Furniture Courier Service

Our furniture courier service is a van and a driver dedicated to your item: collected from one address, driven direct and delivered to the other, with no depot and nothing else in the van. The driver checks the condition of each piece before loading it and texts you a signed and photographed proof of delivery at the other end.

Furniture Delivery Service

Typical furniture delivery jobs:

  • A sofa, bed or wardrobe bought on eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree, collected from the seller and delivered to you
  • A retailer’s customer delivery when the item is needed today, not next week
  • Showroom and warehouse transfers, and collections from upholsterers, restorers and makers
  • Office furniture between sites: desks, chairs, filing cabinets
  • One or two pieces moving between homes, without booking a full removal

Larger or heavier loads, including pallets and machinery, are on our large item courier page.

How We Work

  1. You call or message. Phone 020 8202 2008 or WhatsApp 07507 612919, any time, with the two postcodes, what the furniture is and, ideally, a photo.
  2. We quote. You get the vehicle and the price, plus VAT, before anything is booked.
  3. A driver collects within the hour. 30 to 45 minutes across London and the Home Counties, 45 minutes to an hour elsewhere. The driver checks the condition of each piece, helps carry it to the van and secures it for the journey.
  4. Delivered direct, with proof of delivery. One job per driver: no depot, no transfer. The van is GPS tracked throughout and our operators phone you with updates on the way. The driver helps carry each piece in at the other end, takes a signature and a photo, and texts you the proof of delivery.

Furniture Courier FAQ

How much does a furniture courier cost?

Furniture goes in a long wheelbase or Luton van at £60 for the first 10 miles, then £1.80 per mile, plus VAT. A single small piece such as a chair or side table fits a small van at £40 for the first 10 miles, then £1.25 per mile. The price is for the vehicle, not per item.

Can you deliver a sofa or wardrobe the same day?

Yes. The driver is with you within 30 to 45 minutes of booking across London and the Home Counties, or 45 minutes to an hour elsewhere in the UK, and drives straight to the delivery address. One job per driver, so your furniture is never stacked with other customers’ loads or moved through a depot.

Will the driver carry the furniture into the house?

The driver helps carry each piece between the door and the van at both ends. One driver comes with the van, so for a sofa, wardrobe, bed or sideboard someone at each end needs to take the other end. Tell us about stairs, lifts, narrow doorways or a long walk from the parking spot when you book.

Do you deliver furniture bought on eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs. Send us the seller’s postcode, your postcode and a photo of the item. We collect from the seller, check the condition before loading, and deliver to you with a signed and photographed proof of delivery. The seller only needs to be in when the driver arrives.

Do you do house removals?

No. We move single items and small loads: one sofa, a dining table and chairs, a wardrobe, a few boxes, or a shop’s delivery to a customer. A full house move needs a removals firm with a crew. If you are not sure which you need, call 020 8202 2008 and describe the load.

Do you deliver for furniture shops and retailers?

Yes. Retailers, upholsterers, restorers and makers use us for customer deliveries, showroom transfers and collections from suppliers, including same day when a customer cannot wait for the normal delivery slot. Regular work can be booked by phone or WhatsApp 07507 612919 each time; there is no minimum volume.
