Moving from one place to another is inevitable due to various reasons. If you’ve ever been in such a situation, you’ll know how tedious and stressful it can be when it comes to planning a move. While most moving service providers rely on the usual 10ft or 14ft lorry to relocate the entire house or office, van delivery services can also be used to accommodate your relocation plans, albeit a minor one. Ahead, we’re sharing some tips on utilising van delivery services when moving.

When should you utilise a van delivery service?
