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.
🏭
Always check first
Local Warehouse Stock
🏭 Local Warehouse — 4–9 Business Days
If your item is available from our France, Germany or 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.
💡 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 — £39–£78 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 grows to £69–£172 depending on country and weight. It remains manageable, but the right choice depends on your schedule. If you have an office opening or a firm project handover date, Express offers valuable certainty. If your timeline has flexibility, Standard saves you a meaningful amount without any reduction in quality or care.

📦
International order — recommended for
160 kg and Above
📦 International Standard
At 160 kg, the Express premium jumps sharply. In France, it leaps from £91 to over £129 in this bracket alone — and continues rising to £1118–£1462 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.
