I'd like to buy a chair listed for sale in that there London.

The seller is happy for a courier to collect. Does anyone have a recommendation of who to use? I was think £25-30 would be a reasonable sum for such a service??

Regarding packaging of chair, it is not particularly large or heavy so I planned to ask the seller to wrap it in copious layers of cling-film.

Anyone with similar experience care to comment?

Cheers,

Paul

Try Anyvan.

Oof, AnyVan weighed in at £61.

ParcelForce seems like the simplest way then.

Give it time and the quotes might well come down.

My first quote for moving a bookcase was £200, I eventually paid £28.

You could also consider Paisely Freight.
