Hi,

I am looking to buy a couple of 3 seater sofas I have seen on ebay, but dont know anyone with a van and dont really want to hire one myself and drive 4 hours there and back to pick them up.

Would anyone be able to recommend some reasonably priced delivery services of large goods that they have used before?

Thanks - advice much appreciated!

    If you can get them to put them on pallets, a Palletways member could deliver them. I know that when I used to do night trunking for a Palletways member, they were sending pallets the full length of the country for £30.

    Other than that, couriers are going to be 80p per mile or more.

    Search eBay for couriers near where the item is/near where you are.

    Possibly going to cost more to collect them than they are worth.
    Depending on distance of course.

    I would always collect items that were within an hour or so drive away before, But
    now its cheaper to pay postage and get the items delivered.
