    Not sure where to ask this question, but here goes anyway.

    I need to transport two items of furniture from West Cork to Plymouth (England). One is an antique bow fronted cabinet, quite delicate, but not heavy. The other is a camphor wood blanket box, sturdy but much heavier.

    What would be the cheapest, safe (not damaged) way to get these items over to England?

    Hi, As these are bulky and fragile items, hire a van yourself and drive them, or a man with a van and have them delivere, would be the best.

    I did think of possibly hiring a van.
    If they had been 'ordinary' bits of furniture, I might have considered a truck going on a return journey with some available space, but I wouldn't want to tempt providence with these two items.

    Do you have a tow hitch on your car ? If yes, it may be cheaper to hire a smallish box trailer than a van

    I don't have a tow hitch and I have never heard of vanquotes or shipley. Maybe need to give them a call.
