Marketplace pickup checklist for bulky items

A practical checklist for moving marketplace furniture and bulky purchases with fewer delays.

Marketplace pickups work best when the sender, seller, and buddy all have the same details before pickup day.

Before you book

Confirm the item dimensions, pickup access, seller availability, and whether the item needs two people to lift safely.

Details to include

  • Pickup and dropoff suburbs
  • Item size and weight estimate
  • Stairs, lifts, parking, or loading dock notes
  • Preferred pickup window
  • Photos from the listing where possible

On pickup day

Keep the seller contactable, make sure the buddy has the right address, and confirm the delivery location can receive the item before it leaves pickup.
