Preparing furniture for shipment

When you plan to move your furniture, there are rules you might like to follow, while preparing them for shipment. First of all, don’t forget to empty all the furniture – even if the items inside seem few. Jolts as well as vibrations are inevitable on the road and all of the items moving freely inside your furniture might become a potential danger. Besides furniture without any content will be lighter and therefore easier to load.

Dismantle what you can – if your furniture can be safely disassembled and shipped in pieces, it will be the safest way to ship it. A table in pieces is also much easier to fit in a van. The main downside of such a solution is that it takes some time and skill, as wrongly dismantled furniture might be hard or even impossible to put back together after transportation. Other than that – you must be very cautious when shipping tiny pieces (screws etc.). It’s safer to transport them separately, e.g. in a Ziploc bag.

There is furniture (especially antiques) that mustn’t be dismantled and must be shipped as a whole. How to ship them securely? The possibility that you have a cardboard suitable to fit an armchair is rather small, but there are other ways to secure it for the time of transportation. When preparing furniture for shipment bubble foil is essential. Enclose all the delicate elements as well as every corner in bubble foil to save your cargo from damaging in case anything crashes into it during transportation. If you have no bubble wrap, you can try using cardboard to secure the corners.

When you’re transporting furniture with some extra fragile parts (for example containing glass or delicate fabrics) you have to be especially careful during shipment. When you can, it’s best to transport them separately, enclosed in thick layer of cloth and bubble wrap (every glass element should be shipped that way). If it’s a part of furniture that can’t be disassembled, wrap it in extra layers of bubble foil. And remember to mention to the transport provider that he’s shipping delicate cargo.

As was mentioned above, most of the time you will require assistance with shipping furniture. When looking for a transport provider it’s convenient to find out if he offers assistance with loading as well as unloading. Don’t forget to specify from which floor they should be taken and to which floor they should
