How it started

Nobody quite remembers when grandfather Feitsma started.

Feitsma Verhuizingen is a Haarlem family business that has been moving people since 1927, now in its third generation. We have carried out more than 50,000 removals by our own estimate, with our own people and our own equipment, we are an Erkende Verhuizer (the Dutch recognised-mover accreditation) and we insure your household contents and both homes up to 100,000 euros with no excess.

Feitsma Verhuizingen has been a familiar name in Haarlem for a long time. So long, in fact, that nobody quite remembers when grandfather Feitsma first started moving people. The earliest Feitsma adverts in the Haarlems Dagblad date from 1930. For the sake of simplicity we put the founding year at 1927.

Then and now

The name stayed, and so did the way we work.

Since then the name has stayed and a fair amount else has changed. What stayed the same is the way we work: people from the neighbourhood, equipment we own ourselves, and a removal you do not have to arrange yourself.

Practice makes perfect

More than 50,000 removals, passed from generation to generation.

Over all those years we have carried out more than 50,000 removals in Haarlem and the surrounding area by our own estimate, with the craft of moving passed from generation to generation. We feel safe saying that we know our trade and that your household contents are in good hands with us.

The trade is in the details: knowing how a sofa turns a corner, which cabinet does and does not need taking apart, and when the moving lift beats the stairwell.

A quote does not have to take weeks

Even so, removal company Feitsma moves with the times. You choose how you get to a price: entirely through your phone, or simply with someone sitting at your table.

Or a home survey of 20 minutes

Our relocation adviser is happy to call round for a personal home survey. The adviser estimates the volume of your household contents and looks at what the removal involves. The visit takes about 20 minutes and you usually have the quote in hand the same day.

Roughly what you are taking with you

How many cubic metres are your household contents?

The number of cubic metres decides much of the price. These guide figures are the ones we use ourselves as a first estimate, before the adviser measures properly.

15 to 20 m³

Single person

A flat or studio with a normal amount of furniture and boxes.

25 to 30 m³

Couple without children

Two people, a furnished living room, a bedroom and usually a storage room.

40 to 45 m³

Family with 2 children

A family house with children's rooms, an attic and a garden. The most common removal.

Price indication Around € 2,700 including VAT

That is the rate for a removal of 40 m³, the average household contents of a family with 2 children, from one family house to another in the same neighbourhood. The cost depends on the number of cubic metres, the distance between the old and the new home and the type of property. Work out your own removal costs.

Moving boxes Free on loan

With us you get your moving boxes free on loan. We drop them off at your home and collect them again after the removal. Our boxes are a good deal sturdier than the ones you buy at a DIY shop. More about our moving boxes.

We move private households, businesses and seniors, and we also offer a packing service, international removals, furniture delivery, household storage and assembly and dismantling. Our working area runs from Haarlem and Amsterdam to Hoofddorp, Heemstede, Aerdenhout, Bloemendaal, Zandvoort, Alkmaar, Amstelveen and Zaanstad; the full list is on our working area page. Our moving blog answers the practical questions, and if your question is not covered here, have a look at the frequently asked questions, and if something does go wrong, the complaints procedure explains how we put it right.

Doing our bit

A tree for every removal and every delivery.

We plant a tree in the Feitsma forest at Tree Nation for every removal and every delivery we do. We are also replacing all our vans with electric ones, items being cleared out are reused wherever possible and we separate our waste. Our sustainability page shows what that adds up to.
