Beijing Moving Services to Ease The Pain

Moving sucks. In an ideal world – i.e. the magical and ultimately unrealistic world of the silver screen – you’d pack two suitcases and bid a cheery farewell before heading off to start your next chapter. However, the reality is, after you have been living in Beijing for a couple of years (and happen to be a hoarder), moving and packing can be a real pain in the arse. Fortunately, several companies around the city can help you to reduce the burden.

Stone Logistics, founded in 1994, has a team of 800 employees and 170 vehicles, and offers domestic moving, office relocation, as well as packing and unpacking services. The staff is trustworthy, friendly, and efficient. The minimum charge is RMB 168 per van or RMB 320 per truck, with extra fees depending on distance, special packing requirements, and flights of stairs.

Likang offers office relocation and personal moving services, starting from RMB 300 to 350. Prices vary according to distance, floors, expensive furniture, and packing services. Rich kids can go for the fixed RMB 1,500 package, which includes packing, unpacking, and moving services.

Final tip: Always be honest about the number of boxes, fragile items, and floors the movers will have to carry your belongings so as to get a fixed price before moving. This will  prevent you from being ripped off or facing unexpected costs.
