Route logistics

Distance from Amsterdam to Barcelona is about 1,600 km. Transit time for groupage (consolidated) cargo is 5–7 workdays. For full truck loads (FTL) we can arrange direct delivery in 2–3 days. Your shipment is consolidated with other cargo to optimize cost. The chargeable basis is the highest of: actual m³ volume (length × width × height in meters), gross weight (kg converted to m³ using a 333 kg/m³ ratio), LDM (1 LDM = 1m of truck floor length at 2.4m width, equal to 1.8 m³), or pallet count (standard EUR pallet = 1.2 m³). For moves, we primarily use m³ because typical household goods are volume-heavy. We always calculate each dimension and bill the greater one — ensuring fair pricing for both dense and bulky items.

How the price is calculated

Our tables show rates for three common units: m³, kg, and LDM. Use the m³ table if you can measure your cargo in cubic meters (e.g., stacked boxes). The kg table is for dense shipments like machinery or books where weight exceeds volume. LDM is for long items like pipes or large furniture that take up truck floor length. Each table has tiers: higher volumes/weights yield lower per-unit rates. A 5 m³ shipment costs €853, while 20 m³ costs €2,276. For mixed cargo, we apply the chargeable unit that results in the higher cost. Always check the m³ table first for moves; if your cargo is lighter than 333 kg per m³, m³ is cheaper. If heavier, kg table applies.

Moving by rooms

We translate typical apartment sizes into m³ as a rough guide. A 1‑room apartment is about 12 m³ (€1,366), a 2‑room about 22 m³ (€2,504), a 3‑room about 32 m³ (€3,642). These are estimates — actual volume depends on furniture type and packing. A studio is around 8 m³ (€1,024). Use these to get a ballpark cost, then adjust based on your actual inventory. The m³ table is more precise. Never book solely on room count; we measure your cargo to confirm the exact volume.

Individual items

Individual items like a double bed (2.2 m³) or a 3‑seater sofa (2.0 m³) each cost €853 if shipped alone. For several items, groupage is more economical: e.g., shipping 5 items totaling 10 m³ costs €1,138, not €853 each. The ‘item alone’ price is the minimum charge for a single piece. If your total volume reaches at least 5 m³, the m³ table gives better value. For small moves with just 1–2 items, the fixed €853 per item is the simplest option. We recommend grouping all belongings into one shipment to save cost.

Insurance

CMR liability is included in your Amsterdam–Barcelona shipment, but it covers only a fixed amount per kilogram — not the full replacement value of your goods. For a move with transport costs from 853 € to 2276 €, the cargo is often worth significantly more. Basic CMR may not cover scratches, breakage, or total loss of high-value items. Additional insurance fills that gap, protecting your electronics, furniture, or artworks at their real declared value. We recommend insuring anything that would be expensive or disruptive to replace. The extra premium is a small fraction of your shipping cost, and it gives you peace of mind. Choose full-value coverage if your belongings exceed the limited CMR threshold. That way, a damaged box or a lost pallet doesn't become a personal loss.

Customs and packing

Since both Amsterdam and Barcelona are within the EU (Netherlands to Spain), no customs formalities are required. However, if your cargo is imported from a non‑EU country to the Netherlands and then re‑exported to Spain, you need a T1 transit document and proof of origin. Packing: use sturdy double‑walled cardboard boxes, tape all seams, and label each box with contents and destination room. For furniture, wrap with bubble film and corrugated cardboard. Do not use newspaper as ink can transfer. Palletise heavy items on EUR pallets, shrink wrap, and secure with straps. We provide a detailed packing guide upon booking.
