How Same Day Delivery Works With Us
Need Single Item Moving? Courier loads are single items or small consignments that need moving fast, usually without booking a full removal van. The service sits between standard parcel delivery and a full house move. It is perfect when you buy something large online, sell furniture on a marketplace, or need to move one bulky item quickly.
Common examples include sofas, dining tables, washing machines, fridges, exercise equipment, and large artwork. These items are too big for standard couriers like Royal Mail or DPD but do not justify the cost of a full removals team.
Giant Van fills that gap. We send the right-sized van and the right number of trained movers for your specific item. A one-man sofa collection is very different from shifting a double wardrobe upstairs, and we price accordingly.
Single item movers work across private sales, e-commerce returns, office equipment relocations, and charity donations. If you have bought something at auction, we can collect it the same day the auction closes. If you have sold a piece of furniture on Facebook Marketplace, we pick up and deliver door to door without the buyer needing to arrange transport.
The demand for this type of service has grown sharply with the rise of online marketplaces. People buy second-hand furniture, vintage pieces, and large appliances every day. They need a trusted, insured, and fast delivery option. That is exactly what Giant Van provides for courier loads across the whole of the UK.
Call to check same-day availability in your area.
Courier Loads and Single Item Delivery Pricing
Man and Van from £54 per hour. This covers most single item removals where one mover can handle the job safely. Two-person crew rates apply for heavier or bulkier items. Fixed-price quotes are available for long-distance single item deliveries across the UK. All prices are fully inclusive of fuel, equipment, and goods-in-transit insurance.
There are no charges added on the day. The price you receive at quote is the price you pay. For a 1-bedroom move comparison, full service runs from £250 to £400. Single item delivery is priced well below this because you only pay for what you need.
All prices include a fully insured driver, van, and basic protection. Packing materials available.

Same Day Delivery: Advice to Save Time and Stress
This is the most common option for single item removals where the item can be moved by one person. A small chest of drawers, a single mattress, or a compact appliance will usually fall into this bracket.
The hourly rate reflects the additional labour. Most jobs of this type complete in one to two hours.
If you need a single item collected in Manchester and delivered to London, for example, we quote a flat rate for the full job. This protects you from unexpected mileage costs.
Single item delivery is considerably cheaper because we only charge for what you actually need.
We always ask about this at the quote stage so there are no shocks on the day.
The quote is fully inclusive. Use our online tool or call for an accurate price in 60 seconds.

Same Day Delivery: Transparent Pricing
Giant Van handles a wide range of courier loads as single item removals.
Our vans range from a small transit to a large Luton with tail lift, so we can match the vehicle to your specific item rather than sending something too big or too small.
Furniture is the most common category.
We regularly collect and deliver sofas, armchairs, beds, mattresses, wardrobes, dining tables, desks, and bookcases.
These items turn up constantly on second-hand platforms and often need moving the same day a deal is struck.
White goods are another major category.
Washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, fridge freezers, and American-style fridge units all require careful handling.
Our crew uses appliance dollies and furniture straps to keep them stable in transit.
We also move gym equipment, including treadmills, weight benches, and multi-gym units.
These are heavy, awkwardly shaped, and often require partial disassembly.
Our team knows how to handle them safely.
Specialist items include pianos, safes, large mirrors, and framed artwork.
These require extra care and, in some cases, additional insurance cover.
Let us know at the quote stage and we will advise accordingly.
We do not move hazardous materials, perishables, or live animals.
Everything else is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
If you are unsure whether we can handle your item, call.
Our team will give you a straight answer and a quote if we can do the job.
We will tell you honestly if a specialist is better suited to your needs.

Reliable Same Day Delivery, Every Time
A little preparation on your end makes the collection faster and keeps your item safe in transit. These tips apply to all courier loads and single item removals.
Clear the access route before our driver arrives. Move other furniture, rugs, and obstacles out of the path from the item to the front door. This saves time and reduces the risk of damage to walls or door frames.
Disassemble where possible. Wardrobes usually separate into two or three panels. Beds come apart with basic tools. If your item can be disassembled without specialist help, do it before the driver arrives. It makes the job quicker and cheaper if you are on an hourly rate.
Secure loose parts. Drawers, shelves, and doors can shift during transit. Remove drawers entirely and wrap them separately. Tape doors shut with masking tape rather than permanent tape that could mark the surface.
Wrap fragile elements. Mirrors, glass panels, and polished surfaces benefit from protective wrapping. We carry furniture blankets on every van, but your own wrapping adds an extra layer of protection.
Make sure parking is available at both addresses. If there is no parking directly outside, let us know the nearest alternative. Our drivers will always do their best, but restricted access can slow the job down.
Tell us about stairs. Two flights of stairs at collection and two at delivery means more time and potentially more crew. Be upfront about this at the quote stage so the price reflects the real job.
Have the item ready when we arrive. Our drivers work to a tight schedule, especially on same-day jobs. Delays at one collection can push back all subsequent bookings.
Call if you have any questions before the driver arrives.

Same-Day Single Item Delivery Across the UK — FAQs
How much does single item delivery cost with Giant Van?
Man and Van service starts from £54 per hour for single item removals. The final price depends on item size, distance, access conditions, and crew requirements. For longer distances, we offer fixed-price quotes. Get an instant quote online or call for a price in under 60 seconds. No hidden fees.
Can you collect my item the same day I book?
Yes. Same-day collection is our core service for courier loads. We carry live availability in our booking system. In most cases, we can have a driver with you within two to four hours of booking. Availability varies by location and day, so book early to secure your preferred time slot. Call to check today.
Do you offer GPS tracking for single item deliveries?
Yes. Every Giant Van booking includes live GPS tracking via our app. You receive a tracking link the moment your driver is assigned. You can share this link with the recipient so they know exactly when to expect the delivery. You also get SMS and email notifications at each stage of the journey.
Is my item insured during transit?
All courier loads are covered by goods-in-transit insurance as standard. This is included in your booking at no extra charge. For high-value or specialist items such as pianos, safes, or large artworks, additional cover options are available. Let us know at the quote stage and we will advise on the right level of protection.
What areas do single item movers in Blackpool cover?
Our Blackpool team covers the full Fylde Coast, including Lytham St Annes, Cleveleys, and Fleetwood. We also handle deliveries from Blackpool to Manchester, Preston, and nationwide. Same-day slots are available on most days. Call or use our online tool to check availability for your specific postcode.
Do I need to disassemble furniture before collection?
Disassembling furniture where possible saves time and can reduce the cost if you are on an hourly rate. Wardrobes, bed frames, and flatpack units are easier to move in sections. Our team can assist with basic disassembly on request, but arranging this in advance helps. Mention it at the quote stage so we can plan the job correctly.
What types of single items do you move?
We move sofas, wardrobes, beds, mattresses, dining tables, white goods, gym equipment, large mirrors, and more. If an item is too big for a standard parcel courier but does not need a full removal team, Giant Van is the right choice. Contact us on if you are unsure whether we can handle your specific item.
How do I get an instant quote for courier loads?
Use our online quote tool on the Giant Van website. Enter your collection postcode, delivery postcode, and a brief description of the item. You will receive a fixed price instantly with no obligation to book. Alternatively, call and our team will quote you over the phone in under a minute.
