FLYTTE Plenty of the best furniture and appliance listings on Trade Me say "pick up only". That is fine when the seller is around the corner and the item fits in your car, but not when it is a three-seater couch in Albany and you live in Howick. FLYTTE collects Trade Me items from the seller and delivers them to your home anywhere in Auckland. You get an instant price online, so you know the delivery cost before you bid or buy.
Booking a Trade Me pickup
Once you have won the auction or bought the item, contact the seller through Trade Me to get the pickup address and agree a time window. Then book on FLYTTE with the seller's address as the pickup and yours as the drop-off. Choose the item type and a date, and your price appears straight away.
Let the seller know a FLYTTE crew will be collecting on your behalf, and that the crew will be moving the item only. Pay for the item through Trade Me or directly with the seller as normal.
The crew arrives with blankets, straps, and a trolley, loads the item carefully, and delivers it inside your home to the room you choose.
Check the delivery cost before you bid
The seller's suburb is shown on every Trade Me listing. Enter it along with your own address in the FLYTTE booking form and you can see the delivery price before you place a bid. That way you know the real total cost of the item, and a cheap listing on the far side of the city does not turn into an expensive surprise.
Most single-item jobs booked through FLYTTE land somewhere between about $80 and $150, depending on the distance between pickup and drop-off, the size of the item, stairs, and whether you need one mover or two. Your exact price is shown before you book, and it is worked out from the actual addresses you enter, so there is no guessing and no waiting for someone to call you back.
Items we pick up from Trade Me sellers
Common Trade Me pickups include couches and armchairs, dining tables, bed frames and mattresses, fridges, freezers, washing machines and dryers, wardrobes, drawers, TV units, desks, bookcases, and outdoor furniture. Gym equipment such as treadmills and exercise bikes can also be moved; mention the weight and any stairs when you book.
If the listing includes several items from the same seller, add them all to one booking. Buying from sellers in two different places? Add an extra stop.
