Securing furniture for transportation

When you need to transport your furniture, there are rules you ought to follow, when it comes to securing them for shipment. Firstly, don’t forget to empty all the furniture – even if things inside are few. Jolts and vibrations are almost impossible to avoid on the road and every extra item moving freely inside your furniture might become a potential danger. Besides empty furniture will be easier to load.

Dismantle what you can – if your furniture can be dismantled without damage and transported in pieces, that’s the best way to ship it. A bed in pieces is also much easier to place inside of a van. The major downside of shipping furniture in pieces is that the disassembling can be time-consuming, as unskilfully dismantled furniture might be hard or even impossible to reassemble in your new home. Also – you must be very cautious with all the really small pieces (like pins or screws). It’s best to transport them separately, for example in a Ziploc bag.

Some types of furniture (for example antiques) mustn’t be dismantled and ought to be transported in one piece. What’s the best way to transport them safely? The possibility that you will find a box big enough to fit a dinner table is rather small, but there are other ways to secure your cargo for the shipping. When preparing furniture for shipment bubble foil will be of significant value. Wrap all the delicate places and every corner in bubble foil to save your load from damaging in case anything crashes into it on the road. If you don’t have bubble wrap, you may also use cardboard to secure the corners.

When you’re transporting furniture with some particularly fragile parts (like containing glass or delicate fabrics) you must be especially careful during shipment. When you can, you should transport them independently, wrapped in protective layers of cloth and bubble wrap (every glass element should be transported that way). If it’s a part of furniture that cannot be disassembled, enclose it in additional layers of bubble wrap. And remember to inform the transport provider that he’s transporting delicate cargo.

Like we’ve mentioned before, usually you will require help with transporting furniture. When choosing a transport provider it’s convenient to find out whether he offers assistance with loading as well as unloading. Don’t forget to mention the floor they should be taken from and the floor they must be transported to – and if there is an elevator available.  

If your furniture is of great value (even if it’s just sentimental) you should look for a hauler that can provide a carrier liability insurance. Hiring him will probably cost more, however in case anything happens to your load during transportation, you will be entitled to reimbursement.

Cost of furniture shipment

Since furniture is a very diverse section, a price of furniture transportation may vary considerably. When estimating the cost of transportation you have to consider the route length, type of job (domestic or international), size and weight of the cargo, whether the cargo is fragile etc. A proven way to cut the cost of furniture transportation is to find a transport provider who is travelling on your route anyway – thanks to partial loads you can pay considerably less for the shipment, without losing the quality of the service.
