Should I offer delivery on my Gumtree furniture ad?

Yes for bulky items if you keep payment safe. You do not need your own bakkie. Let buyers book QikTruck to your address, or state that delivery can be arranged at the buyer’s cost.

Listing copy that works

Add a line like: “Collection only, or buyer can book a bakkie to collect.” That filters tyre-kickers and keeps serious buyers moving.

Pay and Ship vs delivery note

  • Pay and Ship: good for small parcels
  • Furniture: collection + optional bakkie delivery
  • Never promise door delivery you cannot fulfil yourself

Will delivery slow scammers?

Clear cash-or-cleared-EFT rules matter more. Delivery alone does not stop fake POP tricks.

Include delivery in the price?

Only if you have quoted the route. Otherwise keep item price and transport separate.

Same-day buyers?

Possible when you are ready and a driver is free.

Appliances too?

Same approach for fridges and washers. Note if the unit must stay upright.
