TV delivery across the UK — screens carried upright, never stacked
Televisions are the classic item ordinary parcel networks damage: a panel that hates pressure, hates being laid flat and hates being sorted three times. We carry screens upright in a padded, strapped position with one driver from collection to delivery and no depot or hub transfers.
That applies to a 32-inch bedroom set, a 77-inch OLED bought privately, and a run of commercial displays going into a bar, gym or office.
Collection and delivery are required — a town, city or postcode is enough.
Sizes and vehicles
Up to roughly 50 inches, a small van carries a screen upright without trouble. Above that, a short or long-wheelbase van gives the height and the strapping points to keep a large panel secure and away from other cargo.
Very large screens — 75 inches and above — are usually a two-person handling job at doorways and stairs. Where that is the case, the uplift is quoted based on the requirements, and we tell you at quote stage.
Boxed and unboxed screens
A screen in its original box with its polystyrene end caps travels best, and we will always ask whether you still have it. Unboxed screens are wrapped in blankets, corner-protected as far as blankets allow and strapped upright.
We are straightforward about risk: an unboxed panel has no crush protection of its own. Where a screen is unboxed, the driver photographs it at collection and at delivery so the condition at each stage is documented.
What we do not do
- We do not wall-mount, install, tune or configure televisions
- We do not remove existing brackets or take away old sets unless a waste removal job is booked separately
- We do not carry screens loose in a full load with other freight pressed against them
- We cannot accept a screen that is already cracked as a claimable item
Buying a TV privately
A large share of our TV work is private sales — eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and end-of-lease clearances. We collect from the seller, photograph the screen before it is loaded, and give you a status updates link so you know when it will arrive.
Test the screen with the seller before collection if you can. Our drivers move the item; they do not power screens up or verify condition on your behalf.
What it costs
TV delivery is priced by distance and vehicle. Small van work starts from £1.45 per mile with a £65 minimum job; short-wheelbase from £1.60 per mile with a £70 minimum; long-wheelbase from £1.95 per mile with an £85 minimum.
Flexible delivery lowers that if you can give us a date window rather than needing it today.
Cover for a screen in transit
The allocated driver holds driver goods-in-transit cover normally up to £5,000. Taylors Courier Service Ltd's contractual liability is separately capped at £250 under our Terms and Conditions, and the driver's cover is not a guaranteed settlement.
Cover is subject to policy terms, exclusions, adequate packaging, declared value, evidence of value and the claims procedure. Screens over £5,000 in value, or unusually fragile installations, should be declared before collection so additional insurance can be arranged.
How to get a price
Put both postcodes into the quote box above for an instant figure, or send the details on WhatsApp and we will confirm the vehicle, crew and price in writing.
Frequently asked questions
Can you deliver a TV without the original box?
Yes. Unboxed screens are blanket-wrapped and strapped upright with nothing loaded against them, and photographed at collection and delivery. The original box adds crush protection, so use it if you still have it.
How much does it cost to courier a TV in the UK?
From £1.45 per mile in a small van with a £65 minimum job, rising with vehicle size for larger screens. Enter your postcodes in the quote box for the exact price, and choose flexible for a lower rate if the date can move.
Do you carry the TV upright?
Yes. Screens travel upright, strapped and padded. We do not lay panels flat under other items.
Will you install or wall-mount it?
No. We deliver into the room you have agreed, subject to confirmed access, but we do not mount, install or set up televisions.
Can you move several commercial displays at once?
Yes. Multiple screens for bars, gyms, offices and events are quoted as one dedicated job in a suitable van, usually with a two-person crew for handling.
What if the screen arrives damaged?
Photographs are taken at collection and delivery so condition is documented at both ends. Claims follow the driver's goods-in-transit policy terms and our Terms and Conditions; report any damage on the day.
