At The Greenford Removal Company we take great pride in offering unbeatable moving services tailored to meet the unique demands of each customer. One recent job demonstrating our commitment to excellence was Olva's move from Greenford to Norway. This relocation was particularly complex but was completed in just four days. It involved various types of goods, including large furniture pieces and fragile items, all handled with the utmost care and efficiency.

Day 1: Detailed Planning and Preparation

The first day of the job was dedicated to meticulous planning and preparation. Knowing that this had to be a seamless move we began with a thorough assessment of Olva's belongings. The inventory for Olva's move included a large amount of furniture, including a two-seater sofa, TV, TV unit, single and double beds, two bedside tables, armchair, coffee table, desk, four shelving units, two bookcases, a dining table with four chairs, and approximately 60 boxes.

Our planning process involved:

  • Item Cataloguing: Every item was catalogued, with special handling requirements noted.
  • Packing Materials: Ensuring we had all necessary packing materials, from bubble wrap to boxes and furniture blankets.
  • Logistics Coordination: Planning the route from Greenford to Norway, considering the safest and most efficient way to transport everything on time.

Day 2: Expert Packing and Loading

Early the next morning our team arrived at Olva's place to start the packing process. Our systematic and careful approach ensured that every item was packed securely:

  • Fragile Items: Bubble wrap and specially designed boxes were used to protect fragile items like the TV, coffee table, and shelving units.
  • Furniture Disassembly: Large furniture such as the double bed and dining table were disassembled for easier handling and loading.
  • Labelling: All boxes and items were labelled with their contents and destination room in Norway for organised handling upon unpacking.

After packing we efficiently loaded Olva's belongings into our removal van. Our team used safe lifting methods and heavy-duty equipment to handle bulky items such as the sofa and armchair, ensuring the safety of both the client’s belongings and our crew.

Day 3: The Move to Norway

The third day was dedicated to the journey from Greenford to Norway. Our team was well prepared for the long distance move:

  • Secure Transport: The truck was strategically loaded with heavier items at the base and fragile items on top to prevent damage.
  • Monitoring and Updates: We kept Olva informed at each stage of the journey so he knew exactly where we were and when to expect delivery.
  • Customs and Regulations: Our team handled all necessary customs paperwork, ensuring a smooth and trouble-free border crossing.

Norway is not in the EU, so it has its own customs authority, the Tolletaten, with its own forms and its own VAT system. Since Brexit, a shipment is export-cleared in the UK, travels through EU countries such as the Netherlands, Germany or Denmark under transit documents, and then clears Norwegian customs at the border, with a Transfer of Residence declaration for household goods. Our removals to Norway page explains each step.

Day 4: Setup in Norway

The final day was reserved for unloading and setting up Olva's new home in Norway. Our team arrived on time to bring Olva's vision of his new home to life:

  • Careful Unloading: Every item was carefully offloaded from the truck, ensuring nothing was damaged during the process.
  • Furniture Assembly: We reassembled the double bed, dining table, and other items, placing them in their respective rooms.
  • Placement and Organisation: Working closely with Olva, we placed each piece of furniture and box according to his instructions, ensuring his new home was set up just as he wanted.

Olva's move from Greenford to Norway went smoothly and was successfully completed within the planned four-day timeline.
