Moving furniture to Poland from the UK
Moving furniture to Poland from the UK works the same way as sending boxes with DudzikSpeed, on one guaranteed corridor that runs once every month from any mainland UK or Northern Ireland postcode to Kraków, Stary Sącz and onward across Poland. Furniture and large items are priced by volume at 25p per cubic metre per mile, after a £99 registration that includes your double-wall packing kit. You list each item on the calculator, it works out the cubic metres and the distance, and you get the exact price before you commit.
How furniture is priced to Poland
Boxes and furniture follow the same logic with DudzikSpeed, but they are measured differently. Boxes are priced by their size band per mile. Furniture and large items are priced by volume, at 25p per cubic metre per mile. That single rate covers everything from a single armchair to a full bedroom set.
The number that drives your furniture cost is cubic metres. A small piece takes up little space and adds little to the quote. A tall wardrobe or a three-seat sofa takes up more, so it costs more. The distance from your UK or Northern Ireland collection address to your delivery point in Poland is the other half of the sum, and the calculator works that out for you.
Everything travels on the one guaranteed UK to Poland corridor that runs once every month, with door-to-door collection and delivery to the Kraków and Stary Sącz hubs, then onward across the rest of Poland. Before any of that, you pay a £99 registration. It is not just a booking fee: it includes a strong double-wall packing kit and its delivery, and it is yours to keep even if your plans change.
You do not have to estimate volumes yourself. The item picker on the calculator lists common pieces of furniture with their standard volumes built in. You select what you are sending, it adds up the cubic metres, applies the distance, and shows the exact figure. For a wider view of total costs, see how much it costs to move to Poland.
Common items you can add to the calculator
The item picker lists common pieces and works out the cubic metres for each one. Your cost is that volume multiplied by 25p per cubic metre per mile, and the calculator works out the mileage for your exact route.
| Item | How it is measured | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| Three-seat sofa | By cubic metre | Volume at 25p per m3 per mile |
| Double bed | By cubic metre | Volume at 25p per m3 per mile |
| Two-door wardrobe | By cubic metre | Volume at 25p per m3 per mile |
| Fridge or freezer | By cubic metre | Volume at 25p per m3 per mile |
| Washing machine | By cubic metre | Volume at 25p per m3 per mile |
| Upright piano | By cubic metre | Volume at 25p per m3 per mile |
| Bicycle | By cubic metre | Volume at 25p per m3 per mile |
| Motorbike | By cubic metre | Volume at 25p per m3 per mile |
Disassembly, protection and what fits
A little preparation lowers both the risk and the cost of moving furniture. Volume is what you pay for, so anything that packs flatter takes up fewer cubic metres.
Take apart what comes apart. Beds, wardrobes, bookcases and dining tables are usually designed to flat-pack. Removing legs and splitting panels lets them stack tightly, which protects them and trims the volume on your quote. Keep every screw, bolt and bracket in a sealed bag, label it, and tape it to the largest panel so nothing goes missing in transit.
Protect surfaces and edges. Your £99 registration includes a double-wall packing kit. Use it to wrap table tops, wardrobe doors, glass shelves and anything with a finish that scratches. Corners and feet take the most knocks, so pad those first.
Prepare white goods properly. Defrost and dry a fridge or freezer fully before collection day, leave the door slightly open until then, and tape the door shut for transit. Drain a washing machine and fit the transit bolts if you still have them, or wedge and strap the drum so it cannot swing.
Bigger and unusual items still fit. The picker is not limited to standard furniture. A bicycle, a motorbike and even an upright piano can travel on the same monthly run, each priced by its volume. Two-wheelers have their own preparation steps in the guide to bringing a bike or motorbike to Poland. If you are unsure whether something will work, the on-site chat, WhatsApp or email at hello@dudzikspeed.com can confirm it before you book.
Customs and how to book your furniture in
Furniture moving from the UK to Poland is an outbound, personal-effects move, so it needs a short set of customs documents. You upload three things to your secure online account: your passport or ID, an inventory of the goods you are sending, and proof of residence. Most household furniture moves qualify for Transfer of Residence relief, which removes duty on used personal belongings, and we guide you through the application. The customs documents guide sets out exactly what each document needs to show.
Booking the furniture itself is straightforward:
- Use the instant calculator and add each piece from the item picker. It applies the standard volumes, adds your boxes, and works out the distance to your Polish address.
- Register for £99. Your double-wall packing kit is sent out, and it stays yours even if your plans change.
- Disassemble and protect your furniture at home using the kit, then confirm your final item list and box count.
- Pay the balance once the final count is known, which secures your collection and delivery slot on the next monthly corridor.
You will not be asked to guess a van size or pay for space you do not use. The price is built from the volume you actually send and the distance it travels, and nothing else. If your delivery is toward the southern hubs, the route runs through to Stary Sącz and on across Poland from there.
Common questions
How is furniture priced when moving to Poland from the UK?
DudzikSpeed prices furniture and large items by volume at 25p per cubic metre per mile. Each piece is measured in cubic metres, then multiplied by the distance from your collection address to your Polish delivery address. A small armchair takes far fewer cubic metres than a wardrobe, so it costs less. The instant calculator works out the exact figure once you select your items.
Can I move a sofa, bed and wardrobe to Poland in one go?
Yes. You add each item to the calculator and it sums the cubic metres for all of them, so a sofa, a bed and a wardrobe can go in one move. All of it travels on the same monthly corridor, collected door to door from your UK or Northern Ireland address and delivered to Kraków, Stary Sącz or onward across Poland.
Do I need to take my furniture apart before collection?
Flat-pack and bolt-together items such as beds, wardrobes and tables travel best disassembled, because flat panels stack safely and use less space, which lowers the volume you pay for. We send a strong double-wall packing kit with your £99 registration to protect surfaces, corners and glass. Keep the fixings in a labelled bag taped to the largest panel.
Can you move white goods like a fridge or washing machine to Poland?
Yes. A fridge, freezer or washing machine is priced at 25p per cubic metre per mile like any large item. Defrost and dry a fridge or freezer fully before collection, and drain and secure the drum of a washing machine. Add each appliance to the calculator to see its share of the quote.
Can bicycles, motorbikes or a piano go on the same run?
Yes. A bicycle, a motorbike and even an upright piano are all priced by volume at 25p per cubic metre per mile. They travel alongside your furniture and boxes on the monthly corridor. For two-wheelers there is a dedicated guide to bringing a bike or motorbike to Poland with the preparation steps.
What customs documents do I need to move furniture to Poland?
Outbound moves of personal effects need three things uploaded to your secure account: your passport or ID, an inventory of your goods, and proof of residence. Most household furniture moves qualify for Transfer of Residence relief, and we guide you through it. The customs documents guide explains exactly what to prepare and how to upload it.
