Hello everyone, Does anyone have information about an inexpensive yet good and reliable moving company in Basel? Only need to move some items within the same apartment building from the 2nd floor to the attic (no elevator) and a few pieces of furniture to a different location by bus/truck. Thanks much for your help. JG

Hi, i can recommend an EXCELLENT moving company - top speed removals - i have used them twice, recommended to my freinds who have all been very pleased indeed with them and they are cheaper than others (to reassure you i both move times got 3 companies to come over and quote me, these guys were by far the fairest)
http://www.tsr-umzuege.ch/ or call and speak to Mr. Kilim - 076 267 1070 - i think he speaks english, i only ever spoke german to him though but i know he moved a thai friend of mine with no problem and she speaks no german. i've also used thses guys for picking up furniture from ikea etc. as they are still waaaay cheaper than the delivery costs furniture stores charge.

please say to him Charlotte recommended him...it will be in your favour ;-)
good luck!

This is also a very reasonable comapny. I have used them 3 times and was very pleased on each occassion:

Thanks to both of you. I am awaiting quotes.

Mr. Kilim speaks very good English.

The job is now done by TSR moving my stuff from Basel to Germany (about 250km). They were very efficient. Mr. Kilim seems very much on the ball. Only one glass got broken in the move, but that was more my fault for leaving it loose. Oh, and my cheapo umbrella got bent but I can live with that.

I was initially trying to get PackImpex to do the move but with the office in Basel only being open in the mornings and my contact there only being available in the afternoons then it was a bit inconvenient.

I am not sure if TSR do long moves but if you are in north west Switzerland and you are not moving far then I highly recommend them.

Hi,
I used TSR this weekend and was very happy with their service .... highly recommended ... and I would certainly use them again.

Thanks Charlotte.

Hi,

I had pretty bad experince with TSR transport.
First, they were quick in moving but at the cost of damaged furniture.
Second,they damaged new furniture during the installation. They broke some screws during installation and never fixed it back. They also took the installation guide with them, so I was unable to get the screws from the furniture store. When I tried to call them, they said they didn't take the books.Pretty bad experience. I'd suggest to have the installation done by furniture store.
