A move is ten small jobs pretending to be one. Packing, carrying, loading, driving, unloading, carrying again. The price you get and the day you have both depend on how clearly those ten jobs are described before anyone shows up.
Make the inventory once, use it everywhere
Walk through your home with your phone and list what actually moves: the big pieces by name (wardrobe, fridge, washing machine, sofa), the number of boxes roughly, anything unusually heavy or fragile. Photograph the big items. This list is your post, your price basis and your end-of-day checklist all at once.
The two stair questions
Every mover asks them, so answer them upfront: which floor at each end, and is there a working lift? A fourth floor without a lift is not a detail — it is often half the price. If the truck cannot park at the door, say how far it will stand.
Agree what happens to the furniture
Who dismantles the wardrobe and who reassembles it? Are blankets and straps the mover's job? Is packing included, or are you handing over sealed boxes? These three answers, written in the chat, prevent almost every moving-day argument.
Timing
End of month and weekends are rush hour for movers. If you can move mid-week, say the date is flexible and let the offers reflect it. Confirm the arrival time the day before, and keep essentials — documents, chargers, kettle — in your own bag, not in the truck.
Where Brikoula fits
Post the move once with your inventory, floors and date, and moving teams around you send offers you can compare — truck size, crew, price, and reviews from families who moved before you. The mover spends coins to unlock your contact details, so posting costs you nothing. A clear inventory gets you a firm price instead of a surprise.
