Are you getting ready for a home or office move, or are you in need of trustworthy furniture shipping services? Our range of shipping options is designed to fit your specific requirements. Whether you're moving a single piece or an entire set, we're here to make it happen smoothly.

Planning Your Shipment

When planning your shipment , we advise that you start by carefully measuring and weighing each piece of furniture to determine the best shipping options for you. Planning your shipment in advance will mean a timely and cost-effective delivery.

Disassembly Tips

When it comes to shipping large furniture pieces, disassembly is paramount for an efficient process. Breaking down bulky items into manageable components, such as removing legs or detaching shelves, is the first step to reducing their size. Organizing screws, bolts, and small parts into labelled bags simplifies the reassembly at the destination.

Wrapping each disassembled piece with protective materials like bubble wrap or moving blankets shields them from damage during transit is also important as it protects it. By carefully disassembling your furniture, you not only shrink its size but also ensure safer shipping.

Packing and Protection

For a smooth selling and shipping experience, it's important to use high-quality packing materials such as bubble wrap, furniture blankets, and sturdy boxes to protect your furniture from any potential damage during transit. Securing fragile items with extra padding will help to prevent breakage.

When selecting packaging, consider the type of furniture you're shipping. Strong boxes are suitable for smaller pieces, while furniture blankets and bubble wrap work well for larger items or those with delicate parts. If you need reliable packaging materials, take a look at our packaging shop for sturdy options.

Additionally, if you're shipping second-hand furniture, it's highly advisable to clean the items first. This ensures they are in the best possible condition for your buyer, avoiding any unpleasant surprises upon unboxing.

Palletising Your Furniture

Shipping large and heavy items is not a problem for our couriers, but using pallets for multiple bulky items can be beneficial. Simply disassemble and wrap your furniture securely, place it on sturdy pallets, and use straps to keep everything in place during transit.

Understanding stackable pallets can help by maximizing space and reducing your costs. For more information on palletising don't hesitate to contact our team for expert guidance.

Insurance

When shipping furniture, your items should be covered against loss or damage during transit. With Transglobal Express, smaller pieces like lamps are automatically covered up to around £50 per consignment as a standard free service (coverage may vary by service). For larger items such as armchairs and sofas, we offer payable insurance options up to £2,500 to ensure they are fully insured and arrive undamaged.
