Packing and shipping a dining table bound for Austria is one job, not three suppliers. We survey it, pack it properly, arrange the right shipping method, and manage it through to delivery.
We pack dining tables at your address to suit the piece, then load them into one vehicle for the journey to Austria.
Packed at your address and shipped via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Austria, then the A1 west–east corridor or the Brenner approach for Tyrol, with a typical transit into Austria of 2–4 days.

Why dining tables are difficult to ship
Every one of these risks gets worse over a long journey to Austria, with loading, a sea or tunnel crossing and unloading at the far end.
That is why this is a survey-first job. We look at the piece, decide the materials, and then quote — rather than quoting a box size and hoping.
How we pack a dining table
- Legs removed where the design allows and bagged with fixings
- Top wrapped in soft material then blanketed
- Corner boards applied to every corner
- Glass tops crated rather than wrapped
- Top carried and stowed on edge, never flat under load

Getting it to Austria
Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Austria, then the A1 west–east corridor or the Brenner approach for Tyrol. Typical transit 2–4 days.
Export declaration and Austrian import entry. Transit through Germany is straightforward once the export paperwork is correct.
Alpine valley roads and chalet access are weather dependent between November and March. Build slack into the delivery date.

Frequently asked questions
Can you pack a dining table at my address?
Yes — that is how we do it. We arrive with the materials, pack on site, and load the same visit. Nothing is left for you to finish and nothing is packed by somebody who has not seen the item.
How much does it cost to ship a dining table to Austria?
Guide prices for this category start at £495. Blanket-wrapped, hand-loaded and delivered into the room where access allows. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
How long will it take to reach Austria?
Typically 2–4 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Belgium, Germany and into Austria. If you have a fixed date, tell us and we will plan the crossing around it or tell you it is not realistic.
Will you dismantle and reassemble furniture?
We routinely remove legs, glass and shelving to protect a piece in transit and refit them at the other end. Full dismantling of fitted or complex units can be quoted where it is safe to do — tell us the piece and we will be straight with you.
