The recommendations below apply to other products. Fully Assembled Reception Desks use the dedicated Express and Standard rates above. We've analysed the actual price difference between Express and Standard across every weight band. Here's what the numbers tell us — and our honest recommendation for each range.
🏭
UK customers — always check first
Local Warehouse Stock (UK Only)
🏭 Local Warehouse — 4–9 Business Days
If your item is available from our UK warehouse, the Local Warehouse option will appear automatically at checkout — priced identically to Express, but arriving in just 4–9 business days. Whenever it appears, it is always the best choice for speed and value. This option is currently available for UK deliveries only.
💡 No Local Warehouse option at checkout? That means your items will ship internationally. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
⚡
International order — recommended for
Under 100 kg
⚡ International Express
This is where Express offers its best value. The premium over Standard is modest — €46–€92 for France and Germany, and as little as £52–£86 for the UK (where the 80–100 kg bracket is identically priced). For that small difference, your order arrives approximately 4–5 weeks sooner. An easy choice for chairs, accessories, or compact desk setups.
💡 Perfect for getting a new team member set up quickly or filling an urgent gap in your workspace.
⚖️
International order — recommended for
100–160 kg
Weigh up your deadline
The Express premium varies based on your location and order weight:
For France (FR) & Germany (DE): Choosing Express shipping over Standard adds between €25 to €245 to your costs, depending on the weight tier.
For the UK: Upgrading to Express adds between £26 to £327 to your total, with the premium scaling alongside the weight of your order.
While the Express premium grows significantly for heavier items, it remains a valuable investment if you have a firm project handover date or a scheduled office opening. If your timeline offers flexibility, Standard shipping provides the same level of care and quality at a much more economical price point.

📦
International order — recommended for
160 kg and Above
📦 International Standard
At 160 kg, the Express premium jumps sharply. In France, it leaps from €108 to over €152 in this bracket alone — and continues rising to £1,118–£1,462 at the top end across all three markets. Unless you have an absolutely unmovable deadline, Standard is the clear and financially sensible choice. Same careful palletised handling, simply a longer transit window.
