Heavy Haulage & White-Glove Crane Delivery
Due to the 27-tonne weight of the Tsar Bomba, this item cannot be delivered via standard Royal Mail van or DPD. Delivery is carried out by our contracted heavy transport division (HIAB 80-tonne articulated crane lorry).
What to expect on delivery day:
- Driver Keith will phone 30 minutes prior to arrival.
- The articulated lorry will reverse into your cul-de-sac or driveway.
- Hydraulic crane outriggers will deploy to hoist the 8-metre bomb into your desired position.
- Driver will wipe down the casing and hand over the original Soviet inspection certificate.
Access Requirements:
- Minimum 3.2m road clearance for the crane lorry.
- Overhead telephone cables must be at least 4.5m high.
- No delivery down shared gravel footpaths or through narrow garden side gates.
- No crane drops onto wooden decking (decking will splinter instantly).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit on my front driveway next to my Ford Focus?
A: Yes, provided your driveway is at least 9 metres long. The bomb itself is 8.0 metres long and 2.1 metres wide. You will still have ample space to open the passenger door of your vehicle, though reversing may require extra mirror care.
Q: Do I need council planning permission to have a Tsar Bomba on my lawn?
A: Under UK Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order, Class E allows curtilage garden ornaments and outbuildings under 2.5 metres in height without formal planning permission. Because the Tsar Bomba rests horizontally at 2.1m height, it complies fully as a decorative garden feature.
Q: How can you sell a 50-megaton nuclear weapon for only £20 with free delivery?
A: We are currently clearing surplus warehouse space at our Bicester storage facility ahead of the winter storage audit. Storing a 27-tonne aerial device costs our logistics group £420 per month in facility overheads, so liquidating our remaining inventory at £20 with government-subsidized freight saves us substantial long-term storage expenditure!
Q: Does it come with the factory ignition codes?
A: The original manual states the factory PIN code is
0000. We recommend updating this code upon initial telemetry calibration to prevent unauthorized family members from altering the yield settings.
Q: What happens if I want to return it within 30 days?
A: We honor a full 30-day money-back guarantee of your £20 purchase price. However, per our terms of service, the customer is responsible for contracting an 80-tonne mobile crane and commercial flatbed transporter for the return journey to Bicester Depot.

Great for stopping people parking across my dropped kerb
"Got sick and tired of people blocking my driveway during school drop-off hours. Ordered this on Monday afternoon, and Keith the delivery driver swung it right onto my front lawn by Wednesday morning with the crane. Haven't had a single person park anywhere near my property since. Absolutely cracking value for twenty quid. Neighbors haven't said a peep."
★★★★★
Surpassed expectations, wife wasn't keen at first
"To be completely honest, at £20 I thought it might just be a miniature desktop model. When Keith rolled up in an 8-wheel articulated crane lorry, my wife nearly had a fit. But once we got it settled by the rhododendrons, she agreed it makes a very striking focal point. The 800-metre parachute that came in the tail cone made a wonderful gazebo roof for our daughter's anniversary barbecue."
★★★★★
Solid Soviet engineering, courier was a gent
"Sturdy steel casing, no rattles. Minor scratch on the rear stabiliser fin from transport, but nothing a tin of black Hammerite couldn't sort out. Keith the driver even helped me sweep up the loose gravel after the lorry departed. 10/10 service from Sovereign Surplus."
★★★★☆
Good piece of kit, slightly heavy for wet grass
"Only dropped one star because it rained the night before delivery and the 27 tonnes sank about three inches into my turf. Recommend putting some timber planks down first. Otherwise top notch deterrent."
