Long-distance move to Dortmund: What should you consider?

  • Distance between the departure and destination locations
  • Volume of your belongings
  • Accessibility of the buildings
  • Floor level and carrying distances
  • Number of staff required
  • Packing and assembly services
  • Parking and access arrangements at the destination
