Getting there and how it works in the canton of Appenzell Outer Rhodes

Distances: straight line × 1.35, rounded to 5 km.

Herisau is about 60 km from Winterthur; depending on the schedule, the team sets off from Spreitenbach or Winterthur. We usually carry out the survey by video call, for large households and businesses on site. Outside the cantons of Aargau and Zurich, extra travel time may be added depending on the distance, for example one hour – whether and how much is stated in the quote beforehand. For larger households on long distances we use two vehicles so that as few trips as possible are needed over the distance; on request we use one vehicle and more hours. Single pieces of furniture travel, where possible, as part load on a trip that is already planned.
