Moving guide: How
to plan your move

Moving takes more than just moving boxes. With the right planning, moving day will be both easier and less stressful.

In this guide, we cover:

  • Planning your move
  • Storage during your move
  • Moving supplies
  • Moving boxes
  • Protecting fragile belongings
  • Change of address
  • Removal company or moving yourself
  • Smart packing tips

Plan your move well in advance

A successful move starts with a good plan. When you plan well in advance, it’s easier to stay organised and avoid stress as moving day approaches.

We recommend that you:

  • Create a moving schedule.
  • Book a removal company well in advance.
  • Order moving supplies in advance.
  • Arrange help on moving day.

Consider using a storage unit during your move

Things can quickly pile up during a move. A storage unit can be a great help if you’re moving over several days or don’t yet have space for all your belongings.

At Pelican Self Storage, you can store furniture, moving boxes and other belongings safely until you are ready to move them into your new home. We offer storage units from 0.5 m² to 50 m², so you can easily find a size that suits your needs.

Choose the right moving boxes

Moving boxes are among the most important things during a move. That is why you should choose sturdy, high-quality boxes that can withstand both weight and repeated use.

Choose moving boxes that:

  • can carry heavy items
  • are made from durable material
  • are a size that suits your belongings

At Pelican, you will find moving boxes of the best quality and in several sizes.

Protect fragile belongings

Glass, porcelain and electronics require extra protection during a move.

We recommend using:

  • Bubble wrap
  • Tissue paper
  • Moving blankets
  • Edge protectors

This reduces the risk of damage during transport. You can also find these materials in all Pelican stores.

Label all moving boxes

When the moving boxes are clearly labelled, unpacking becomes much easier.

For example, write:

  • Kitchen
  • Bathroom
  • Bedroom
  • Office
  • Fragile

This saves both time and frustration when you move in.

Remember to change your address

There are several practical things you need to remember when you move.

Make sure, among other things, to:

  • Report your move to the Civil Registration Office (Folkeregistret).
  • Inform your electricity provider.
  • Update your subscriptions.
  • Change the name on the mailbox.

The sooner you get these things in order, the easier the transition to your new home will be.

Removal company or DIY?

Consider which solution best suits your move.

For example, you can:

  • Move yourself.
  • Borrow a trailer.
  • Rent a moving van.
  • Hire a professional removal company.

At Pelican, we work with Express Flyt, so you can get help with your move at a favourable price when you rent a storage unit.

Pack your moving boxes smartly

Good packing protects your belongings and makes unpacking easier.

Remember to:

  • Pack heavy items in small boxes.
  • Pack light items in large boxes.
  • Fill empty spaces with paper or bubble wrap.
  • Pack a “first day” box with the most important items.

This makes the first few days in your new home much more manageable.

Make moving easier with Pelican

At Pelican, you will find everything you need for an easier move – whether you need extra space or the right moving supplies.

We offer, among other things:

  • Storage units from 0.5 to 50 m²
  • Moving boxes in several sizes

  • Free trailer loan (where available)
  • Partnerships with professional removal companies

Frequently asked questions about moving

What should you remember when you move?

When you move, there are several practical things to remember, such as changing your address, contacting your electricity provider, updating your subscriptions and making sure you have the right moving supplies. A good plan and a checklist make moving both easier and more manageable.

You must register your change of address via borger.dk no later than five days after you move. You can easily do this via borger.dk.

The cost of moving depends on the size of your home, the distance between addresses and whether you move yourself or use a removal company. Remember also to include costs for moving supplies, transport and any storage.

Most moves require moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, a tape dispenser and a marker pen. If you have fragile items, packing paper or moving blankets are also recommended for extra protection.

Pack heavy items in small moving boxes and lighter items in larger boxes. Fill empty spaces with paper or bubble wrap, and label all boxes with the contents and which room they belong to. This makes both moving and unpacking easier.

A storage unit can be a great help if you are short on space during your move, need to renovate your new home, or are moving over several days. At Pelican Self Storage, you can store your furniture and belongings safely until you are ready to move them into your new home.

Yes. At Pelican, we offer storage units in a range of sizes, moving supplies and free use of a trailer at selected locations. We also work with Express Flyt, so you can get help with your move at a discounted rate when you rent a storage unit with us.

It depends on the scope of the move. For larger moves or heavy furniture, a professional removal company can save both time and hassle. For smaller moves, you can often manage the task yourself with a trailer or a moving van.

Good planning is the key to a successful move. Pack well in advance, label all moving boxes clearly, protect fragile belongings, and make sure there is plenty of space to work. If you need extra space along the way, a storage unit can make moving both easier and more manageable.
