IDEAL FOR RELOCATIONS
Van service for moving heavy garden and patio furniture
Relocations within Europe
When relocating within the UK and Europe, you can choose to transport your garden furniture with our dedicated Van Delivery courier service. You will have the whole van reserved for your load and the delivery will be made directly to the receiver’s address, without any stops.
This is not only the cheapest but also the most convenient solution for moving heavy garden furniture along with your other personal items. An experienced courier driver will help you load everything into the van and make sure the load are safe for transport. For this service, there are no packing requirements. However, we recommend that you still protect your patio set with moving blankets or other cushioning materials to prevent damage in transit.
International relocations outside Europe
If you urgently need to relocate and book a patio furniture courier service outside of Europe, Eurosender offers an Priority Express Service that is available worldwide. You can ship outdoor furniture in packages of up to 70 kg with this courier service. If you need to send more items, we can organise an international relocation service personalised to your needs.
Take into consideration that intercontinental relocations can be more complicated as they also involve customs clearance. If you want to ship your outdoor furniture by courier when moving from the USA, Australia or any other country, please request an individual offer so that one of our agents can prepare a tailored offer for you.

Can I send or ship outdoor furniture with Hermes/Evri?
Hermes shipping services are suited for small parcels weighing up to 15 kg. The maximum length allowed is 120 cm and a combined length + circumference of no more than 225 cm. This means that you cannot ship large pieces of outdoor furniture with Evri (the old Hermes). If you are shipping bulky patio furniture locally or abroad, Eurosender provides quotes and solutions for any shipment type, including oddly-shaped items.
