How much will a delivery cost?

Choose the right shipment size

Most of your courier costs are determined by the size of the items you want delivered. For example, transporting a television will cost less than transporting a large wardrobe.

When choosing between the different size categories shown above, keep in mind that common sense is more important than the exact measurements in centimetres.

Formats

At PickThisUp we offer several different formats for shipments. Not all couriers drive the same vehicle, and when we know the exact dimensions of your shipment, couriers can plan as efficiently as possible.

Do you have multiple items? Then choose the right vehicle for each set of items.

A table with chairs can be created as one item, but a bicycle and a 3-seater sofa should be listed as two separate items.

All your items will be delivered in a single vehicle, but to make an accurate volume estimate it is important to create separate items when they do not belong together. For example: a bicycle and a sofa are two items, while a table with chairs counts as one.

Note: Choosing a vehicle that is too small will not lower the courier price, couriers will simply place higher bids.

Courier services rates

With PickThisUp, there is no need to compare courier rates yourself. We make sure you receive different offers from couriers across the country who are already on or near your route. Courier costs per kilometre vary between couriers and also depend on how much of a detour they need to make. As a result, the prices you receive can differ significantly. Our website helps you calculate an indicative price in advance.

Small

Do you have a relatively small shipment that fits in a moving box? Then Small is the size to choose.

Your items may not exceed 50 × 30 × 40 cm in total. Most courier companies do not provide packaging larger than a standard moving box. What typically fits? Tools, a laptop or tablet, clothing, bicycle parts, an iron, or kitchen items. The total weight must be less than 23 kg.

The courier will pack the items for you, so all you need to do is hand them over. Your shipment will then be delivered to the recipient as a postal package.

Prices for a “Small” shipment start from €31.00.

Medium

Want to calculate courier costs for a Medium shipment? Then take into account a maximum size of 125 × 60 × 50 cm and a maximum weight of less than 50 kg.

Medium shipments are collected and delivered personally by couriers and are not sent as postal packages. If your item is too fragile to send or simply too large for a moving box, choose Medium size.

What counts as medium-sized items? Think of a computer monitor, espresso machine, painting, leaf blower, radiator, stove, pouffe, tent, musical instrument, mirror, boxes of wine, or an office chair, basically anything that fits in the trunk of an average car.

Courier costs for a Medium shipment start from €37.50. Collection and delivery are arranged in agreement with the courier, by appointment.

Large

Courier costs for a Large shipment start from €47.50. Your shipment may measure up to 175 × 100 × 75 cm and may not exceed 100 kg. Collection and delivery are arranged in agreement with the courier, by appointment.

Common examples of Large items include: a rug, bicycle, armchair, coffee table, 1–4 separate chairs, dishwasher, four rims, a door, garden bench, single slatted base, single mattress, air conditioner, or parasol.

XL

Wondering about the costs of sending larger furniture and appliances? For items such as a chest of drawers, wardrobe, table, desk, 4–8 chairs, washing machine, refrigerator, 2- or 3-seater sofa, double mattress, scooter, or cooker, choose an XL shipment.

The maximum size for an XL shipment is 250 × 125 × 125 cm, with a maximum weight of 250 kg.

XXL

Would you like to calculate the courier service costs for an XXL shipment? For example, when you want to have a pallet, carport, PVC/wooden floor, corner sofa, lounge set, double refrigerator, exercise bike, sideboard, box spring, corner desk, filing cabinet, awning, fencing, cargo bike or motorcycle delivered? Then choose our XXL shipment.

Collection and delivery are of course by appointment, and the maximum size of your shipment is 420 × 180 × 180 cm. In addition, the maximum weight of your shipment is 1,250 kg. This is a shipment that fits in a moving van with a tail lift.

Distance also determines part of the courier costs

In addition, courier costs depend on the distance over which you want your shipment to be delivered. In our tool we do not calculate with a fixed courier price per kilometre, but with a bid from couriers. Flexibility in collection or delivery also influences the price per kilometre, as does whether assistance is needed with loading and unloading if the item is too large or heavy for one person.

Your shipment will often be combined with another courier trip, as couriers naturally prefer to work with a full van.
