Marketplace furniture delivery without owning a bakkie

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.

QikTruck recommendation

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.

What counts as marketplace furniture

  • Couches, L-shapes and corner suites
  • Beds, bases and mattresses
  • Wardrobes, desks and dining sets
  • Mixed room lots from one seller

How booking works

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is this only for Facebook?

No. Any classified or private seller address works: Gumtree, Junk Mail, groups and showrooms.

Open or closed truck?

Closed is safer for fabric couches and rain. Open bakkies need straps and weather cover.

Do I need helpers?

Add helpers for stairs, long carries or heavy solid-wood pieces.

Same day?

Often possible locally once the seller is ready and a driver is free.
