Marketplace buys we collect every day
The best Facebook Marketplace deals are almost always 'collection only', which is exactly the problem when the couch, fridge or wardrobe you just bought won't fit in your car. SHIMI closes that gap. You give us the seller's pickup address and your delivery address, we send a right-sized bakkie or truck with a driver, and they collect the item and bring it to you. The price is fixed upfront, so you know the delivery cost before you commit to the buy.
Because the driver helps load and offload, you don't need the seller to help lift, and you don't need to be strong enough to carry a two-seater on your own. You follow the trip on a live tracking link and get a timestamped photo when it's delivered, which is handy peace of mind when you're buying from a stranger across town.
It works for anything too big for a boot: furniture, appliances, garden equipment, exercise machines, a bargain bookshelf. Describe the item and we'll suggest the smallest vehicle that fits, so a single armchair doesn't get quoted like a house move.
- Couches, beds and wardrobes

Selling, not buying?
Selling on Marketplace? Offering delivery closes more sales, especially on bulky items that scare off buyers without a bakkie. Point buyers to SHIMI for a quick upfront quote, and 'collection only' stops costing you deals.
Questions
Yes, that's exactly what this is for. Give us the seller's pickup address and your delivery address, and a driver collects the item and brings it to you, with loading help included and the price shown upfront.
The price is built from the distance between the seller and you, and the vehicle your item needs, with loading help included. You see the full total before you book. Describe the item to get an exact quote in seconds.
Describe it as accurately as you can and we'll suggest the right vehicle. If it turns out larger on the day, the driver will flag it and you'll get a fresh quote before anything extra is charged.
Most local collections in Gauteng happen the same day. Agree a collection time with the seller, choose a pickup window when you book, and the driver is dispatched once payment clears.
