How much does a removal cost?
There is no single price list that fits everyone, because every removal is different. A quote depends on the volume of belongings, the distance between the two homes, the floor level of the properties and the resulting need for specific equipment to handle loads at height, such as a hoist ladder or goods lift, and the level of service chosen: from transport only to a full turnkey service, with packing and unpacking of all furniture. Access conditions also count, since historic centres and narrow streets call for dedicated vehicles and arrangements. When a permit to occupy public land is needed we handle it: we manage the formalities with the municipal authorities and put up no-parking signs to reserve the space for the vans and the hoist ladder. That is why a quote always follows a free survey, the only way to assess every variable and give you a clear, tailored figure with no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about removals
How much does a removal cost?
There is no standard cost: it depends on volume, distance, floor level and the equipment needed to handle loads at height, the level of service and the access conditions. That is precisely why a reliable quote always follows a survey, the only way to assess every variable. The FERCAM survey is free and with no obligation.
Are belongings insured during the removal? What is the difference between carrier's liability and All Risk?
Yes, your belongings are always protected, but it is worth knowing the difference between two levels of cover. Carrier's liability is the cover required by law from the carrier, with compensation calculated within limits set by weight, and therefore not necessarily equal to the real value of the items. All Risk cover, by contrast, insures belongings for their declared value and offers far broader protection in the event of damage or loss. The insured value is set by you, as the owner of the goods: we support you with clear advice on the options and their costs.
How do I recognise a reputable removals firm?
The signs of reliability are concrete and verifiable: a legitimate company issues a written quote and an invoice, is registered on the Italian Register of Hauliers (Albo degli Autotrasportatori), offers clear insurance cover on belongings and employs its own trained staff. Be wary of anyone offering only verbal agreements or figures that are too low without even a survey. FERCAM Removals & Relocation operates with the solidity of the FERCAM Group, FAIM certification for international removals and traceable procedures at every stage.
Self storage or a removals firm's storage — which is better?
It depends on how much you want to handle yourself. With self storage you rent a space and manage transport, loading and safekeeping yourself. With a removals firm's storage, instead, your belongings are collected, packed, inventoried and kept in a guarded warehouse, ready to be returned when needed: the more convenient choice during the move between the old and the new home or during renovation work. During the survey we assess volumes, duration and arrangements, and propose the option tailored to you.
Is it better to ship furniture abroad or buy new?
This is one of the most common questions before a move, and the answer depends on the value, the bulk and the significance of the items. It is often worth shipping what has sentimental value or a quality hard to find at destination, and considering buying locally for bulky furniture that is easy to source. With a shared container (LCL groupage) even bringing a few pieces is affordable. During the survey we can help you work out what is worth moving.
Is a large operator or a local removals firm better?
Each option has its strengths. A local firm knows the area well; a structured operator adds a network, vehicles, comprehensive insurance cover and the ability to manage domestic and international moves through a single point of contact. FERCAM Removals & Relocation combines the two: teams present in 10 Italian cities, trusted partners all over the world and the solidity of a group active for many decades, with the historic brands Gondrand and Vinelli & Scotto.
What is the difference between a private and a corporate removal?
A private removal concerns the home and aims at a turnkey service that reduces stress, from packing to reassembling the furniture. Here we do not just move personal effects, but personal attachments: we step into the intimacy of a family, so the difference is made by the sensitivity, courtesy and professionalism of the people carrying out the work. A corporate removal involves offices, sites, archives or production lines, where the priority is to reduce operational downtime: here a planned schedule, operations on closing days and the handling of furniture, equipment and sensitive materials all come into play. FERCAM handles both segments with dedicated teams.
Does FERCAM also handle international removals?
Yes. We manage door-to-door removals to and from any country, by land, sea and air, with FAIM (FIDI Accredited International Mover) certification and a global network of agents. Alongside the move we provide relocation and immigration services, to support those moving through every step of the change of country.
Dedicated (FCL) or shared (LCL/groupage) container for a sea move?
To move your belongings by sea you can choose between a dedicated container (FCL), entirely at your disposal, and groupage or a shared container (LCL), which makes it affordable to move small volumes too by sharing the space with other shipments. The choice depends on the quantity of belongings and the timing: the dedicated option is faster and private, the shared option better suited to those moving a few items.
Does FERCAM offer storage for furniture?
Yes. We provide guarded warehouses where belongings are packed, inventoried and kept safe for as long as needed, whether a few weeks or a longer period during renovation work or a move abroad. At the right moment we return them and reassemble them at destination.
