We drive to and from Erikshjälpen-stores

Prepare for your Erikshjälpen transport

If you're picking up a purchase: check the store's opening hours and make sure the item is ready to collect. Have your home address and any door codes ready. If you're donating to Erikshjälpen: sort what you want to donate and make sure everything is in good condition — Erikshjälpen only accepts items that can be resold. Pack clothes in bags or boxes. Check that there is clear access through stairwells and that the van can park near the entrance both at your home and at the store. Measure doorways if furniture is large. The more information you provide when booking, the smoother the transport will be.

Pick up furniture and finds bought at Erikshjälpen

Erikshjälpen often has fantastic finds — furniture, retro chairs, solid dining tables and unique wardrobes you won't find anywhere else. The problem is they rarely fit in an ordinary car. With Ungdomskraft's transport we pick up your purchase directly from the store. We carry the furniture out, protect it with blankets and straps, load the van and drive to your home. There we carry it through stairwells and doorways and place it where you want it. Many of our customers tell us they now dare to buy completely different things at Erikshjälpen — heavy furniture, bulky shelving units and delicate glass cabinets they could never have taken home on their own. Our crew handle everything from small armchairs to large furniture sets. We bring tools, furniture blankets and carrying straps — you don't need to prepare anything extra. If a piece won't fit through the door, we disassemble it and reassemble at your place. We protect all surfaces during carrying so nothing gets damaged.

Donate furniture and clothes to Erikshjälpen

Have furniture, clothes or household goods at home that deserve a new life? Donating to Erikshjälpen is one of the easiest ways to make a difference — your items are resold and the revenue goes to Erikshjälpen's work for children in vulnerable situations worldwide. But transport is usually what holds people back. A sofa won't fit in the car, 15 bags of clothes require multiple trips, and the nearest Erikshjälpen store might be far away. With our transport we collect everything from your home. We carry out from any floor, load the van and drive to the Erikshjälpen store of your choice. There we unload and drop off. You just need to sort — we handle the rest. Remember that Erikshjälpen only accepts items in good condition that can be resold. Broken furniture, dirty textiles and mattresses are usually not accepted. If in doubt, call the store before booking. We are only responsible for the transport — not for what the store accepts.
