Deliveries requiring special arrangements (eg carrying a lounge set up several flights of stairs, in the absence of a lift / lift restrictions) can be made but will be at an additional cost to the customer.

Some of our transporters make use of large delivery vehicles.

Overseas and cross border deliveries can be also arranged. Please talk to one of our trained sales consultants who will be able to assist with your shipping requirements.
