What to know about delivery and pickup

This is item delivery done by a person with a vehicle: collecting something you have bought, moving one large thing across town, running to a store on your behalf. It is not a freight company and this page does not pretend otherwise. Nobody here operates a licensed trucking service, nothing is going into a warehouse overnight, and there is no depot. What that buys you instead is directness — one person, one vehicle, your item, today, with a name attached — which for a single sofa or a store pickup is usually the thing you actually wanted.

The question that decides everything is vehicle and hands. A sedan takes boxes, a television up to a certain size, groceries and most flat-pack cartons if the seats fold. A hatchback takes a bicycle, a bagged mattress or a disassembled bed. A van or a pickup is what a sofa, a fridge, a wardrobe or a full flat-pack kitchen needs. Separately from size there is weight and shape: a solid-wood dresser, an appliance or a sleeper sofa is a two-person lift whatever it is going into. Say the dimensions, and say whether stairs are involved at both ends.

Store collections have their own rules and they are worth knowing before the day. Big-box stores usually want an order number and identification that matches the order, will only release goods within their own hours, and often have a separate collection bay a long way from the entrance. Some stores will not release to a third party at all without you adding that person to the order in advance. Five minutes arranging that turns a wasted trip into a straightforward one, and it is the single most common reason a store pickup goes wrong.

Questions

Frequently asked

Answers to what people actually search for.

How Taskly works, in full

What size vehicle do I need for my delivery?

A car takes boxes, a television and most flat-pack cartons with the seats down. A hatchback takes a bicycle or a bagged mattress. A sofa, fridge, wardrobe or full kitchen order needs a van or a pickup. When you are unsure, give the dimensions in the post and the offers will tell you.

Can one person deliver a sofa?

Rarely, and it is worth being honest about in advance. Solid furniture, appliances and anything with a sleeper mechanism are two-person lifts regardless of the vehicle, and stairs settle the question entirely. A job posted for one person that needs two stops on the landing, which helps nobody.

Can someone collect an order from a store for me?

Usually, with preparation. Many big-box stores want the order number and identification matching the order, and several will only release to a person named on it — so add them in advance. Check the collection hours too, as the bay often closes earlier than the store.

Is this the same as hiring movers?

No. This is item delivery — one thing, or a few, in a vehicle, usually same day. A household move is a different job with different equipment, protection and time, and it is worth posting as one. If it is more than a vehicle takes but less than a house, a truck with two people is the middle option.
