What is a two man delivery?

A two man delivery (sometimes called a two person delivery) means two delivery specialists carry your item in, put it where you want it and often assemble it. Standard parcel couriers are built for boxes.

Bulky item delivery needs more care, more hands and more planning, so the risk of damage stays low (to your item, your walls and your back).

What items need a two man delivery?

If it takes two people to lift, it needs a two man delivery. That usually includes:

• Sofas, armchairs and corner units
• Beds, bed frames and mattresses
• Wardrobes, chests of drawers and sideboards
• Dining tables and large chair sets
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and tumble dryers
• Garden furniture and outdoor sets
• Anything heading upstairs or into a flat

What happens before delivery day?

With BJS, your delivery is planned with you, not sprung on you.

1. We call to arrange a time. You pick a day that works.
2. You get a three hour delivery window. No waiting in from 7am to 7pm.
3. We make a courtesy call before we arrive. You'll know the team is on the way.

How do I prepare for a two man delivery?

This takes about ten minutes and makes the whole delivery quicker and safer. Tick these off the day before.

• Clear the route from the front door to the room
• Move rugs, shoes, bags and anything you could trip on
• Measure doorways, hall corners and stairwells for large items
• Make space where the new item is going
• Decide whether you want your old furniture taken away
• Free up a parking space near your door if you can
• Keep pets and children in another room during the delivery

These quick steps help make it a smooth, hassle-free delivery on the day.

What happens on delivery day?

Here's what to expect when the BJS team arrives.

1. The team checks your home. They measure doors and tight spaces before anything comes inside.
2. Your item is carried in. Two trained people lift and move it safely, protecting walls and floors.
3. It's placed in the room of your choice. Bedroom upstairs or kitchen at the back, it goes where you want it. Read more about room of choice delivery.
4. It's assembled if you've booked it. Beds, wardrobes and tables are built in place and ready to use.
5. The packaging goes with the team. No cardboard mountain left in the hallway.
6. Your old furniture can go too. We can recycle or dispose of it, so there's no trip to the tip. See how delivery, assembly and removal work in one visit.

Knowing what happens on the day gives you peace of mind. But what matters most is trusting the team who walk through your front door.

That smooth experience depends on their expertise and care.

Two man delivery FAQs

How long does a two man delivery take? Most deliveries without assembly take well under an hour once the team arrives. Assembly adds time depending on the item.

Do I need to be at home? Yes. Someone needs to be there to let the team in and check the item before they leave.

What if my sofa won't fit through the door? Our teams measure first. If there's a genuine problem, they'll talk you through the options rather than forcing it.

Will the team take my old furniture away? They can. We can recycle or dispose of your old furniture as part of the delivery.

Can I track my delivery? Yes. You can follow your order on the BJS tracking page.
