Large Item Collection and Delivery Service
We collect bulky, awkward or heavy items purchased on eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Auction Houses.
Introducing Auction Delivery
Auction Delivery – Specialist Collection & Delivery for Furniture, Antiques & Large Marketplace Items
Auction Delivery is a UK-wide courier service dedicated to the safe collection and delivery of large, often delicate, new, second-hand and items purchased online. Whether you’re buying or selling on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, or running a small business dealing in antiques or furniture, we offer a professional alternative to the stress of ‘collection only’ listings. We also run a specialist motorcycle collection and delivery service with dedicated regular van runs up and down the country.
Why choose Auction Delivery?
Not everyone has the means — or the time — to collect bulky items themselves. Online marketplaces are full of beautiful pieces marked collection only, but that can be a deal-breaker for buyers who don’t want the hassle of organising transport. That’s where we come in.
With over 10 years of hands-on experience moving motorcycles and furniture across the UK, we know how to handle everything from antique dressers to 1960s sideboards and solid wood dining tables. Our team is fully insured, reliable, and always careful — we treat every piece like it belongs in our own home.
We provide a door-to-door service with no depots, no co-loading, and no tossing your item in the back of a parcel van. Items are securely wrapped in protective furniture blankets, handled with care, and delivered exactly where you need them — from top-floor flats to country cottages.
Buying from a UK auction house? We’ve got it covered.
We regularly collect items from auction houses across the UK, including those that don’t offer in-house delivery. Whether it’s a chest of drawers from Bonhams, a vintage armchair from Cheffins, or a vintage motorcycle from a specialised sale — we’ll collect your items, wrap them with care, and deliver them safely to your door. Just let the auction house know we’re collecting on your behalf and we’ll take it from there.
Who do we help?
We work with:
- Private customers buying and selling on eBay or Facebook Marketplace
- Antique and vintage furniture dealers
- Etsy shop owners and small e-commerce businesses
- Auction house buyers and collectors
- Interior designers and home stagers
Whether it’s a one-off delivery or ongoing support for your business, we tailor our service to suit your needs. You’ll get real-time updates, flexible collection slots, and a friendly point of contact throughout the process.
Based in Saltash, near Plymouth, we specialise in collections and deliveries throughout Devon and Cornwall. However, our service extends across the entire South West — and beyond. Whether it’s Land’s End or London, Bristol or Birmingham, Leeds or Liskeard, we collect and deliver anywhere in the UK.

Our Services
eBay Large Item Collection and Delivery
Have you ever found the perfect item on eBay, only to discover it’s listed as ‘collection only’ — too large for a parcel courier or too delicate to risk damage in transit? Maybe the seller simply can’t arrange delivery? That’s where we come in.
Our eBay Item Collection and Delivery Service is the ideal solution for larger or fragile purchases. Whether it’s a vintage wardrobe, a Snap-On toolbox, or an 80s motorcycle, we’ll collect it directly from the seller and deliver it safely to your door — no van hire, no hassle.
Facebook Marketplace Collection and Delivery
Have you ever spotted the perfect sofa or kitchen dresser on Facebook Marketplace, only to realise it won’t fit in your car? Not to worry — our Facebook Marketplace Collection and Delivery Service is the perfect solution.
We specialise in collecting larger items and delivering them safely to your door — no van hire, no heavy lifting, no stress. Ideal for sofas, wardrobes, sideboards, and other ‘Facebook bargains’. Whether you’re buying or selling, we’ll handle the transport professionally and with care.
Furniture Delivery Service
Whether it’s an antique dresser, vintage sideboard, sofa or modern flat-pack wardrobe, we specialise in transporting furniture with care. Every item is wrapped in protective blankets and handled by experienced couriers.
Our Furniture Delivery Serivce covers a wide area of the UK, with regular runs to and from Devon and Cornwall, making it easier than ever to buy with confidence from anywhere in the country.
Motorcycle Delivery Service
Whether it’s a classic café racer, a vintage British twin, or a brand-new sports bike, we specialise in motorcycle transport that’s careful, reliable, and built around the needs of true enthusiasts. Every bike is secured with professional-grade strapping, wrapped where needed, and handled by someone who genuinely understands what it means to move a machine that matters.
With over 10 years of hands-on experience delivering motorcycles across the UK — and a background that includes owning a cherished collection of vintage bikes — this isn’t just a service, it’s a passion. Our motorcycle delivery service operates throughout Devon, Cornwall, and beyond, with regular runs across the country. Whether you’re buying, selling, or moving a bike, you can trust it’s in safe hands.
Auction House Collection and Delivery
We collect from auction houses across the UK — even those that don’t offer in-house shipping. Simply let the auction house know we’re collecting on your behalf, and we’ll handle the rest. We regulary collect from auction houses in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset. We also collect from auction houses further afield and deliver back to the Westcountry.
Business-to-Customer Deliveries
We work with antique dealers, vintage shops, and small furniture businesses to deliver items to customers. Whether you’re selling via eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Estsy, or your own website, we will provide a reliable and professional delivery service.
About us
Auction Delivery was founded in 2025 by Tony, an experienced furniturer courier who spent 10 years running a delivery business that served eBay sellers, antiques dealers, vintage motorcycle specialists and private customers across the UK.
Recognising today’s shortage of a truly customer-first service, he launched Auction Delivery to bring back a good, old-fashioned service where reliability and respect for the item come before quick profits.
This experience means you benefit from:
- Specialist handling of furniture and antiques – from Ercol tables to Victorian tallboys, everything is blanket-wrapped and strapped securely.
- Nationwide auction-house collections – we liaise with salerooms, collect on your behalf, and deliver directly to your door or business.
- Flexible solutions for businesses and private buyers – whether you’re an online seller shipping weekly or a one-off bidder with a “collection only” lot, we tailor the service to you.
Our promise is straightforward: If you’re looking for a company who provides good communication, careful handling, and reliable delivery, you’ve found it!
