Milan–Lugano removals
From Milan to Lugano, even a short journey requires attention to customs and access. We arrange furniture moves between the pedestrian centre, hillside neighbourhoods and new homes.
The journey from Milan to Lugano
The short distance between Milan and Ticino does not remove the need for customs preparation. The route and border crossing, including around Chiasso and Brogeda, are planned after the documents have been checked.
- The survey assesses furniture, volume, fragile items and any dismantling required.
- Collection and delivery dates are coordinated with the availability of both homes.
Pedestrian centre and hillside roads
- Via Nassa and Piazza della Riforma: check access arrangements and permitted times in pedestrian areas.
- Castagnola and Ruvigliana: consider narrow roads, gradients and space for the vehicle.
- Collina d’Oro: check routes within properties and assess whether shuttle vehicles are needed.
Packing and inventory
Protection is chosen according to the materials, fragility and transport route. Custom crates and specialist packing are considered for artwork, glass and delicate items.
- List the belongings to be transported and identify any particularly valuable items.
- Label packages and keep the components of dismantled furniture together.
Documents, parking and permits
For household goods bound for Switzerland, we check the procedure involving form 18.44, the inventory and moving documents. Duty relief depends on the applicable requirements; border inspections and delays cannot be ruled out.
Delivery, assembly and storage between homes
Any furniture lift requires checks on the ground, gradient and building access. Dismantling, reassembly and alterations are agreed during the survey.
If your new home is not ready, you can request furniture storage in Milan. The storage period, conditions and subsequent delivery are agreed before collection.
A quote tailored to the route
Send the addresses, preferred dates and photographs or an inventory of your furniture. The quote should specify the work included and any services provided by local partners.
- Required transport, packing, dismantling and assembly.
- Any shuttle vehicles, furniture lifts, permits and storage charges.
- Applicable cover, limits, excesses and exclusions to check in the service documents.
Can you deliver to a narrow hillside road?
The address must be assessed first: road width, gradients and manoeuvring space may require a smaller vehicle or additional handling.
Can the survey take place by video call?
You can request an initial video assessment by providing images of your furniture and access points. Any technical details that remain unclear must be checked before confirmation.
Can I also request furniture dismantling?
Yes, dismantling and reassembly can be agreed in the quote. Bespoke furniture or alterations require photographs, measurements and a technical assessment.
What if my new home is not ready?
We can assess furniture storage in Milan and schedule delivery for a later date, agreeing the duration, conditions and costs.
What affects the price of a move?
It depends on volume, transport method, access, packing, assembly and additional services. The quotation follows an assessment of your specific move.
