Question 1

How much does it cost to courier furniture in the UK?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the distance, the size and weight of the furniture, delivery speed, and if you need one or two people. Porta Delivery gives you an instant fixed quote when you enter your details on the website. No hidden fees, no surprises. Prices start from around £50 for smaller items on shorter routes.

Question 2

Can you collect furniture from Facebook Marketplace?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is one of our most popular services. Your driver collects directly from the seller and delivers to your door. No van hire, no awkward meetups, no trying to squeeze a wardrobe into your car. We also offer a Facebook Marketplace cash on collection service if the seller wants payment in person.

Question 3

Can you collect furniture bought on eBay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you've bought a collection only listing on eBay, our eBay collection service arranges pickup from the seller's address and delivery to your door, anywhere in the UK. This is especially useful for furniture that's too far away to collect yourself.

Question 4

What's the cheapest way to send furniture in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Porta Delivery keeps prices low by matching your job with drivers who already have spare van space on routes they're running. That means you're not paying for an empty van to make a dedicated trip. It usually works out significantly cheaper than van hire, and you don't have to do any of the driving or lifting yourself.

Question 5

Do you offer same day furniture delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our same day courier service is available across the UK for urgent moves. We also offer standard next day and economy options if you're not in a rush and want the lowest price.

Question 6

Can you deliver second hand furniture?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of our jobs involve second hand furniture bought from private sellers. Second hand sofa delivery and second hand wardrobe delivery are two of our most common requests. Your driver collects from the seller's address, handles all the lifting, and delivers to your door. It doesn't matter if the item is from Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or Gumtree.

Question 7

What makes Porta different from other furniture couriers?

Accepted Answer

Most furniture delivery companies run their own fleets, which means higher overheads and higher prices. Porta connects you with independent drivers who have spare capacity on routes they're already running. You get professional service at lower cost, an instant fixed quote with no bidding or waiting, and direct communication with your driver throughout.
