Hello everyone, I would like to start a comprehensive discussion on the topic: How to transport IKEA Billy shelves without damaging them?
I am aware that these shelves are made from relatively thin particleboard and can easily chip or crack if handled improperly. Therefore, I am looking for tips on how to pack and transport them safely, especially when moving or if the furniture is left standing for a longer period during transport.
Perhaps you have experience with cushioning or special transport techniques? I am also open to advice on how to prevent scratches and impacts, as I want to keep the shelves in their original condition. Thank you in advance for your well-informed responses!

I have often transported my Billy shelves lying down and sometimes upright without any problems.That may be true, but a more detailed consideration is missing here. It is crucial whether the shelves are transported fully assembled, with or without the back panel.
Statistically, the back panels pose the greatest risk because they are made of thin hardboard. These are very sensitive to tension and impact. Without proper padding, damage is likely.

It’s best to dismantle them completely, including removing the back panel, since it is usually made of thin hardboard and can break easily.That is the most practical solution for safe transport. Anything else unnecessarily increases the risk.
I believe it is important to raise awareness of these basics rather than relying solely on individual experiences.
