Didn't know where else to ask this rather random question so thought I'd give Chat a go 🤣 I'm sure someone wonderful will come up with a solution!

I want to send a dining table set (family 'heirloom' type thing...not really worth money, but I'm emotionally attached!) to myself from my mum's house in another part of the country. She passed away last year and the house has now been sold. This is the only thing I'm keeping. It obviously won't fit in my (tiny!) car and I have nobody to help me if I try to hire a van and do it myself. I literally couldn't lift it in and out etc.

Is there a sort of DHL or Evri that will courier this sort of thing? Has anyone done anything like this? I've googled but all I come up with is actual furniture removal companies or postal/parcel companies 🤦‍♀️

TIA

Shipley are well known couriers they are very experienced in getting furniture from A2B you type in pick up/delivery address they then quote you with a price.

@OldBeyondMyYears posted to quickly other companies do similar they advertise on eBay just that Shipley is the one that came to mind straight away.

Second Shiply. Very reliable, and they list feedback for each courier.

Wow you're both right! I've had very fast and reasonable quotes already!! Much, MUCH cheaper than I could possibly do it myself by hiring a van (and causing myself stress and a hernia!!)

Thanks so much! I knew I could rely on MN! 🥰🙌🏼
