It sometimes happens that its-a-piece-of-cake things at a first glance, later turn out to be quite difficult to get right. Is that also truth for moving furniture? Surely, there are simple and smooth ways to do it. Though, is it expensive? The cost of moving furniture depends on the number of furniture you want to move, pick-up and drop-off localizations, and of course the company that provides the service.

Moving furniture - how much does it cost?

When planning a removal costs or simply thinking how much it is to transport a furniture we certainly need to remember that there are different factors that may have an impact on the overall transport cost. Things like size, type, weight of a furniture are very important, so make sure you mention all of them to a transport provider.

Furniture transport – does route length matter?

To give you a glimpse of potential transport costs of exemplary furniture I have looked into online transport offers within the UK and this is what I found out:

  • Desk transport:
    • 1-50 miles: between 16 – 80£
    • 50-150 miles: 32 – 96£
    • 150-300 miles: 40 – 136£
    • 300-500 miles: 64 – 152£
  • Armchair transport:
    • 1-50 miles: between 16 – 48£
    • 50-150 miles: 32 – 72£
    • 150-300 miles: 44 – 104£
    • 300-500 miles: 64 – 120£
  • Sofa transport:
    • 1-50 miles: between 20-56£
    • 50-150 miles: 48 – 80£
    • 150-300 miles: 56 – 120£
    • 300-500 miles: 64 – 128£

The prices above depends on the size, type and complexity of the particular furniture. The distance surely influence the cost, but it seems like its has a smaller impact on the price than the factors mentioned earlier. It’s also popular to move table with chairs or sofa, chairs and electronics together in one transport – in the end it’s cheaper than sending each furniture separetly. Would you like to get some more great tips on transport costs?
