Recommendations on how to ship chairs from London to Belfast

hi everyone,

Wanted to find out the most cost effective way to ship six chairs from London to Belfast. The chairs are a brand that seem to be totally impossible to source here and even better they're a good price, but hoping that the shipping costs aren't going to outweigh my potential bargain!!

    I bought a fireside chair from an ebay seller and he used parcelforce .
    Not sure if you would want to do that six times .

    Collect Plus might be worth a try.
  • Try https://www.anyvan.com, I've used it before and my items were collected at 8am near London and arrived in Belfast 8am the next day. I imagine they do a number of pickups to fill their vans or someone may be moving house and they have extra room. Quotes come in pretty quickly.

    You could try Browns removals in Belfast. They have lorries in England every week and can bring stuff back pretty cheaply as they are coming home empty quite often.

    I started out with nothing......And still have most of it left:p
  • Thank you anotherginger. I have submitted a quote through anyvan as it seemed the quickest (read laziest) way to find out costs. They even have an app!
