TradeMe Purchase Pickup & Delivery — Book now

Trade Me, as well as Facebook Marketplace, are great places to find a bargain. However, sometimes the seller has no inclination to provide a delivery service and lists the item as ‘pick up only’. This is generally not a problem if the item is small enough to fit in your car and the seller lives close by. But, if it's big and bulky and pickup is far away, it can be challenging to work out how to get the item delivered to you.

Similarly, you might be selling an item on Trade Me or Facebook Marketplace and want to provide the buyer with a safe and secure way of having their newly bought item delivered to their location. It will also give you peace of mind that the item will be delivered safely and that you won’t have to write it off after getting lost in transit.

Whichever scenario it is – whether you need an item picked up or delivered to your home or office – a tasker on the Ezy Peazy platform can help. There, you’ll find a network of trusted pickup and delivery specialists who can collect and deliver any item you’ve bought or sold.

Here’s how a tasker on Ezy Peazy can help with your Trade Me pickup or delivery:

Let’s say you’ve won a Trade Me auction for a smart dining suite and you got it for a bargain price too. In the afterglow of your success, you may suddenly realise that the seller listed the item as ‘pick up only’ and you don’t have a vehicle big enough to transport it to your house. And, unfortunately, you don’t have roof racks on your car, or a towbar for a trailer.

That’s when you can turn to Ezy Peazy, as you’ll be able to find a local tasker who can do the pickup for you. All you need do is tell them what the item is, when and where it needs to be picked up from and delivered to, and they’ll take care of rest.

The only final details to take care of is to pay the seller and liaise with them about who they can expect to collect your item. That means no stress and no negative reviews for having to cancel the sale because you can’t collect the item.

In another scenario, you have managed to successfully sell an old couch on Trade Me. You don’t mind that you only got $20 for it, because it’ll be out of your garage and you finally have space to park your car in there.

Just after the auction ends, the buyer messages so say they won’t be able to pick it up and asks if you’d be able to deliver. While Trade Me does offer a courier service, this is generally for smaller items that can be sent through the post – not larger items like furniture. In this case, the Trade Me delivery service isn’t much help.

The good news is that you’ll be able to find a local Trade Me delivery tasker via the Ezy Peazy platform, who can provide a quote and do the job when you accept it. With the quote details in hand, you can then confidently get back to the buyer and let them know how much it will cost. When they accept, you simply confirm with the Ezy Peazy tasker and they’ll pick up the couch from your house and deliver it to the buyer’s.

And, if you’d like to plan ahead, you can even request an estimated delivery price while your item is still listed. This means you have the information at your fingertips in case delivery is requested. Just be sure to tell the purchaser that the delivery price may change based on where they’re located.
