Moving checklist: what must be ready before the truck
Moves rarely fail on a box. They fail on a missing stand, a locked lift or inventory nobody described. The sequence below is operational: access first, then the request, then the day. Printable — without fake statistics.
Before you request quotes
Both addresses with floor and lift, rough inventory, photos of stair and courtyard, parking and whether a no-parking zone will be applied for. Building management: lift booking, quiet hours, keys. Preferred window and a fallback date. Optionally take the sketch from the estimator.
Checklist to tick off
□ Origin and destination with floor/lift □ Volume or furniture list □ Photos of tightest point □ Parking/no-parking status □ extras (packing, assembly, piano) □ Date + fallback □ Contacts both ends □ Building management informed □ Documents/medicines carried yourself. Print and walk through with the company — no euro columns.
Munich notes (no invented deadlines)
No-parking: typically via Munich’s KVR — check current lead times only with the authority, not from this copy. Registration and reporting are official matters; deadlines and forms sit on official city pages. General information, not legal advice. Local access also under Moving in Munich and the no-parking guide.
On moving day
Keep paths clear, one reachable contact at both ends, carry medicines and documents yourself, note meter readings. Report deviations immediately, not after unloading.
