Expensive Items
Courier
Need an expensive items courier for a high-value antique, a piece of artwork, a designer sofa or a rare piece of furniture? Exact Delivery handles expensive item deliveries across the UK with a two-person crew on every booking. Two trained handlers collect the piece, wrap it in multiple layers of furniture quilts at the kerb, secure it to the van's side rails, and carry it through to the room at the destination — by hand, every step of the way. No conveyor belts, no loading-bay handling, no parcel-network sorting centres. The piece goes from your hands to the room, handled only by the two-person crew.
Expensive items courier deliveries attract a higher level of attention to access planning. Before lifting, the crew reads the door clearance, the stair width and any fragile finishes that need protection during the carry. A high-value antique chair requires a different level of care on the stair turn than a flat-pack bookcase. The expensive items courier service is built around that difference — the same two people, the same vehicle, the same fixed price, but with the additional care that valuable pieces require from the moment of collection.
The expensive items courier service runs Monday to Saturday, Sundays off. Every booking is one fixed price — no high-value surcharge, no special-handling premium, no insurance add-on forced at checkout. The price quoted covers the full protected collection and room-of-choice carry.

What the Expensive Items Courier Handles
From a single high-value mirror to a designer sofa — every expensive item quilted, strapped and carried to the room by hand.
One antique armchair, a single large mirror, a designer side table or a high-value piece of art: the full two-person expensive items courier crew attends as standard. No minimum charge. High-value single pieces receive the same two-person carry and full quilted protection as any booking.
Smaller high-value pieces — a set of antique dining chairs, a fragile glass-fronted cabinet, a valuable table — travel with the same quilted protection and two-person care as larger expensive items. Fragile finishes and delicate surfaces are noted at booking and handled accordingly.
Designer sofas, antique wardrobes, large artworks, valuable pianos, rare beds with ornate frames — both handlers working together throughout. The expensive items courier crew takes additional time on the access read for high-value pieces: door clearance, stair width, finish protection at every contact point.
Multiple expensive items from a single sale, auction house or dealer? The expensive items courier can collect the full lot and deliver everything to the destination room in a single protected run — one van, one crew, one price.
How the Expensive Items Courier Service Works
- STEP 01Get a Quote
Enter the collection postcode and your delivery address, describe the expensive item and its rough dimensions, and note any fragility or surface sensitivity. A fixed expensive items courier price returns on screen.
- STEP 02Book the Date
Confirm the price and pick a date. Monday to Saturday. An email the evening before gives you the timed window and the lead handler's direct number. For particularly sensitive pieces, additional wrapping requirements can be discussed at this stage.
- STEP 03Protected to the Room
The expensive items courier crew arrives in the window, wraps each piece in multiple quilted layers at the kerb, secures it to the van rails, and carries it by hand through to the room specified. The expensive items courier service ends when the piece is in the right place, unwrapped and unmarked.
Why Use This Expensive Items Courier Service
High-value items need two people, proper quilted protection and a crew that reads the access route before lifting. This expensive items courier service provides all three on every booking — without a high-value premium.
Every expensive item is carried by hand from the collection point to the destination room. No conveyor systems, no depot handling, no parcel-network sorting. The two-person expensive items courier crew handles the piece at every stage.
High-value and fragile pieces receive multiple layers of furniture quilts, secured to the van's side rails throughout the journey. The wrapping goes on at the collection address and comes off only when the piece is in the room.
Before lifting a valuable piece, the crew reads the door clearance, the stair width and the finish sensitivity. Antique gilding, polished veneers, upholstered corners — the expensive items courier crew identifies the contact points and protects them before the carry begins.
The expensive items courier price is set from the route and the item dimensions — not from the value of the piece. A designer sofa costs the same to deliver as a standard one of the same size. No premium for the label.
Auction houses, antique dealers, art galleries, designer showrooms, private sellers — any UK collection address works. The expensive items courier covers the full protected collection and delivery in one fixed figure.
The expensive items courier service operates Monday to Saturday, with timed windows confirmed the evening before. A set arrival time and two trained handlers — every booking, regardless of the value of the piece being moved.
