How to Ship Sofas from the UK to Denmark
Sofas are light for their size but easy to scuff, and upholstery marks permanently if it rubs against a strap or a van wall.

We pack sofas at your address to suit the piece, then load them into one vehicle for the journey to Denmark.

Why sofas are difficult to ship
Every one of these risks gets worse over a long journey to Denmark, 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 sofa
- Cushions removed, bagged and labelled
- Feet unscrewed and packed with the fixings
- Full blanket wrap over arms, back and base
- Stretch-wrapped over the blankets, never directly onto fabric
- Loaded upright or on its side depending on the frame

What we need to quote accurately
Send these details on WhatsApp with a photograph or two and you will get a firm figure, not a range.
- Overall length, depth and height
- Whether it is a sofa bed or a recliner
- Floor level and lift access at both ends
- Whether the feet detach
Getting it to Denmark
Harwich–Hook of Holland or Eurotunnel, then through the Netherlands and Germany, then the E45 north and the Great Belt or Øresund bridges as required. Typical transit 2–3 days.
Export declaration and Danish import entry. Bridge tolls apply on the Great Belt and Øresund crossings and are included in the quotation.
Copenhagen apartment blocks frequently have narrow stairwells and small lifts. Measure before booking a large item.

Frequently asked questions
Can you pack a sofa 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 sofa to Denmark?
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 Denmark?
Typically 2–3 days, routing via Harwich–Hook of Holland or Eurotunnel, then through the Netherlands and Germany. 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.
