Packing up a Dunkirk household often means dozens of boxes travelling alongside a few pieces that need extra care, such as a dining table or wardrobe. The van that copes with bulk isn't always the one that protects fragile items best. Tell us the box count and what's delicate before booking.

Measure the load and check both addresses
Plan van hire in Dunkirk
A few straightforward details separate a simple box run from a household move that also carries breakable furniture.
Count the boxes
Give an approximate number of boxes and their general size, since stacking height affects how much floor space the load actually needs.
List fragile pieces separately
Note anything breakable, such as glass-fronted cabinets or mirrors, apart from the general box count so loading order can be planned around it.
Plan the loading order
A sound Dunkirk enquiry records what needs moving, sensible dimensions for bulky items, access at both ends and the hire period. Bring the details to the comparison so the listed groups can be discussed properly.
Allow for combined volume
Boxes and furniture together can fill more space than either group alone, so consider the whole load's total volume before choosing a size.

Van Hire questions
Will one van cope with both my boxes and a few pieces of furniture?
Often yes, provided the combined volume and weight fit within one van's floor space and payload. Describe both the box count and the furniture so we can check this together.
Should fragile furniture travel in a separate part of the van from the boxes?
Include what needs moving, sensible dimensions for bulky items, access at both ends and the hire period in the Dunkirk request. The team will use the information to compare the examples shown before recording the offered category.
What should I check before adding a storage stop to the move?
Confirm the storage booking, unit access, opening arrangements and unloading rules with the facility. The van hire and storage contract are separate.
