Why is moving so expensive?
Is an affordable move actually possible in Finland? In short: yes it is. But it requires: smart equipment, efficient working, honest pricing, and that items are not transported like a disaster zone. Examples of the Bombshell reality: moving a studio apartment averages €195, moving a three-room apartment €250, without breaking your belongings or your nerves. 💥 We don't blow up your stuff. 💥 We blow up bad prices.

Moving. A word that makes many wallets sweat even before a single box has been taped shut.
Many ask quite rightly: why is moving so expensive, and is an affordable move really possible in Finland?
Short answer: yes, it is possible.
Long answer: keep reading – absolutely bombproof! 💥
1. Moving costs because the work is physically demanding (and someone has to do it)
Let's start honestly.
Moving is not just "lifting a few boxes and driving a van". It is:
heavy furniture
stairs (lots of stairs)
cramped elevators or no elevator at all
washing machines that weigh more than Eeli's peace of mind on a Monday
When you are looking for an affordable move, you are still paying for someone to carry these things for you – often for several hours straight.
👉 A cheap move is not the same thing as a bad move.
👉 An affordable move means smart pricing.
2. Most of the moving bill is not even driving
This surprises many.
People often think:
“Well, that's only a 10 km distance, why does this cost so much?”
But in reality:
70–80% of the time goes into loading and unloading
driving is often the easiest part
every floor, staircase, and turn is reflected in the amount of work
Therefore, an affordable move doesn't come from driving cheaply – but from planning the load wisely.
At Pomminvarmat, this means:
the right size of equipment for every job: van, truck.
one big truck, or an affordable short-distance move with a smaller van.
goods are packed so that support comes from the items themselves, not the straps 😁.
💥 We don't blow up the price – we pack better.
3. Many pay too much because they don't know how much stuff they actually have
This is a classic.
Studio apartment:
“I don't really have much at all”
The reality:
25 moving boxes
a bed
a sofa
a washing machine
a cabinet that hasn't been opened since 2014
When the volume of goods is underestimated, the price changes too.
👉 An affordable move comes from a correct estimate, not a guess.
Pomminvarmat:
asks the right questions
estimates the load beforehand
tells you straight: does it fit or not
If it doesn't fit, we say it before the van is full and stress levels explode.
4. Extra charges – the hidden bombs of moving
Many moving jobs get more expensive due to these:
extra floor fee
extra hours
extra carrying
extra waiting
extra… well, everything
That's why many feel that the move "got out of hand".
An affordable move doesn't mean the cheapest starting price, but rather that:
you know what you are paying for
you don't face surprises
the final sum doesn't explode
Our bombproof philosophy:
We do everything that needs to be done – without digging deeper into your pockets with extra fees.
5. Is an affordable move really possible in Finland?
In short: yes it is.
But it requires:
smart equipment
efficient working
honest pricing
and that goods are not handled like a bomb went off
Examples of reality with Pomminvarmat:
without goods or nerves breaking down
💥 We don't blow up your stuff.
💥 We blow up the bad prices.
Summary: why moving is expensive – and how it can be affordable
Moving costs money because:
the work is heavy
time costs money
equipment costs money
poor planning costs the most
An affordable move happens when:
the load is estimated correctly
everything fits at once
the work is done efficiently
the pricing is honest
And finally, the most important part:
👉 If you want a move handled like it's done by a superhero – but without superhero prices…
