Obtain Furniture Shipping Estimates in Leicester, Leicestershire, UK


Shiply boasts a vast network of furniture transporters who vie against one another to secure your furniture delivery task in Leicester, Leicestershire, UK. Transporters utilize our platform as a means to secure additional work along their current routes, enabling them to provide furniture shipping rates at discounts of up to 75% compared to standard prices.


To illustrate, if a transporter is already conveying multiple items from London to Manchester in their vehicle, but upon completing those deliveries, they must return to London with an empty cargo hold, they are inclined to offer substantially reduced prices to minimize this inefficiency. Therefore, whether you are relocating a solitary piece of furniture within the UK or numerous items to Europe or beyond, Shiply can provide assistance.


The process is straightforward. You simply complete a brief form outlining your moving requirements and await the estimates to arrive via email. If you possess any photographs of the furniture, sharing them with the removal companies can be immensely beneficial. Requests accompanied by photos tend to receive quotes that are 34% more affordable.


Once you have completed the form and submitted your delivery request, you can simply sit back, unwind, and allow Shiply to handle the challenging aspects on your behalf. This undoubtedly surpasses the alternative of contacting one company after another, only to receive costly estimates without any indication of quality.


Furniture delivery companies will vie and provide quotes for your delivery job in a reverse auction format, which contributes to driving down the price for you.


Evaluate The Furniture Delivery Companies


We advise allowing 24 hours to obtain the most favorable furniture shipping estimates, but it's not unusual to receive an excellent price within a matter of minutes. The majority of transport providers offer a nationwide furniture delivery service. However, we also have furniture transport companies that operate on an international scale.


In addition to competitive prices, Shiply employs a feedback system akin to eBay. Following each transaction, customers provide positive, negative, or neutral feedback comments. Transport providers on Shiply are motivated to deliver a high standard of service to earn positive feedback and secure future work.


This emphasis on affordable prices and exceptional service is why millions of individuals have relied on Shiply and continue to use it repeatedly. We boast a 9.0/10 rating on Trustpilot.


Therefore, once you have received multiple furniture courier prices, we recommend evaluating them individually. Pay close attention to the transport providers' feedback scores and comments left by their previous customers.


Pose a few questions to the courier, including their availability to execute your furniture shipment. Once you have agreed upon dates and are satisfied with the profile and feedback score, you can click on "accept quote" to reserve your chosen transport provider.


Ready Your Furniture for Transport


Now that you have booked your furniture collection and delivery service, the transporter will provide you with a courtesy call to inform you of when they anticipate arriving at the collection point. In preparation for this, we recommend taking the following steps:


  • Confirm Packaging/Protection: Inquire with your transport provider if they will be providing blankets, bubble wrap, or similar materials to safeguard your furniture during transit. If they are not, we advise you to package and protect the furniture to the best of your ability prior to collection.

  • Verify Insurance: Your furniture courier will possess goods in transit insurance in the unlikely event that your furniture is lost or damaged during transit. We also recommend reviewing your home insurance policy, as many of these policies cover furniture while in transit.

  • Documentation: We strongly advise taking photographs of your furniture before collection. This documentation can be invaluable in substantiating any damage incurred during the furniture shipping process.

It is not necessary for you to be present all day for the collection or delivery of your item. Unlike the behemoths of Royal Mail and Yodel, Shiply's furniture delivery services are typically undertaken by smaller, family-owned firms that are more flexible in this regard. They will usually be able to provide you with a narrow time window for when you would need to be available and give you a courtesy call when they are about to arrive.


The furniture delivery companies on Shiply vary greatly in their areas of expertise. There is truly nothing they cannot handle. With over 100,000 transport providers on Shiply, they possess a wide range of vehicle types, from smaller vans to HGVs and flatbed trucks. Regardless of what you're moving, you'll find someone on Shiply who can transport your items.


Every transport provider on Shiply is required to have adequate goods in transit insurance for the furniture removals they perform. If you have a particularly valuable item, it is worth directly confirming with your chosen transport provider in case they need to acquire additional insurance on your behalf.
