What is a Courier
A courier delivers items from one address to another, typically faster than standard parcel services. Giant Van operates a courier and man-and-van service for large items that parcel couriers cannot handle — sofas, wardrobes, appliances, and boxes too heavy or bulky for a standard courier collection. From £35 for local deliveries. Call +44 7414 655129.

The Cheapest Courier for Large Item Deliveries
The cheapest courier for large items is not a traditional parcel service — those top out at around 30kg and have size limits that exclude most furniture.
For sofas, dining tables, white goods, and large boxes, a man-and-van courier is the appropriate option.
Giant Van provides this service from £35, with a driver who loads, transports, and delivers to the room of your choice.
Standard parcel couriers leave items at the doorstep.
Giant Van takes the sofa up the stairs.
For anything over 30kg or longer than 1.5 metres, call +44 7414 655129 for a large-item courier quote.
Cheapest Courier Service: What Affects the Price?
The cheapest courier service for your delivery depends on size, distance, and urgency.
Small local deliveries (within 10 miles) for a single item start from £35.
Multi-item or multi-stop deliveries cost more.
Same-day courier requests attract a premium over standard next-day bookings.
Distance is priced per mile beyond the first 10-15 miles.
Giant Van does not charge per item like parcel couriers — the price is for the vehicle, the driver, and the journey.
If you can fill the van more efficiently, the per-item cost drops.

Why Local Knowledge Makes the Difference
National firms often send crews who have never worked a particular street before.
Giant Van drivers are allocated to regions they know.
That means parking strategy on restricted roads, awareness of time-controlled loading bays, knowledge of estate layouts, and understanding of access routes for large vans in older town centres.
Local knowledge reduces delays and prevents the situations where a crew cannot park and the customer loses hours waiting.
Giant Van's driver allocation is region-first, meaning you get someone familiar with the area, not the nearest available driver regardless of location.
