Second Hand Furniture Delivery

When buying or selling second hand furniture online in the UK, what are our delivery options?

eBay, Gumtree and Preloved include quotes from Shiply.com and Anyvan.com on their websites. Etsy has delivery options for small items. Facebook Marketplace leaves it to buyers and sellers to settle on collection or organise their own delivery. 

If you’re the seller of the second hand sofa, your preference may be to limit shipping options to ‘collection only’. This will reduce the number of potential buyers to those who live close enough and are able to collect. And possibly also those who will organise their own delivery. This in turn can reduce seller’s prices.

So what are the alternatives to ‘collection only’?
