Why some larger jobs need a different delivery approach
Standard parcel services are built for packaged boxes and documents. A couch, whiteware unit, or awkward one-off item often needs a vehicle-based pickup and drop-off job instead.
Dimensions and weight matter
Parcel products have provider-specific size and weight limits. Include item dimensions in your listing so drivers with a suitable vehicle can quote accurately.
Awkward shape or handling
Unboxed furniture, appliances, timber, and gym equipment may need direct handling rather than a standard parcel workflow.
Residential pickup context
Collecting from a seller’s driveway, garage, or home entrance is often easier to describe as a direct pickup job than a depot-based parcel booking.
Vehicle fit and driver discretion
Drivers quote based on whether the job fits their listed vehicle, route, and availability. Prohibited-items rules still apply.

How courier-style delivery works on SENDIT
Post your pickup and delivery details once, compare driver offers, and choose the best fit. Quote availability depends on drivers reviewing your listing.
Post your delivery
Add photos, pickup and drop-off addresses, and when you need it moved. Set a budget or leave it open for quotes.
Compare driver offers
Verified local drivers review your job and send offers. Compare price, vehicle type, timing, and ratings before you choose.
Pay securely with photo proof
Chat with your driver in-app, pay securely through SENDIT, and receive pickup and delivery photos when the job is done.
A driver quotes on your actual pickup and delivery job
Instead of booking a standard parcel product, a driver with a suitable vehicle can quote on the route, item, and timing you post.
- You add photos, dimensions, and pickup and drop-off details to the listing.
- Drivers see the actual item and route before they quote.
- You compare offers on price, vehicle type, timing, and ratings.
- You choose the driver that suits the job — SENDIT does not assign one.
- You can coordinate access and handling in-app before collection.
- Payment is held securely through SENDIT until delivery is confirmed with photo proof.
