Check the vehicle options before booking. Your full load, including packaging, must fit within the selected vehicle’s size and weight limits.
Moving boxes and personal belongings
Moving between flatshares? Taking belongings to storage? Sometimes you need transport for a few boxes rather than a full house move.
Lalamove’s van options can help you transport boxes, suitcases and suitable furniture across London.
Before booking:
-
Count all your boxes, bags and suitcases.
-
Measure your largest items.
-
Check the total load against the vehicle details in the app.
-
Select loading assistance if you need help carrying your items.
-
Make sure someone is available at both addresses.
Lalamove provides transport and optional loading assistance. We do not offer packing, furniture assembly or full removals services. Have your belongings packed and ready for collection.
Furniture collections and bulky item delivery
Found a desk or armchair you love, but can’t fit it in your car? Lalamove can help you arrange transport for furniture and other bulky items.
Choose a van with enough space for your entire load, not just the largest piece.
For a second-hand furniture collection, confirm these details with the seller:
-
Item dimensions and approximate weight.
-
Whether the furniture needs dismantling before collection.
-
The collection address and contact number.
-
A suitable collection time.
-
Any stairs, lifts or access restrictions.
If dismantling is needed, arrange it before collection. Lalamove does not provide furniture dismantling or assembly.
Remember: weight is only part of the picture. A lightweight item may still be too long or too tall to fit in your chosen vehicle.
Which Lalamove vehicle should you choose?
The right vehicle depends on everything you are sending, including boxes, bags and protective packaging.

Yes. You can request an immediate collection or schedule a delivery for a later date and time. Scheduled collections can be booked up to 30 days in advance through the app.
Planning ahead can help you coordinate with a furniture seller, shop or recipient. Confirm that someone will be available to hand over and receive the items.
