How much does a courier cost?

Choose the correct size shipment

The majority of your courier costs are determined by the size of the items you want to have transported. Transporting a television entails lower courier costs than transporting a large wardrobe.

When making a choice between the different sizes you see above, it is good to remember that common sense takes precedence over the exact measurement in centimeters.

Formats

At PickThisUp we have a number of different formats for shipments. Our drivers do not all drive the same vehicles and when we know the exact dimensions of your shipment, the drivers can plan as optimally as possible.

Do you have multiple items? Then choose the correct vehicle for each set of item(s). A table with chairs can be created as one item, but a bicycle + a (3-person) sofa are two items. All your items will be delivered with one vehicle, but in order to make a good estimate of the volume, it is important to create separate items if items do not belong together. For example: A bicycle and a sofa are two separate items, but a table and chairs belong together and can be created as one item.

Note: Selecting a vehicle that is too small does not ultimately result in a lower courier price because the couriers will then bid higher.

Courier services rates

Comparing different rates for courier services is no longer necessary when you use PickThisUp. We ensure that you receive various offers from couriers from all over the country who come on or near your route. The courier costs per km differ per courier and also how much detour he/she has to make. As a result, there can be large differences in the prices you receive. Our website helps you calculate an indicative price in advance.

Small

Do you have a relatively small shipment that fits in a moving box? Then Small is the size you choose.

Your items together may not exceed 50 cm x 30 cm x 40 cm. Because courier companies often do not have larger packaging than a moving box. What fits in a moving box? Think of tools, laptop or tablet, clothing, loose parts for your bicycle, an iron or kitchen items. The total weight must be less than 23 kilos.

The courier will pack the items for you, so all you have to do is hand them over to the courier. Your shipment will be delivered to the recipient as a postal package. The costs for a 'Small' shipment are from €29.50.

Medium

Calculate courier costs for a Medium package? Then take into account a maximum size of 125 cm x 60 cm x 50 cm and a maximum weight of less than 50 kilos.

Medium packages are personally collected and delivered by our couriers and are not sent as a postal package. If your package is too fragile to send or just too large to fit in a moving box, choose Medium size.

What are medium sized items? Consider a computer monitor, espresso machine, painting, leaf blower, radiator, stove, ottoman, tent, musical instrument, mirror, boxes of wine or an office chair. Basically anything that fits in the trunk of an average car.

The courier costs for a Medium shipment are from €37.50. Collection and delivery are possible - in consultation - by appointment.

Large

The courier costs for a Large shipment are from €47.50. Your shipment must be 175 cm x 100 cm x 75 cm in size and may not weigh more than 100 kg. Collection and delivery is by appointment. Our drivers often transport items such as: A rug, bicycle, armchair, coffee table, 1 to a maximum of 4 separate chairs, dishwasher, 4 rims, door, garden bench, 1-person slatted base, 1-person mattress, air conditioning or parasol.

XL

Are you curious about the costs for a courier to transport a chest of drawers, cupboard, table, desk, 4 to 8 chairs, washing machine, refrigerator, 2 or 3-seater sofa, 2-person mattress, scooter or stove? Then you choose our XL shipment.

The maximum dimensions of your shipment are: 250 cm x 125 cm x 125 cm and the weight may not exceed 250 kg.

XXL

Would you like to calculate the courier service costs for an XXL shipment? For example, if you want to have a pallet, carport, PVC/wooden floor, corner sofa, lounge set, double refrigerator, exercise bike, sideboard, box spring, corner desk, filing cabinet, awning, fencing, cargo bike or motorcycle delivered? Then you choose our XXL shipment. Collection and delivery is of course by appointment and the maximum dimensions of your shipment are: 420 cm x 180 cm x 180 cm. In addition, the maximum weight of your shipment is 1,250 kg. This is a shipment that fits in a moving van with a tailgate.

Distance also determines part of the courier costs

Furthermore, the costs of a courier depend on the distance over which you want the shipment to be transported. In our tool we do not calculate with a courier price per km, but with a bid
