Furniture Shipping: Affordable & Secure with Collection Service

Have you sold a beautiful sofa online, want to send a valuable family heirloom to relatives, or are you moving house and only taking your favourite pieces with you?

How Much Does Furniture Shipping Cost? A Transparent Price Overview

One of the most common questions concerns the cost. Transparency is important to us, which is why we want to give you a clear overview. The exact cost of your furniture transport depends on four simple factors:

• Size of the furniture item: The dimensions determine the space required in the vehicle.
• Weight: The weight affects handling and transport planning.
• Distance: The distance between collection and delivery addresses is a key pricing factor.
• Service level: Do you require express delivery or special handling?

Guide: How to Pack Furniture Properly for Safe Transport

Careful packaging is the best protection against transport damage. Although our professionals handle your shipment with the utmost care, you should still prepare your furniture properly. With our guide and the right materials, this is very simple.

Required Materials: Your Checklist

• Bubble wrap: The classic protection against impacts and scratches.
• Stretch film: Keeps everything together and protects against dirt and moisture.
• Corner protectors (cardboard or foam): Protects the most sensitive areas.
• Blankets or moving blankets: Ideal for large and delicate surfaces.
• Strong adhesive tape: For securing wrapping materials and corner protectors.
• Labelled bags: For screws and small components.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Disassemble the Furniture

Remove anything that can easily be detached (e.g. table legs, handles or shelves). This makes the furniture more compact and less prone to damage.

Secure Small Parts

Place all screws and small components into a labelled bag and securely tape it to the largest section of the furniture.

Protect Surfaces

Wrap delicate surfaces such as wooden panels or painted fronts generously in blankets or several layers of bubble wrap.

Protect Corners and Edges

Attach corner protectors to all corners and edges. These are the areas most likely to suffer impacts during transport.

Secure Everything in Place

Wrap the entire furniture item tightly in stretch film. This prevents movement and keeps all protective materials firmly in place.

Professional Tip: Documentation

Take photographs from different angles before and after packing. In the unlikely event of damage, this documentation will be extremely helpful for insurance purposes.

From Sofas to Display Cabinets: Special Tips for Your Furniture

Every piece of furniture has its own characteristics. With these specific tips, you can ensure that everything from antique wardrobes to modern garden lounges is perfectly protected.

Upholstered Furniture (Sofas & Armchairs)

The main priority here is protection against dirt, tears and moisture. After removing the legs, wrap the entire upholstered item completely in stretch film. Make sure no fabric sections remain exposed.

Wooden Furniture (Wardrobes, Tables & Chests of Drawers)

Protection against scratches is crucial. After disassembly, all individual parts – especially panels with delicate surfaces – should be wrapped in blankets or bubble wrap. Secure drawers and doors with tape so they cannot open during transport.

Furniture with Glass Elements (Display Cabinets & Glass Tables)

Glass components require extra caution. Remove glass doors or shelves if possible. Wrap each glass part individually in thick bubble wrap and clearly label it as “Fragile / Glass”. Secure the wrapped glass items firmly to prevent movement during transport.

Garden Furniture

Even though garden furniture is generally robust, it should still be protected. Clean and dry the furniture thoroughly. Cushions and padding should be packed separately in bags. Stackable chairs can be tied together and wrapped as one unit with stretch film to save space.

Insurance: How Your Valuable Items Are Protected

Concern about transport damage is understandable. That is why every transport with us is insured as standard. This basic insurance covers damage up to a legally defined value and provides you with solid protection.

If you are shipping a particularly valuable designer piece or an antique, we recommend taking out additional transport insurance. This can easily be added during the booking process. Your furniture will then be insured for its full value, giving you complete peace of mind. In the unlikely event of damage, we will support you quickly and efficiently with the insurance process.
