What Furniture Can I Ship?
Almost any household furniture, from a single item to the contents of a whole house: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, chests of drawers and desks.

We securely pack all furniture items and carefully remove them from your home, ready for shipping to your new location. Whether you are moving one piece of furniture, or the whole house, Removals.co.uk does it all from bookshelves, wardrobes, couches and beds, to desks, fridges, cookers and computers. Whichever it is, we pack, collect and send furniture to any worldwide destination.
How Much Does It Cost to Ship Furniture?
Furniture shipping is priced on the space your items take up, the route, and how easily a vehicle can reach the door at both ends. A shared container, where you pay only for the space you use, is the cheapest route for a few pieces, and a sole-use container makes sense once you are close to filling one. A free survey turns that into one written quote.
We offer a variety of furniture removal services in the UK and abroad to suit each person’s needs.
Your selected furniture removal coordinator will assess your furniture to determine the most appropriate and cost-effective shipping method for you. This could be shared or sole-use shipping containers, depending on the size and number of your items.
With our shared container service, you will only use a portion of the container, and only pay for the space you use. This is the most inexpensive method. However, for larger or whole house shipping, you can use our sole-use container service to fill as needed. This is an exclusive service for the use of 20ft or 40ft shipping containers, perfect for bulky furniture. Then, you can opt for sea freight or air freight shipping, sea freight being the cheaper of the two; air freight being the faster option.
Shipping furniture costs don’t have to break the bank, so worry not. Just give us a call and we will be able to discuss what furniture shipping cost will work for your needs.

I wanted to ship a big English dresser base to the US and Removals was one of the very few to have a reasonable price. Lorie and Debbie were so helpful. Every aspect, from pickup to paperwork, went very well.

How to Send Furniture Overseas?
Three ways: air freight when it is urgent or you are sending only a few items, a shared container where you pay just for the space your furniture occupies, or a dedicated container for a whole home. Air freight is priced on weight and sea freight on the space used, which is why a survey decides which is actually cheaper for what you are sending.
You can ship furniture overseas a lot faster and easier than you may think. We wrap, pack, store and deliver your furniture to your location of choice; we even arrange for the necessary paperwork and documentation to be completed prior to your move. All you have to do is give us a call and we will walk you through the process.
| Method | Best for | What you pay for |
|---|---|---|
| Air freight | A few items or boxes you need urgently, often alongside a sea shipment for everything else | The weight of the consignment, so it is the least economical way to send a whole house |
| Shared container, or part load | A one bedroom flat, a studio apartment or a small office | Only the space your boxes and furniture actually occupy inside the container |
| Dedicated container | A whole home or a large office. A 20ft comfortably fits a three bedroom home, and a 40ft has room to send a vehicle alongside your goods | Sole use of the container, which also gives you control of the timing |

Furniture shipping: frequently asked questions
What furniture can you ship?
Almost any household furniture, from a single item to the contents of a whole house: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, chests of drawers, desks and garden furniture. Tell us at survey about anything unusually large, heavy or fragile and we will confirm how it travels.
Can I ship just one item of furniture?
Yes. A single piece normally travels as a part load, sharing a vehicle or container with other consignments, so you pay for the space it occupies rather than for a whole container.
How much does it cost to ship furniture overseas?
It depends on the space your items take up, the destination, the method you choose and how easily a vehicle can reach the door at both ends. Air freight is priced on weight and sea freight on volume. A free survey turns all of that into one written quote.
Should I send furniture by air or by sea?
Air freight is the fastest and is priced on weight, so it suits a few items you need urgently. Sea freight is the economical choice for a household, either as a shared container or a dedicated one. Many customers use both, sending priority items by air and the rest by sea.
How is my furniture protected in transit?
Each piece is wrapped and packed in industry-approved export materials before it leaves your home, by crews who do it for a living rather than by you on moving day.
Can you store my furniture?
Yes. We have our own yard and storage at Riverside Industrial Estate in Fazeley, so furniture can wait with us before it ships or after it lands.
Is my furniture insured while it is being shipped?
Cover is part of the service rather than an extra you have to remember. Your coordinator confirms the basis and the limits in writing before anything is collected, so you know exactly what is covered.
