Looking to Get Some Computer or Office Desks Delivered to an Appartment, No Elevator

Any recommendations?

Need possibly two computer or office desks delivered up two flights of stairs in an apartment. IKEA will only do one flight of stairs and there's alot of office furniture sellers online.

Any company use two drivers for delivery and offer this service? Appliances online would but their desks are too small.

Thanks guys.

  • Are desks delivered assembled?

    • No, my apartment stairwell is compact, wouldn't fit

      • As in, wouldn't fit even flat packed? I don't know how you think this will work out with no lift and no stairwell. No one will crane it in.

        Most Ikea furniture is split into smaller, 'manageable' boxes. If you can't do it via health reasons offer a neighbour a slab of beer.

    You can hire stair trolleys if need be from Bunnings, @ $19 for 24hours

    Ikea will come in at least two boxes, so you can get them to go up one flight, and do the second yourself in stages?

    Otherwise, Omnidesk delivered right into the room I wanted the boxes.

    Do it yourself?

    • Can't, health issues

        hipages/airtasker? local facebook group for your suburb?

        surely someone will help you for cash their way

        • Yeah I can get help or go third party if needed but I've gotten a desk delivered to a similar apartment before but they're out of business now and office furniture stores I'm looking at seem to want to drop off at the door.

            @adz1: probably because issues with insurance/OHS and every job being relatively unknown. Could be easy access with wide doors, could be a total nightmare and the company needs to bare the labour costs which would quickly rack up for 2 man and van sub contracting type job.

        Maybe consider moving to an apartment with a lift, or on the ground floor? Seems dangerous to live up several flights of stairs but not be able to carry anything

          lol, with the utter insanity that is housing in Australia right now? Did OP harm you in a previous life and this is your way of torturing them as payback.

  • Rent van, get friend, DIY?

    Almost everything from IKEA is just a two man lift max, it's sort of the point of IKEA.

    If no way to get to your apartment, you can always just buy the folding table

    • I've got appliances delivered but it's a two man job and a little difficult to get large items through but deliverymen didn't have any issues

      • Anything this days you can move with the correct hand trolley.

    Crane it through Window

    Pivat!

  • Update:
    IKEA deliverymen ended up taking the desks up to my apartment and it didn't seem like any issue at all, which Is what I would have expected had IKEA not told me they absolutely only deliver up one flight of stairs.
