Buying Furniture in Dublin? How Collection and Delivery Works

You have found the right sofa, bed or wardrobe. The only problem is getting it home. Shop delivery slots can be weeks away, and a second-hand seller usually expects you to collect. This is where a man with a van comes in.

When collection and delivery is useful

Furniture from a shop or retail park that you want sooner than the standard delivery date.
Second-hand items bought from an online marketplace or a private seller.
Flat-pack furniture that is too long or heavy for a car.
A single item moving between two homes, such as a bed for a family member.

What to have ready when you book

A few details make the job quick and the quote accurate:

What the item is and its rough size and weight.
The collection address and any order number or collection reference from the shop.
The delivery address, the floor, and whether there is a lift.
Times that suit both the seller and you.

Measure before you buy

Most delivery problems are not about the van at all. They are about the hallway. Measure the item, then measure your front door, the stairs, any tight turn on the landing and the door of the room it is going into. If a sofa will not go through, it is far better to find out before you pay for it.

Flat-pack and assembly

Beds and wardrobes often travel in pieces. Our small van service includes putting flat-pack furniture together after delivery, so you are not left with a pile of panels and a bag of screws at the end of the day. Mention it when you book so we bring the right tools.

Buying second-hand: check first

Before the van arrives, ask the seller to confirm the item is ready to go: emptied, cleaned and, where possible, taken apart. Check it yourself for damage. Once it is loaded, it is yours.
