Why Choose a Specialist Courier for Large & Awkward Items?

Challenges of shipping oversized or heavy goods

Large items don’t always fit neatly into standard cartons or travel well on conveyor systems used by everyday couriers. They may be too heavy for manual handling, too long for standard vehicles, or too delicate to travel unprotected. Without the right equipment, packaging, and expertise, oversized freight can be difficult, expensive, and at risk of damage in transit.

How PACK & SEND makes it simple

At PACK & SEND, we take the complexity out of awkward freight. Our network is equipped with specialised vehicles, lifting gear, and professional packing solutions that ensure even the most difficult loads are moved safely. Whether you’re arranging a courier for a large item within the city or need international bulky freight services, we provide end-to-end logistics with expert support at every stage.

What Large & Awkward Items Can We Deliver?

Furniture & household goods

From single pieces to multiple items, PACK & SEND can move beds, wardrobes, dining tables, and other bulky household goods. Our team ensures items are protected for relocation, storage, or delivery.

Artwork, sculptures & antiques

Oversized canvases, statues, and antique furniture require specialist handling. We offer tailored art and antique packing and crating to preserve their condition during transport — whether moving them locally or shipping overseas.

Business equipment & industrial freight

Office furniture, trade show displays, and heavy industrial machinery often require custom solutions. PACK & SEND provides palletising, crating, and forklift-compatible freight options, making us the best courier for heavy items across industries.

Gym & sports equipment

From treadmills and rowing machines to large team equipment, PACK & SEND ensures bulky sports gear is packed, lifted, and transported with care. We make large package delivery simple for both businesses and individuals.

Professional Packing for Bulky Deliveries

Custom crates, pallets & protective packaging

Oversized goods require more than cardboard boxes. PACK & SEND uses custom-built crates, reinforced pallets, shrink wrap, and impact-resistant materials to protect large items in transit.

PACK & SEND packing vs DIY solutions

DIY packing of heavy or awkward freight often leaves gaps in protection and may not meet freight handling requirements. By using PACK & SEND’s professional packing service, you not only reduce the risk of damage but also ensure your shipment is accepted across both domestic and international freight networks.

Customs rules & handling requirements

Oversized freight may be subject to stricter customs inspections and handling rules. Our team assists with documentation, compliance, and packing to minimise delays, ensuring your goods pass smoothly through customs checkpoints.

What Determines the Cost of Shipping Large Items

Several factors influence the cost of sending oversized or heavy goods, including:

  • Size & Weight: Larger or heavier parcels require more handling and space in transit.
  • Destination: Domestic vs international shipping, plus remote or regional delivery locations.
  • Customs & Duties (for international freight): Government charges, inspections, and import/export requirements.
  • Packing Requirements: Custom crates, pallets, or protective materials.
  • Delivery Speed & Service Level: Express, same-day, or economy services impact the price.

Warranty for Large & Heavy Items

Large goods often carry significant financial or sentimental value. PACK & SEND offers warranty options that protect against loss or damage in transit, so you can send with confidence.
