Hiring a Courier

If you’re going to be sending valuables across Europe then you want to know that you’re getting the best care for them. Hiring a courier to Italy should be an easy, pain free process – but it can be made unnecessarily difficult because of the wide choice of European delivery services out there. Do you go with an independent driver, a well know chain or do you plump for containerised shipping. It really depends on what you’re sending.

Courier Expertise

Depending on what you’re sending to Italy you might need different levels or courier expertise. If you’re sending paintings to Parma or need to deliver fineries to Florence then you will want to employ the services of a courier well versed in transporting fragile goods. Or if you need to transport a car across Europe then you will need an expert vehicle transporter.

General Couriers

If you’re only sending basic items to Italy, such as furniture or crates and boxes then a more affordable basic courier services could be all you require. Finding a courier that is already going to Italy and has spare space could mean you save on your delivery costs.

What to Look for in a Courier to Italy
Transporters to Italy should conform to the following standards before you consider them for completing your delivery job.

Insurance: This is the most important thing to check out when looking for a European courier. Not only does it protect the contents of the delivery, it gives you some indication that you’re dealing with a creditable outfit.

Accreditation: When looking to hire a delivery driver to Italy it can help to find one that is a registered member of a recognised delivery association. These organised bodies set strict standards for delivery and courier services across Europe.

Feedback: One of the best ways to judge a delivery driver is by examining reviews of their service from customers they’ve served before.

Other Delivery Considerations

An Italian courier is going to cost a lot more than a simple move up the road, the average rate per mile for a courier is around £1.20 per mile, so from delivery London to Rome by road (and ferry) could cost you in excess of £1,000! But luckily Shiply can help you find cheaper courier quotes to Italy.

Upload the specifics of your delivery to Shiply:
When it needs delivering
What you’re moving (including specifics like dimensions and pictures is helpful)
Where it’s going from and to

Once listed, any of our registered transporters will be able to quote you prices for undertaking your Italian delivery. The drivers who will give you the best quote are those who are already making the trip to Italy anyway and have spare capacity.

Carriers will compete against one another to try and offer you the best price for delivery to Italy. You can compare competing firms based on the prices they quote and the reviews they have received from other Shiply jobs they have completed.

Then all that’s left is to organise the dates with the courier of your choice.

Completing the Delivery

When your goods arrive in Italy make sure you check that they are in the same condition as when they left, or “as described” if you’re receiving an eBay item. Any discrepancies should be taken up with the transporter or seller, depending on where the damages occurred.

When you are satisfied your delivery has been carried out properly please do leave feedback for your courier to Italy found on Shiply. This will help them know how to improve their service and also help other users who are looking for a similar service in the future.

Buona fortuna with finding a great quote!

Couriers on Shiply are able to provide all levels of service and can help pack your items, just ensure you inform them of your needs.

Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?

Transport providers will almost always tie up an item in the transport vehicle, as the risk of damage from moving around during transit is high. You should always confirm safety precautions and packing needs with transport providers before accepting a quote.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

Yes, items can be taken upstairs if needed, and can also be assembled. Transport providers on Shiply are happy to provide these services, but you should ensure that you are mentioning these requirements in your listings as it may mean a second person is required for the move.

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

Note that editing details of your listing after publishing will result in active quotes being voided, so you will have to wait for new quotes to come in. If you have already accepted a quote and need to change the address, please let your transport provider know and contact us at .
