How to move 200kg from portsmouth to Brighton?

Gf used shiply to get a piano moved for about 30 quid. Great website. You post the required job, and couriers will bid against each other for your custom.

a bench will never ever fit in a car, unless its a 4x4 or an mpv with the seats taken out or the bench has been taken completely apart (which usually never happens, due to throwing away instructions after building it).

also, if it is 200kg, of weights plus a bench thats about 2/3 people. so if you are taking it in a extremely big car, space the weight out a little, all in the boot wouldn't be a good idea.

the best option would be to borrow a van, someone you know must have access to or own a van.

Erm don't be ridiculous. A bench will easily fit in a normal car - sure you have to put the seats down, but that's purely owing to the length of it. And 200kg in a car is absolutely fine - cars can cope with a lot bigger load than 200kg (I'd be screwed otherwise every time I took 1 passenger ;)). I've moved more than that in 306.
 
Do none of your parents / relatives have a car, or know anyone that does that would be willing to go for a (smaller than delivery firms) fee? I'd be amazed if you knew NOBODY with a car...
 
It's no problem providing the guy can put in on a pallet and secure it with a strap? You'd be looking at a price of around £70 for item to be delivered within 4days max.

Also the bench should weigh more then 10kg if its good quality. My powertec one is 30kg and came in 2 parts.
 
Maybe construct a makeshift car using the plates as wheels and then Flintstone your way back to Brighton?
