What we collect

Too big to post. Not a problem.

  • eBay wins too big for a parcel courier
  • Facebook Marketplace furniture pickups
  • Gumtree collections — sofas, tables, white goods
  • Vinted and other marketplace bulky items
  • Auction house and warehouse collections
  • Anything with a seller at one address and you at another

How it works

Seller to your sofa spot, one fixed price.

  1. 1

    Tell us the item and both addresses

    What you've bought, the seller's postcode and yours, floors and parking at each end. Photos help the crew size the job.

  2. 2

    See your fixed price

    One number before you book — from £75. Distance, stairs and access are line items, not on-the-day surprises.

  3. 3

    We collect and deliver

    A verified mover collects from the seller at an agreed window, handles it properly, and delivers to your door.

Good to know

Marketplace pickups, done properly.

  • Coordinating with the seller

    You agree the collection window with your seller; the operator turns up in it, calls ahead, and handles the handover. Put the seller's phone number in the booking notes.

  • Too big for a courier, too small for a removal

    This is exactly the gap marketplace purchases fall into — one sofa, one wardrobe, one fridge. It's priced as a single-item job, not a van-day rate.

  • Check it before it travels

    Where the seller allows, the operator gives the item a quick once-over at collection. For anything high-value, ask the seller for photos and check condition on arrival before sign-off.

  • Disassembly and awkward access

    Wardrobes that need taking apart, sofas through tight doorways, third-floor walk-ups — flag it when you book and it's planned and priced up front.

Marketplace delivery questions

Common questions on eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace collections.

What parking and access details do you need from the seller and buyer?

Tell us separately about pickup and delivery: choose where the van can park lawfully, then give the carry distance, floor, lift, stairs and any awkward access. A private driveway or unrestricted street selection is enough by itself. For permit-controlled, paid or loading-bay parking, also give who is arranging it, whether it is confirmed, its operating window and the exact lawful position. Unknown or unsupported access is reviewed before we offer a fixed price, and a carry of 50 metres or more needs a tailored review. Do not enter gate codes, passwords or access credentials in the booking.

What if the operator cannot park or the item does not fit?

If there is no lawful parking, furniture does not fit, access is unsafe, unplanned dismantling is needed or delivery cannot be completed, the operator pauses the affected work and sends Movesmith a structured report with evidence. The operator cannot invent a charge or take cash at the door. Movesmith reviews the facts and, if the job needs to change, sends you a fixed proposal. Extra work or payment happens only after you expressly approve it; if you reject it, there is no variation charge and Ops arranges the safe next step, rebooking or a fresh quote.

How much does eBay delivery cost in London?

From £75 fixed for a standard single item — the exact price depends on the item, the distance between seller and buyer, and the floors, parking and access at each end. It stays fixed while those confirmed details match the job.

Do you collect from the seller for me?

Yes — that's the whole point. You agree a collection window with your seller, a verified mover collects the item, and it's delivered to your door. You don't need to be at the pickup.

Which marketplaces do you cover?

Any of them — eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, Vinted, auction houses, or a private sale arranged anywhere else. If there's an item at one address and you at another, it's the same fixed-price job.

What size items can you collect?

The courier-proof stuff: sofas, wardrobes, tables, mattresses, fridges, washing machines, gym gear. Small parcels are cheaper with a normal courier; heavy or specialist items (like pianos) are handled with specialist pricing.

How quickly can you collect?

Often within a day or two, subject to operator availability in the seller's area — same-day is sometimes possible with a small premium shown in the quote. For a tight seller deadline, call 020 3143 1719.

What if the item is damaged on the way?

Every operator is verified and must hold valid Goods in Transit cover before taking jobs, and clear liability terms are shown before you book. Check the item on arrival before you sign off the delivery.

Bought it? We'll bring it home.

A fixed price in under a minute — before the seller relists it.
