Our couriers have delivered a lot of things—but some jobs are unforgettable. From talking animals to single bricks, the unexpected is part of the job. At Lucky Van, we take pride in handling the odd, the oversized, and the just plain bizarre. As a result, our team has become known for flexibility.

Here are some of the weirdest things our couriers have ever delivered—and how we made it happen.

🦩 How Our Couriers Delivered a Giant Inflatable Flamingo

One of our couriers was tasked with delivering a massive inflatable flamingo for a themed garden party. Measuring over 2.5 metres tall, it barely fit inside the van. Even so, it arrived on time.

🪴Couriers vs. Traffic: Delivering 18 Houseplants on Deadline

A customer called with an urgent request: 18 potted plants needed to be delivered. For example, the plants had to arrive before a property shoot. Our couriers carefully loaded, cushioned, and delivered them on time, traffic and all.

🧸 A Box of Talking Teddy Bears

One of our most amusing deliveries involved a set of talking teddy bears for a corporate gift event. Each bear said a custom message when squeezed. Some were cheerful. Others were just cheeky.

The best part? They started talking mid-journey, surprising the driver every time the van turned a corner.

🕶 Mannequins at Midnight

One job required the delivery of 12 mannequins after a fashion event. Some were fully dressed, others were not. The pickup? A dark underground car park. In the end, our couriers earned a bonus that night.

⚙️ Couriers Delivering Heavy: Turbine Plate Transport

One of the more technical deliveries involved a large turbine plate, a precision component needed for an emergency repair. The turbine plate was heavy and oddly shaped. It needed strong straps and the right van.

Our delivery men ensured it arrived safely and on time—no scratches, no delay, no problem.

🎶 Bagpipes—Disassembled but Royal

A musician urgently needed a set of bagpipes delivered. In fact, each part was carefully wrapped and labeled. Every piece was bubble-wrapped and labeled “please don’t squeeze.” Naturally, our team handled it with extra care.

🐙 Frozen Octopus (Do Not Thaw)

A seafood restaurant needed a frozen octopus delivered before dinner service. The restaurant packed the octopus on ice. They added a note: “Keep frozen.” Mission accepted (and completed) by fridge van.
