TIPS TO SHIP A COUCH

 

While the carrier will do their part to keep your couch safe during transport, there are a few things you can do to help. To minimize the chances that the couch might be damaged during transport, there are some tips you may want to follow:

 

  • Make sure your couch is clean
  • Remove cushions and slipcovers, and package these separately
  • Take off removable parts (legs, for example)
  • Use a couch cover to protect the upholstery from dust and other particles
  • Make sure the couch is packed securely and there are no loose items

With uShip, you’re in control. We help you find the best rates and the best transporters when you need to ship a couch or other large pieces of furniture.
