Post what you need moved and watch rated transport providers send you real prices — usually within 30 minutes, and typically up to 75% below standard delivery rates.
The TransportHub Delivery Quote Marketplace is a reverse-auction platform where you post an item you need moved and rated transport providers bid to carry it. Because those providers are usually filling spare space on a route they already drive, quotes come in up to 75% below standard published rates, typically within 30 minutes.
The TransportHub Delivery Quote Marketplace is a reverse-auction courier marketplace for large, heavy and awkward items that standard parcel carriers will not handle economically.
Post what you need moved, and rated transport providers send you real prices. Because most of those providers are already driving the route with spare space in the van, the quotes you get are typically far below standard published delivery rates. You compare price, feedback score and delivery window side by side, then accept the one you like.
It works for the things normal parcel carriers refuse or overcharge for: a sofa across the country, a car from an online auction, a motorbike, a pallet of stock, a piano, a garden shed, a boat on a trailer, or the entire contents of a flat. You do not need exact dimensions to start — a rough estimate and a couple of photos are enough to get accurate quotes.
Empty running is the biggest waste in road transport. A van that delivers a kitchen to Manchester and drives home empty has earned nothing on the return leg. Providers on the marketplace fill that empty leg with your item at a discount, because a discounted load beats an empty van. That is also why the marketplace has a measurable environmental benefit — the same journey carries more.
Payment is held securely and only released to the provider after you confirm the item arrived as described. Every provider carries goods-in-transit insurance, holds a public feedback score built from completed jobs, and is removed if their rating falls below our threshold. A dedicated trust and safety team reviews disputes.
Furniture and household items, cars and other vehicles, motorcycles, home removals, pallets and haulage, boats, vehicle parts, pianos, pets and livestock, eBay and marketplace purchases, and fragile or high-value antiques.
A marketplace built around spare capacity that already exists on the road.
It is a reverse auction. Transport companies compete for your job, which pushes the price down instead of up.
Public ratings and written reviews from completed jobs. Providers who drop below our threshold are removed.
Your payment sits in escrow. The provider is only paid once you confirm the item arrived as described.
Sofas, cars, motorbikes, pallets, pianos, sheds, boats, livestock — the things parcel carriers will not touch.
Your item fills space on a journey already happening, which is why it is cheaper and greener at the same time.
Insurance is verified on every provider, and a dedicated team handles disputes and damage claims.
Every day thousands of vans and trucks complete a delivery and drive back empty. That return leg costs the operator fuel, wages and time, and earns nothing.
When you post your item, our matching engine shows it to providers whose existing route passes close to your collection and delivery points. They quote a discounted price because filling a leg they were already driving is pure upside for them, and a fraction of the price for you. The result is a lower quote for you, more revenue per mile for them, and one fewer wasted journey on the road.

Rough dimensions are fine. Add photos later and providers will refine their quotes.

Six quotes in under an hour and the one I picked was less than a third of what the removal firm quoted me. Driver was on time, wrapped everything, took it upstairs. No complaints at all.
Marek KowalskiI buy at auction all over the country and I could never make the numbers work on delivery. Now I list the piece the same day I win it and I know the transport cost before I bid.
Sandy BellamyPosting is completely free and you are under no obligation to accept any quote. You only pay when you choose a provider, and the price you see in the accepted quote is the price you pay. An optional featured listing costs $9 and typically doubles the number of quotes received.
Most listings receive their first quote within 30 minutes, and 98% receive at least three quotes. If quotes are slow, adding photos and rough dimensions usually helps, since providers can price with confidence rather than guessing.
Most providers quoting on your job are already driving that route and have spare space. Filling an otherwise empty leg is profitable for them at a much lower price, so quotes typically land up to 75% below standard published rates, with an average saving of 43%.
Yes. Every provider on the marketplace must hold valid goods-in-transit insurance, which we verify before they can quote. Cover levels are shown on each provider profile, and you can filter for higher cover on high-value items.
Report it within 48 hours of delivery through your account. Your payment is held in escrow until you confirm the item arrived as described, so funds are not released while a claim is open. Our trust and safety team reviews the evidence and coordinates with the provider's insurer.
No. Rough estimates are enough to get quotes, though accurate measurements and a couple of photos help providers price precisely and reduce the chance of a price change on the day.
Yes, many providers offer two-person handling, stair carries, assembly and packing. Mention it in your listing so quotes include the extra labour rather than being revised on the doorstep.
Yes. Tell your provider first, then contact support to arrange the refund of your deposit. Cancellations very close to the collection date may be subject to the provider's own terms, which are shown on their profile.
