Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and Nextdoor are full of great furniture at good prices around Raleigh. The hard part is usually not finding the piece. It is getting a sofa, dresser or patio set from the seller’s home to yours when you do not own a truck. Here is how to make the pickup and delivery go smoothly.
Before You Commit to Buying
- Measure twice. Check the piece’s height, width and depth against your doorways, stairwells and the spot where it will go.
- Ask about access. Is the item upstairs, in a basement or in a garage? Is there parking nearby?
- Confirm the pickup window. Many sellers want items gone quickly, so agree on a time that gives you room to arrange delivery.
- Ask about condition. Loose legs, broken drawers or missing hardware are easier to discuss before payment.
Information to Give Your Delivery Service
Having these details ready makes it possible to quote and schedule a pickup quickly, sometimes the same day:
- A photo or listing link for each item
- Approximate dimensions and weight
- The seller’s address, pickup window and contact details
- Your delivery address
- Stairs, elevators or tight turns at either end
What Happens on Pickup Day
Our crew meets the seller, carries the item out, wraps it and straps it down in our 8 ft long-bed pickup, then brings it inside your home and places it in the room you choose. Most deliveries need 1 or 2 movers depending on size and weight, and we can carry up to 6 pieces in one trip.
Need your old sofa gone when the new one arrives? We can deliver the new piece and haul the old one away on the same trip.
Store Pickups Work the Same Way
The same service covers furniture showrooms, consignment stores, warehouse clubs and home stores. Keep your order number or receipt handy, and let us know if the item is boxed or assembled.
