Talk about your moveCan you collect furniture from Facebook Marketplace?
Marketplace collection requests can be planned using the seller’s details, item dimensions and access information. Confirm the seller’s availability before booking.
Can a driver pay the seller for me?

Accurate dimensions are important. A changed load may need a different vehicle, additional help or revised pricing before the job can proceed.
