5cubicmeters.jpg

To understand the size of 5 cubic meters, it’s important to visualize the dimensions and compare them to everyday objects. In terms of volume, 5 cubic meters is equivalent to 176 cubic feet. In a visual sense, imagine 40 boxes, each measuring 50 centimetres deep, 50 centimetres tall, and 50 centimetres wide. This will give you a clear picture of how much space 5 cubic meters occupies.

Key Takeaways:

  • 5 cubic meters is equivalent to 176 cubic feet.
  • Visualize it as 40 boxes measuring 50cm x 50cm x 50cm.
  • Understanding the size is practical for everyday comparisons.
  • It’s a common unit for removals and transportation.

moving_to_berlin.jpg

A few months ago, our company MyCheapRemovals had the opportunity to move a client from the east of England to Berlin, Germany.

Our client did not know how to convert her belongings into storage capacity (m3). Fortunately, our customer service knew how to help immediately and suggested that the client send a list of things to be included in the move. Our customer service department, after consulting the transport office, decided that the best and most advantageous option would be to offer the customer 10 m3. To be sure, we have sent the customer the Inventory file for additional checks. It turned out that after the customer completes the form, the order is around 10m3.

moving_to_germany_after_brexit.jpg

Many people living in the UK were looking at a move to Germany and are now wanting to know what has changed regarding removals to Germany after Brexit.

Removals to Germany after the Brexit transition period is closed. You will probably find the entire process of removal to Germany will become more complicated and costly to complete.

It also becomes slightly more complicated to gain resident status and to be able to work in Germany after Brexit. You will need a work visa or resident status. This makes a move to Germany from the UK a bit more complicated in 2021 onwards,  however, moving to Germany from the UK is still achievable with MyCheapRemovals’ help.

Removals to Paris – price guide.

If you moving to Paris from the UK, here at MyCheapRemovals you can get an instant removal quote, however, as we are always honest about prices we prepared a small price guide. It helps you with planning your budget well in advance and also we can guarantee that we won’t be beaten on price. There are three main reasons why we can offer the most competitive prices:

  1. All goods are pre-packed by a customer – it saves a lot of costs in manpower, usually calculated based on hours and total volume.
  2. Predefined volumes – small removals – which is equivalent to 5 or 10 cubic meters or large removals – 15 or 30 cubic meters. The last option is also called “dedicated service” which guarantees the fastest delivery time.
  3. No middleman – MyCheapRemovals has a fleet of more than 40 vans and lorries, so we don’t have to pay any fees or commissions.

There is actually another factor – as we frequently cross the English Channel we managed to get a very good deal with ferry operators, so we get discounted prices.
