Amazon Can Now Deliver Almost Anything – But Can It Move Your Life?
Amazon Ireland has just launched its new website, and if you thought impulse buying was bad before, wait until you see how easy it is now. With just one click, you can have anything from a smart fridge to a six-pack of socks at your door faster than you can say, “Do I really need this?”
But here’s the thing – when it comes to moving that fridge (or your entire home), next-day delivery just won’t cut it.
The Amazon Convenience vs. The Reality of Moving House
Amazon has revolutionised shopping in Ireland, making it easier than ever to get what you need. But let’s be honest – would you trust a drone to relocate your antique cabinet? Would you expect a self-checkout machine to disassemble your grand piano? Thought not.
Moving house isn’t just about getting stuff from A to B; it’s about logistics, timing, precision, and, most importantly, not losing your mind in the process. Here’s where Expert Removals comes in – we do what Amazon can’t.
The Emotional Side of Moving (Yes, It’s a Rollercoaster)
“New Home, Who Dis?” – The Thrill of a Fresh Start
There’s nothing quite like the rush of signing the lease or mortgage papers for a new place. You envision new furniture arrangements, your future self sipping coffee on a sun-drenched balcony, and maybe even finally getting around to that minimalist lifestyle (spoiler: you won’t).
“Why Do I Own This Much Stuff?” – The Reality Check
Then the moving prep starts, and suddenly, you’re questioning every life decision that led to you owning five sets of mismatched Tupperware lids. Studies show that the average person accumulates 300,000 items in their home. That’s a lot of bubble wrap.
“The Last Box Syndrome” – The Final Stretch
By the time you’re down to the last few boxes, it’s a battle of willpower. Do you meticulously pack up those last random cables and IKEA instruction manuals, or do you dramatically toss them into a bin bag and declare “freedom”?
This is why 88% of people find moving to be one of life’s most stressful events – even more stressful than getting divorced (no comment on whether the two are related).

The Hidden Costs of a DIY Move
Maybe you’re thinking, “I’ll just rent a van and do it myself.” That’s the moving equivalent of thinking you can cut your own hair – technically possible, but not advisable.
Consider this:
- Van rental in Dublin: €80-€150 per day
- Fuel costs: €50+
- Packing materials: €100 (minimum, unless you enjoy broken dishes)
- Hiring help (friends with pizza bribes): €50+ (or lifelong favours owed)
- Potential injury from lifting incorrectly: Priceless (or at least an A&E visit)
A professional move, on the other hand, is a fixed price, no hidden fees, and absolutely no risk of you pulling your back out.
The Most Googled Moving Questions (Answered!)
“How much does it cost to move house in Dublin?”
On average, moving a three-bedroom house in Dublin costs between €1,000 and €2,500, depending on distance, packing requirements, and complexity (i.e., how many flights of stairs and how many questionable DIY projects need undoing).
“How do I prepare for a move without losing my mind?”
- Declutter ruthlessly: If you haven’t used it in a year, you probably don’t need it.
- Label boxes like your life depends on it: “Miscellaneous” is not a label, it’s a problem.
- Hire professionals: Moving companies exist so you don’t have to risk a friendship-ending sofa-stuck-in-the-stairs situation.
“Do moving companies provide boxes and packing materials?”
Yes! At Expert Removals, we provide sturdy, high-quality boxes, packing tape, and protective wraps. Because nothing says “stress” like realising mid-move that your shoebox tower isn’t structurally sound.
Why Expert Removals is Ireland’s Answer to Stress-Free Moving
While Amazon is great for impulse buys and next-day deliveries, we’re the people you call when you need the big stuff moved – pianos, sofas, priceless heirlooms, or that unnecessarily large book collection you’ve sworn you’ll read someday.
We handle office moves, home relocations, furniture clearance, and even delicate moves for hotels and businesses. Our team doesn’t just lift; we plan, execute, and make sure everything arrives intact and stress-free.
Final Thought: Amazon Can’t Move Your Life – But We Can
So, while you can now order a new kettle, an entire dining set, and a life-size cardboard cutout of The Rock with next-day delivery, Amazon won’t be there when it’s time to move your actual house.
For everything Amazon can’t move, call the real experts – Expert Removals.
