Moving furniture in Oslo, Lillestrøm, Asker or Bærum? This checklist helps you prepare it properly before pickup and transport.

Whether it's being picked up from a store, a private seller, or moved to a new address, transport goes more smoothly when the furniture's ready beforehand. This checklist covers what actually makes a difference - not just the obvious stuff - before we pick up and deliver in Oslo, Lillestrøm, Asker, and Bærum.

• Empty drawers and cabinets. Loose items inside can shift, tip, or damage the piece during transport.

• Secure loose parts. Shelves, glass panels, or removable pieces should be taken out or taped down so they can't move.

• Disassemble large pieces if you can. A coffee table with removable legs, or a bed frame that separates from the headboard, takes up less space and is safer to carry.

• Measure doorways, hallways, and stairs the item needs to pass through - both where it's picked up and where it's delivered. Especially important if you're also booking moving help.

• Cover delicate surfaces - blankets or wrap protect against scratches and knocks.

• Pack glass and mirrors separately, ideally upright and well padded, never flat with weight on top.

• Mark fragile items clearly, so it's obvious they need careful handling.

• Clear the path from the door to where the item's being collected or set down, so there's nothing to trip over.

• Add protection at tight corners or door frames where the item could easily scrape against a wall.

• Let us know about pets or kids who should be kept clear during the actual carrying.

• Stay reachable by phone during the time window, in case we need to check on access or parking.

• Have any authorization or order confirmation ready if the item's being collected from a store or warehouse.

• Show us the tightest point along the route in, especially if you've booked moving help - that way we can quickly judge if something needs to go in at an angle or be taken apart further.
