Answers to common questions before, during and after a move with us – from price and deadlines to packing tips, documents and memberships.
It depends on how much you are moving, how far, how easy it is to carry things out and in, and whether you want help with packing, storage or taking furniture apart and putting it back together. Summer and weekends are in highest demand and can cost more.
Send a moving request, and you'll get a specific price and date. The request is non-binding.
The price is based on what you tell us. If there are more items than you stated, or access is more difficult than described, the price may change. That's why it pays to use the calculator – it works out the volume from the items you tap in.
Many of the people we send quotes to have their move paid for by their employer, NAV or others. Tell us when you send the moving request, and you'll get a written quote you can pass on.
The person who orders the move pays for it. If your employer or NAV covers the move, you pay us and get the money back from them afterwards. NAV pays relocation support to you after the move, not to the removal company. Your NAV application or the agreement with your employer must be in place before you move.
The requirements vary. If you are a state employee, quotes must be obtained from at least three registered removal companies, and the cheapest is used (the special agreement on coverage of moving costs in the state sector, 2025–2026). If you receive relocation support from NAV, you need two written quotes, and the lowest is covered. You must apply before you move (nav.no). In municipalities and private companies it varies, so ask your employer.
Compare quotes that cover the same thing: the same amount to move, any interim storage and carrying out and in. Then you can see which one is actually cheapest.
If you are selling your home, the move can also be paid for out of the sale settlement.
It depends on how far you are moving. For a local move, we recommend contacting us at least two weeks before your preferred moving date. If you are moving between southern and northern Norway, or the other way, allow plenty of time – normally around one month in advance. If the move is to or from another country, get in touch even earlier, as international moves require extra documentation and planning.
Not sure what applies to your move? Send us a moving request, and we'll reply with a price and when the move can be done.
A little planning in advance saves you both time and damage along the way:
Moving boxes are sold at Biltema, Clas Ohlson, Europris, IKEA, Jula and Rusta, among others, and the chains often have good prices. Several of them sell boxes in packs of five or ten, which makes each box cheaper. Prices change, so check your local store before you buy.
If you are packing glasses and bottles, there are inserts with dividers that fit inside the box.
When you send the moving request, you add the boxes under “Moving boxes” – with kitchen items, clothes, books or other. We count 0.1 per box, so 20 boxes take up about 2 m³ in the removal truck.
If you are moving to Norway from abroad, you need a (a Norwegian Customs form). When moving to or from another country, it's also a good idea to have a copy of your passport ready and a complete of what is being moved.
Also remember to report your move to Posten and the National Population Register. On posten.no you can do both in one notification, and post is forwarded free of charge for twelve months. The National Population Register must receive the notification no earlier than 31 days before and no later than 8 days after you have moved (skatteetaten.no).
You fill in a moving request with us – the volume calculator works out how much needs moving. Tell us where and when as well, and you'll get a specific quote back, not a guess.

A measure of how much space something takes up. One cubic metre is as much space as a crate one metre long, one metre wide and one metre high.
ExampleIn our calculator, ten moving boxes take up about 1 m³. A double bed takes 2 m³ – as much space as twenty boxes.
