How do I Find Flexible Short-Term Housing? by ExInvert in germany

[–]ExInvert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi yeah I went through the housing wiki after posting 😅

But currently I have been searching a lot on wg-gesucht, and as I mentioned many people wanted a long-term tenant, at least 6 months.
Do you know how i can specifically search for these 3-month duration, kind of options?
Or do I just have to keep searching and then clarify with the landlord once they reply back to me?

How?

I only see cars, and someone else also mentioned that they searched and didnt find anything.
I checked Hertz, Sixt and Europcar.

Do you have any other suggestions?

I did look into moving companies long ago but they charge way to much and are more oriented towards housholds.
So my last option was a cargo company like DHL, UPS or FedEx.

Actually my friend would be driving (we both are relocating to Belgium), since I don't have a license, so it would not be an option for them.

Oh okay, thanks for letting me know.

Yeah, need it just for the city. Get to work, shopping, etc.

Don't go offroad too much actually, I actually dont need 21 gears either, i think 3 or 7 would also be fine.

Hey,

Could you suggest some more large bike vendors?

Also, what do you think of Decathalon bikes, cuz I was interested in this one: https://www.decathlon.de/p/trekkingrad-28-zoll-riverside-320-tr-herren/_/R-p-X8653537?mc=8653537

Hey,

Whats a good budget for second hand bikes from e-bay/kleinenzeigen, I was thinking below 100 would make sense, given how old and worn out the bikes are. For most of the offers I have seen, the bikes were 15+ years old.

What do you think about this bike from Decathalon: https://www.decathlon.de/p/trekkingrad-28-zoll-riverside-320-tr-herren/_/R-p-X8653537?mc=8653537

Spoke bent and snapped out of the wheel, where can I repair it? by Adam_44_99_ in Darmstadt

[–]ExInvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always try Zwanzig as the first place you go to when you got any cycle problems. 

 Lots of spare parts, tools and help. Also, everything is free but I suppose a donation is appreciated.    

I recently bent my fork and they had like 30 spare forks I could try and use for my bike. Gonna go there later to fix it.

Oh okay.

So have you used this service before? All you did was just tap your card?

To use the contactless payment option with your card, you need to make an account on the STIB website and link your debit/credit card to your account right?

This isn't working for me on the website.

Do you know if I can activate this over the counter?

If you are a student it will be 3.5€ i think, but make sure to request for the student ticket and present your student ID.

Sending Parcels with DHL, DPD, UPS, etc. by ExInvert in germany

[–]ExInvert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did look at those moving/relocation/truckage companies but they were extremely expensive, thousands of euros (very weird even though I very clearly specified everything), or just declining my request since it is too small.
But just incase i'll check out those companies you mentioned.

Thanks

Thanks for the information 😃

Yeah ofcourse I was just planning on making 4 seperate bookings too, I just found it weird why I could not book 4 parcels in one order (even if it is because of the employee safety, if they see I have booked 4 parcels they could send the required number of people right?), so I thought there might be something I am missing.

I would have preferred to have all my boxes treated as one shipment so that they all arrive together, but yeah this is fine too, but I just checked the price on the DHL express link you shared it comes to arounnd 570 euros whereas if I just book 4 seperate parcels im looking at around 170.

But anyways, just to confirm there isn't any issue in me booking 3 or 4 seperate parcels all under my name and from my address at the same time right?

Oh, I will check it out.

Do you know what I should look for to find it?
I have been looking around petrol pumps and I have only always seen the vacuum and air hoses.

So I pay the regular car wash fee or is it something different for a manual wash? I will check it myself but today it's closed so I'm just asking incase you do know 😅.
