Do You Need a Man with a Van in Birmingham?


Discovering an estimate for a cost-effective & dependable man with a van birmingham service is easy using Shiply. Just create a listing on Shiply and man and van businesses will send quotes straight to your inbox.


A birmingham man with a van service is perfect for moving items from one place to another, such as a small home relocation or as a courier for transporting furniture, appliances, or other sizable items that you can't pick up yourself. Independent van operators are usually more adaptable than large courier businesses and will handle a broad range of loads. You can also specify in advance the degree of service you require from your man and van. Many delivery drivers are willing to provide an extra set of hands for heavy lifting or furniture assembly.


Man and Van Services


When comparing services, always keep the following in mind:


Transit insurance: All man and van businesses should have goods in transit insurance to transport goods. This covers the drivers for any damage caused to their loads up to a value of £10,000, which is adequate for most deliveries.


Experience: Because starting a van delivery service is relatively simple, companies can appear overnight. Ensure you inquire about their experience moving single items & multiple items similar to yours. This isn't as much of a concern with basic items, but for delicate goods, it can be advantageous to hire someone with expertise.


Locality: Hiring a company from two towns away will only increase your costs, while finding a driver who's already making a journey near your desired delivery can mean you save a substantial amount on standard rates. That's why typical man with a van london type services aren't always the best choice.


Level of service: Depending on what you're moving, you might need a few extra sets of hands to help shift your items. It always pays to check ahead with the driver to see if they'll be able to assist with loading and unloading.


Birmingham, situated in the West Midlands, UK, is a popular destination for people moving to and from the city. Many individuals require the services of a man and van to transport their belongings when relocating. The city's central location and excellent transport links make it an ideal place to live and work, contributing to the high demand for man and van services in the area.


Comparing Man and Van Quotes


When you need to hire a man with a van, you have thousands of options, and taking the time to compare the available choices can be time-consuming. You could go with the first available service, or alternatively, you could bring the companies' quotes to you.


Shiply can help match your items to local van drivers already making a similar journey. Simply list what you're moving, where it's going, and when you need it transported. Thousands of companies will then be able to quote for your delivery, and van operators with spare space in their vehicles could quote you less.


Compare the services based on their price and feedback they have received from previous deliveries to find one that suits you. All prices on Shiply are for the complete job, with no hourly rates where you can get stung by traffic or drivers taking the long route.


Completing the Delivery


When your goods arrive, check that they match the photos you took prior to the delivery (you did take photos, didn't you?). If they have been damaged, make sure you consult with the driver immediately and submit your proof.


Once your items are unloaded & you're satisfied with the service, please leave feedback on Shiply for your chosen service. This will help us build the best database of reliable man and van companies. Best of luck with your move!

When Will I Receive A Quote?

If your delivery is urgent, you can try our 'featured delivery' feature which moves your listing to the top of the search page for couriers.

How Many Quotes Will I Receive?

Whilst there is no guarantee of quotes, 98% of our listings receive at least 3 quotes, so you are likely to find someone who can undertake the delivery of your items.

Does Shiply Provide Packing Materials?

If your item requires packing materials or extra care then you should make sure this is highlighted in your listing and discussed with any transport provider whose quote you are considering. 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 Travel With My Goods?

The majority of transport providers on Shiply are only insured for the transportation of goods, however, some are also able to take people. If you need to travel with your goods, make sure to mention this in your listing and highlight this to any courier who quotes on your listing.

What If I Need To Cancel My Booking?

If you have accepted a quote and paid the deposit but wish to cancel the delivery, then you should first inform your chosen transport provider that you no longer require the delivery. You should then contact us at to have your deposit refunded.

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

If you have not yet accepted a quote then you are able to change the address of your listing. 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 .

I Need More Than One Pair Of Hands, Is This Possible?

Yes! It is very possible to request extra help when making a listing, just ensure that you make this requirement explicit when making the listing so that you get accurate quotes for the service you require.
