Fragile Goods Transport Costs in the UK and Abroad

What is the average price for transporting fragile items in the UK?

Whether you need to move a large antique mirror, a delicate glass chandelier, a fish tank (aquarium), or bespoke furniture with glass panels: the golden rule is to avoid standard parcel networks. Automated sorting hubs are notorious for breaking fragile goods. The safest solution is to book a dedicated courier or a "Man and Van" service through our platform. These providers offer blanket wrapping and manual handling, ensuring your items are never thrown or stacked improperly. Compare quotes from completed jobs. The average price for transporting fragile items on national routes ranges from £0.78 to £1.71 per mile (depending on the level of assistance and packaging required).
