How to Ship Large Furniture Items?

Last year when I shifted to Bangalore from Kolkata, I had to transport my big sized furniture. So if you are wondering how to ship large furniture, I can share a few tips with you all.

How to Ship Big Furniture?

During my relocation, I had hired

, and the entire process was made hassle free. I learned about how to move large furniture from them. They helped in disassembling the furniture, packing it suitable and in a damage proof way. The furniture was undamaged and in good shape when it arrived at its destination.

Let me share the steps that was more or less adopted by them while packing my big sized furniture;

To ascertain the kind of shipping needed, measure the furniture's height, width, depth, and weight.

Choose packaging materials like,

• Protective padding

• Edge protectors

• Plastic Wrap

• Boxes and Crates

• Dismantle if you can: Take off the cushions, legs, and other removable components.

• Wrap and Protect: Use cushioning, and use tape and plastic wrap to firmly bind each component.

• Part labelling should be done clearly to facilitate simple reassembly.

• Pack in Crates: To stop furniture from moving, firmly pack it into crates and cushion any empty spaces.

• Seek out trustworthy movers that have dealt with huge furniture before.

If you are shipping furniture for the first time, especially the big ones then you should learn quite a few things. Furniture can be fragile and therefore you need to take care of them properly before shifting. A slight mistake can damage your furniture totally. When I moved from Delhi to Bangalore I took my dressing table, almirah. Those items were fragile, heavy, and gigantic. I was a little stressed but my furniture was delivered safely to my home in Bangalore. 

How to send furniture to another state?

I will state some points that will give you a heads up to ship furniture from one state to another.

• Use a proper box to ship your items. The box should not be too spacious or too small for shipping items. Furniture should fit inside the box perfectly so order the boxes as per the size and shape of the furniture.

• When putting the furniture in the box remove the detachable parts. I had detached each part of my almirah before putting it inside the box.

• Use a bubble and tape the furniture properly before putting it inside the box. You can use styrofoam to secure your furniture and give an extra layer of protection.

• Use polypropylene strapping around the box to keep all the items secured in their place.

• Before putting the item into the car the measure and with the package properly. 

• Choose a courier service and ship your items.

I have checked out different websites and I feel the cheapest way to ship furniture across the country is to take help from NoBroker. NoBroker's Packers and Movers services are excellent and they take care of each item while packing. They provide a 100% refund for any damaged items. I have taken their services and I am glad to share that they have done an excellent job in shifting items from one state to another.
