Dachser & Kolb

We sent a small load of furniture from Baden-Baden, Germany to Hartford, CT, USA for a price of over Euro 6000. The move went fine, with the expected small issues regarding timing, communications and furniture condition. No complaints overall.

However, to our surprise, an almost 15% surcharge was invoiced weeks after the move was completed. The move took about 9+ weeks, while the surcharge came an additional 6 weeks later. It included a new 15% pre-payment fee and another Euro 50 administrative fee although the entire initial invoice was prepaid weeks before the move was initiated and completed. This type of billing does not instill a lot of confidence in the accounting practices of Dachser & Kolb.

A really professional moving company. Our move was managed by Peter, Richard and colleagues to our complete satisfaction. All pieces of furniture were loaded and rebuilt by the two with the utmost consideration for floors and walls without damage. All pieces of furniture were carefully wrapped in several layers of ceilings and foil. We were also particularly surprised by the cleanliness, because after each drilling and sawing for kitchen and lamps, the workplace was immediately vacuumed or swept. Despite the stress, everyone had a friendly atmosphere during the move. The kitchen was also rebuilt super quickly and thoroughly by Mohamed, so we can really only recommend this company!

We moved from Upper Bavaria to the Rhineland and were completely disappointed by Dachser and Kolb. The "planning" and implementation of our move was a disaster. The specified schedule was not adhered to, nor was the work carried out to the end. When the on-site subcontractor noticed that he couldn't get by with the sum agreed with Dachser because dachser & kolb obviously made the wrong calculations, he simply ended the work. Days later, after we had to do our own work, part of the work was continued. We unpacked 130 of 200 boxes ourselves, lamps that had been dismantled from a ceiling height of 4m could suddenly not be reassembled to the same ceiling height because there was not a sufficient ladder and "you can't mount lamps at such a height as a matter of principle" For all shortcomings were then given such outrageous excuses. Almost all the boxes were not labeled correctly and were therefore wrongly put away because they were unpacked by other employees. Despite the online inspection, for which we traveled extra, too little loading volume was calculated so that part of our furniture had to remain on site and was only delivered four weeks later, but this additional volume was still invoiced. We have put a lot of effort into the furniture list and the layout plan for both the old and the new apartment as support and are bitterly disappointed, especially with regard to the lack of understanding and goodwill of the Dachser & Kolb company. To make matters worse, there was damage during the move of over €700, which we are now supposed to be replaced at a current value of €90, partly because we allegedly reported some damage too late. But some of the goods to be moved are still weeks away remained at the old place of residence and the majority of the boxes had to be unpacked by us one by one, the question arises as to how the damage and loss of removal goods should be noticed earlier?!?Despite the great annoyance and weeks of frustration we had with the move Nothing in this review is exaggerated or subjective out of anger, no matter what the company Dachser & Kolb replies to this entry here.If you make mistakes, you should also admit them and react accordingly. PS The €90 insurance regulation only applies if you commit to deleting entries like this one. PPS Last but not least, a compliment to the kitchen team, they did a good job.

The inspection and cost estimation took place online via WhatsApp, which was very structured and easy to use. Dachser & Kolb works with partner companies, which is why we were a bit curious about what to expect. On the day of the move, 4 young men (from India/Pakistan) with 2 big sprinters showed up punctually. Packing, loading and unloading was perfect! Carefully, thoughtfully and quickly. And for the move from 53340 Meckenheim to 77974 Meissenheim (355 km) also inexpensive.

I would like to express my sincere enthusiasm and satisfaction with the company Dachser and Kolb from Kempten.

For our move from Atlanta to Germany, I contacted Dachser&Kolb in Kempten. Their pricing was kept transparent. The quoted door/door price was in the upper high-price segment. A top service was offered for this: high-quality, seaworthy packaging materials, professional moving teams on both sides, excellent communication with the transport coordination in Koblenz. The door/door transport took about 6 weeks, including customs clearance in Bremerhaven. With our almost 400 packages, there was only one complaint, which is now being processed in Kempten. I will be happy to come back to Dachser&Kolb for future relocation projects. Unreservedly recommended!
