Delivering houses, doll's houses

Doll's houses can be great collectors items and the right ones can have a very high value.

A dolls house for delivery

Depending on how well they are made depends on whether they will travel well in the post.

Some are made of ply wood which can be very flexible, so careful packing is needed to prevent splits and breakages in the wood.
If the item can be flat packed, then do so for transporting. Then wrap the sides individually in bubble wrap, this is so they don't scrape against each other in transit.

If the item cannot be flatpacked, then you need to look at packaging it in a large enough box to protect it, but not so large it takes you over the volumetric weight that it's safe for one person to carry!

Wrap the interior and furniture items separately where possible.

Antique Doll's House

Antique Doll's Houses cannot be flat packed and would need very secure packing indeed to get it to arrive in one piece. Again in this instance I would recommend a dedicated courier van to complete the delivery.

The item can be protected with soft felt blankets and strapped securely to prevent damage in transit.

If you have a Doll's has that you are selling on Ebay or through a specialist auction, consider your transportation methods carefully.

You are most welcome to call or email on 07816 528421 and we can advise you how to pack, safely and securely.
