After you win or buy

When a Trade Me purchase needs delivery

Trade Me listings show a location, closing time or Buy Now option, and often pickup only. After the sale you need transport from the seller — whether they are in Whangārei, Napier or Invercargill.

Pickup-only listings

Sellers often avoid shipping for size and cost. Third-party collection may work when the seller agrees — see seller coordination below.

Auction and Buy Now timing

You need to line up transport after the auction closes or the Buy Now completes, matching the seller’s collection window.

Inter-city purchases

The item might be in another city. Post both addresses and compare driver quotes on corridors drivers already travel.

Bulky items couriers refuse

Furniture, whiteware and awkward single items need utes, vans or trucks — not standard parcel networks.

Common Trade Me jobs

Auction wins, Buy Now and pickup-only purchases

Built for the moment after you buy or win — not a generic marketplace page with a different brand name.

  • Auction wins

    Won a pickup-only auction? Confirm collection with the seller, then post pickup and delivery addresses on SENDIT so drivers can quote.

  • Buy Now purchases

    Fixed-price and Buy Now listings often expect you to collect. A verified driver can pick up when the seller agrees to third-party collection.

  • Pickup-only listings

    When shipping is not offered, delivery may still be possible if the seller is comfortable with your chosen driver collecting.

  • Bulky and awkward items

    Couches, whiteware, appliances, tools and exercise gear — post photos and dimensions so drivers with suitable vehicles quote accurately.

  • Inter-city purchases

    Bought in another city? Post both addresses and timing. Drivers already travelling that corridor can quote on collection and delivery.

  • Seller-approved collection

    The seller must agree to hand the item to your driver. SENDIT does not contact the seller or access your Trade Me account.

How it works

How Trade Me delivery works on SENDIT

Buy or win on Trade Me first, confirm collection with the seller, then post the job and compare driver quotes.

1

Buy or win and confirm with the seller

Complete the Trade Me purchase. Confirm pickup address, that the seller accepts third-party collection, and a realistic collection window through Trade Me messaging.

2

Post pickup and delivery on SENDIT

Add the seller address as pickup, your delivery address, photos, dimensions, and when you need it moved. SENDIT does not import Trade Me listing data.

3

Compare quotes and coordinate pickup

Verified drivers can quote or accept your listed price. Choose a driver, share confirmed pickup instructions in-app, pay securely, and receive photo proof at pickup and delivery.

Seller coordination

Confirm collection details with the seller

Before or after posting on SENDIT, align with the seller through Trade Me messaging. SENDIT does not message sellers or verify collection consent for you.

  • The seller agrees to collection by another person on your behalf
  • The pickup address is accurate and accessible
  • A realistic collection window or pickup instructions
  • Whether the item is dismantled, packaged, or ready to load
  • Whether loading help is available at the seller location
  • Any reference or identifying detail the seller needs at collection

Once you choose a driver, use in-app chat to share confirmed pickup instructions. Do not publish unnecessary personal details in your public SENDIT listing.

Item details

What to include in your SENDIT delivery listing

Trade Me photos may help you understand the item, but your SENDIT job should contain accurate delivery information for drivers.

  • Current item dimensions and estimated weight where known
  • Quantity and a clear description of what is being moved
  • Photos useful to the driver (you add these to SENDIT — listing images are not imported automatically)
  • Access notes: stairs, lifts, narrow driveways, or gate codes
  • Whether the item is assembled or needs two-person handling
  • Your required timing — flexible windows help drivers quote

Recent pickup-only and private-sale style deliveries

Completed jobs from buyers who needed a driver to collect from a seller.

Furniture and bulky items collected from private sellers — examples of the pickup workflow Trade Me buyers use. Jobs are not labelled as Trade Me unless the listing data supports it.

Among these 6 completed delivery examples, prices ranged from $44–$150

Prices vary by distance, item size, urgency, access, and whether extra help is needed. This is a sample of published examples — not a complete price list or national average.

Inter-city Trade Me purchases across New Zealand

When the seller is in another city — for example a sideboard in Napier delivered to Hamilton — post both addresses and compare driver quotes on corridors drivers already travel.

Popular routes include Auckland–Hamilton, Auckland–Wellington, Auckland–Christchurch and Wellington–Christchurch. Timing depends on driver availability along the route, not a fixed courier schedule. For Auckland-only seller pickups, see Trade Me delivery Auckland.

Pickup-only on Trade Me

A pickup-only Trade Me purchase may still be deliverable when the seller agrees to collection by your chosen driver and a suitable driver quotes on the SENDIT job. Seller collection conditions always matter — Trade Me does not guarantee third-party collection in every case. For the broader platform-agnostic pickup-only problem, see pickup-only delivery NZ.

SENDIT is an independent delivery app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Trade Me Limited. “Trade Me” is used to describe a common online marketplace purchase scenario only. You arrange delivery separately on SENDIT — SENDIT does not receive Trade Me listing, auction, or order information automatically.
