Facebook buy-and-sell groups are chat-based classifieds with no Meta delivery fleet for bulky goods. When the item is a couch, fridge, bed or other bulky buy, book a QikTruck vehicle with a vetted driver: enter the seller pickup and your delivery address, see the price before you pay, and track the trip.
Use QikTruck for group deals that are collection only, the same way you would for Marketplace.
Get an exact quote| Situation | Best option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single chair, small appliance | Mini van or bakkie | Fits most boots-plus loads |
| Couch, fridge, bed | 1 ton bakkie or 1.5 ton closed | Add a helper for stairs |
| Lounge suite or several pieces | 1.5 ton or 4 ton closed | One trip beats two bakkie runs |
Agree the sale and a collection window with the Facebook Groups seller first. Then enter their pickup address and your drop-off on QikTruck to get an instant quote for the right vehicle size.
A vetted driver collects the item, helps load and offload, and you follow the trip on a live map until it reaches your door.
Posting that delivery can be quoted on QikTruck reduces no-shows from buyers without vehicles.
Buyers without a bakkie often walk away from collection-only listings. Point them to a QikTruck quote so the deal can close the same day.
Yes. Provide the seller's collection address, your delivery address, the item size and any collection time window. Confirm the seller has released the item before the driver arrives.

Both need private transport for furniture. Marketplace has listings; Groups are often suburb chats. Collection works the same.
No need. Share the address in the booking, not in a public group thread.
Price is built from distance and vehicle class, with the driver included. Local single-item trips often land from about R550 depending on route and helpers. Use the quote form for your exact addresses.
