Facebook Marketplace in South Africa does not provide built-in furniture delivery; buyers and sellers arrange transport themselves. 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.
Book QikTruck when the Marketplace listing is collection only and the item is too big for your car.
