2020 was a busy year for European relocations at Happy2Move, with many clients trusting us to safely move their belongings from the UK to France. One memorable move involved relocating a customer from a 1-bedroom flat in Chelsea to their new home on Boulevard Lefebvre in Paris. Despite the challenges of the lockdown, this move was smooth and efficient, leaving the client thrilled with our service.

The Challenge

While this move was relatively straightforward, it still required careful attention to detail:

  • Export Packing: Every item needed to be securely packed for the long-distance journey.
  • Cross-Border Logistics: Traveling internationally in 2020 meant navigating restrictions and protocols.
  • Timely Execution: Coordinating the packing, transport, and delivery to ensure a stress-free experience for the client.

Our Solution

Strategic Approach

Happy2Move tackled this move with an organised plan to ensure everything went smoothly:

  1. Professional Export Packing: The team carefully packed all items the afternoon before the move, using high-quality materials to protect the client’s belongings.
  2. Efficient Loading: The van was expertly loaded in Chelsea, securing the packed items for transport.
  3. Route Coordination: Early the next morning, the team began the journey, traveling from London to Dover, crossing the Channel via ferry from Dover to Calais, and then continuing to Paris. The reduced traffic due to lockdown restrictions made the drive hassle-free.
  4. Seamless Unloading: Upon arrival at Boulevard Lefebvre, the team unloaded the items carefully, placing everything exactly where the client wanted.

The Results

The move was completed efficiently and without any complications:

  • Timely Delivery: The client’s belongings arrived in perfect condition and on schedule.
  • Customer Satisfaction: The client was so pleased with the service that they gave the team a generous tip as a thank-you for their hard work.
  • Stress-Free Experience: From packing to unloading, the process was smooth, giving the client complete peace of mind.

Why It Matters for You

Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom flat or an entire household, Happy2Move ensures a stress-free relocation. With meticulous export packing, expert logistics, and seamless execution, we make your European move simple and reliable—even during challenging times.
