Horsley's Brand Promise
We charge fair rates for time and expenses
NO CRAMMING, NO DAMAGE
Your items get the space they deserve
While other courier services pack 12+ deliveries into one van, we dedicate our vehicle to YOUR delivery. No cramming, no corner-cutting, no "it'll probably be fine" mentality. Your antique furniture, arcade machines, or valuable goods travel properly protected with blankets, corner guards, and professional strapping. Because there's no point paying for delivery if your items arrive scratched, dented, or broken.
What you avoid:
Damaged goods, insurance claims, replacement costs, disappointed customers
The Bottom Line: We charge fair rates for time and expenses because that's what quality service costs. Your items are valuable, your reputation matters, and your customers deserve better than budget courier chaos.

From transporting delicate hardwood pieces to large-scale case goods and bespoke counters, Horsleys understand the precision and care required. Their communication is excellent, their drivers are well-briefed, and every delivery arrives on time and in perfect condition. Whether it’s a single crafted item or a full fit-out for a luxury residential or hospitality project, we know we can rely on Horsleys to get it there properly.
At Jerome Shorter Furniture, every project involves multiple moving parts from transporting antique chairs to be restored, to delivering newly upholstered pieces to discerning clients. Horsleys have become an essential partner in making this possible. Their team handle every collection and delivery with professionalism, care, and reliability.

We would recommend them without hesitation.
