Instagram selling in South Africa usually completes via DM, WhatsApp or a bio link; there is no native bulky-item courier for couches and fridges. 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 an Instagram seller cannot deliver furniture or appliances themselves.
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 Instagram 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.
Creators and shops can attach a delivery path by linking buyers to a QikTruck quote after the sale.
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.
