Second-hand furniture ads are usually collection only. Book a bakkie or closed truck to move the piece from the seller address to your home, with helpers for stairs when you need them.
Use marketplace furniture delivery when the listing is collection only and the item will not fit in a car. Parcel lockers are the wrong tool for couches and beds.

|---|---|---|
| Two-seater or armchair | Bakkie or 1 ton | Measure doorways first |
| Three-seater or bed set | 1 ton or 1.5 ton closed | Add a helper for stairs |
| Full lounge suite | 1.5 ton or 4 ton closed | One trip beats multiple runs |
Confirm the sale and a collection window with the seller. Enter their address and yours on QikTruck, pick a vehicle that fits the load, and track the driver from pickup to delivery.
No. Any classified or private seller address works: Gumtree, Junk Mail, groups and showrooms.
Closed is safer for fabric couches and rain. Open bakkies need straps and weather cover.
Add helpers for stairs, long carries or heavy solid-wood pieces.
Often possible locally once the seller is ready and a driver is free.
