified item by item over the phone, the move would take a maximum of 3 hours; I questioned this but agreed to it as I also figured it was not much to move. As previously mentioned, the move took almost double the time and had to argue on with the moving staff that I was not paying an additional full three hours because, as they recognised, I helped a lot with the move; additionally, a gas stop out of the way to the move destination was made. The additional charge was of an extra EUR 238 after arguing the price down. 5. Cash only When charging the additional fee, it was difficult to convince them to settle the amount via Tikkie as the company prefers to deal in cash. Overall, this turned out to be more expensive than renting a van and handling the move with a few of my friends. In a nutshell, if what you want is an organised move with not too much stress, don't hire this company. (Note that the pictures show the furniture/boxes after I organised them; I am also including a video showing the furniture/boxes before the move started; hope it is visible)
