This helped me a lot.
I have realized, midstream in my move, that my ignorance is huge, despite the fact I have been to Switzerland all my life. You read the cookbook for what you must do only to find all kinds of details that turnout to be essential but would be unknown unless you had done it before.
For example, I still have no idea what is required of the household inventory that must be presented when bringing in personal effects. Dining room furniture? Dining table and six chairs? Wooden dining table, two fabric armchairs and four wooden chairs? In my case I am moving in three phases, but the entire inventory has to be presented for the first phase. Who knew? So I am holding up everything until I can get back to Geneva to meet with the Zoll and ask!
I loved your post. Thank you.
