Transport of furniture

Preparing for furniture transport

Measure the furniture and doorways — especially sofas, beds and wardrobes that can be hard to fit through narrow passages. Disassemble anything that needs it before we arrive, or let us know and we'll do it on-site. Empty drawers and shelves so the furniture is lighter to carry. Make sure there is clear access in stairwells and that the van can park close to the entrance at both the pickup and delivery address. If you bought the furniture from a private seller, confirm the time and address with them before booking.

Furniture transport for Blocket and Marketplace purchases

Bought a sofa on Blocket or a dining table on Facebook Marketplace? The last step — actually collecting the furniture — stops many people. The seller might live three floors up with no lift, the furniture is too big for your car and you don't have a friend with a van. We solve it. Book your furniture transport with Ungdomskraft, enter the seller's address as pickup and your address as delivery. We collect, carry out, load, drive and carry in at your home — you just need to be there to receive it. Also perfect for Tradera wins, auction finds and anything else you've bought that won't fit in the car.

Transporting single items and oversized furniture

Sometimes you only need to move one piece of furniture — a sofa to the summer house, a desk to the office or a wardrobe to the kids. And sometimes that piece is too heavy, too large or too fragile to drive yourself. We handle furniture transports of every size: from a single armchair to an entire living room's worth of furniture. We disassemble wardrobes and beds that won't fit through doorways whole, protect everything with blankets and straps, and carry carefully through stairwells and tight passages. No need to worry — we've done this thousands of times.

Furniture transport from stores

Bought furniture in-store but there's no home delivery? Or don't want to wait weeks for the store's delivery service? We collect the furniture directly from the store and drive it home to you the same day. Works with any furniture store — IKEA, Mio, EM, Furniturebox, Svenssons i Lammhult and all others. We carry in and assemble if needed. Skip the trailer rental, the loading and the driving.

Why book furniture transport with Ungdomskraft?

Ungdomskraft is not an ordinary transport company. We are a social enterprise that employs young people and gives them real work experience — and it shows in every furniture transport we carry out. When you book furniture transport with us, you get a team of motivated, energetic young workers who genuinely want to deliver a great job. Every assignment is a chance for them to prove themselves, and that mindset runs through everything — from how they protect your sofa with blankets to how they carefully manoeuvre a wardrobe through the stairwell.

Since our founding in 2014, we have carried out thousands of furniture transports across the Stockholm and Gothenburg regions. Along the way, we have given thousands of young people their first real work experience: turning up on time, communicating professionally with customers, solving problems on-site, collaborating as a team and taking responsibility for the result. Our workers learn lifting techniques, safe loading and how to handle everything from delicate antique furniture to heavy divan beds in narrow stairwells. They are trained to protect customers' belongings, floors, walls and door frames — and to always leave everything in good condition.

You notice the difference in commitment and energy. Our teams run where others walk, double-check that everything is properly loaded and always ask if there is anything else they can help with. We have built a culture where every furniture transport is seen as an opportunity to exceed expectations, and it shows in the hundreds of five-star reviews we have received on Trustpilot and Google.

But it is not just about quality — it is about meaning. Every furniture transport you book through Ungdomskraft directly contributes to a young person gaining work experience, learning a trade and building their CV. Many of our workers go on to permanent positions in logistics, transport or service industries — carrying with them the values and work ethic they learned with us. Choosing us means your furniture transport becomes part of something bigger.

We also take sustainability seriously. Furniture that is no longer needed — for example if you're replacing an old sofa when the new one arrives — is sorted and taken to the right recycling station or donated to charities such as Myrorna, Erikshjälpen and Stadsmissionen. Nothing is dumped unnecessarily.

It is smooth furniture transport with purpose.

Furniture transport does not qualify for the Swedish RUT tax deduction, but several of our other services do – including moving help, carrying help and furniture assembly with a 50% deduction on the labour cost. Feel free to combine services in a single booking.
