Furniture delivery
A couch, a bed, a whole lounge suite: right-sized vehicle, a driver who lifts, one upfront price.
What every SHIMI booking includes
Priced upfront
The quote you accept is the price you pay. No surge, no surprise line items.
Any vehicle, with a driver
From a half-ton bakkie to an 8-ton truck, with loading and offloading help.
Tracked door to door
Follow the trip on a live link from pickup to delivery.
Photo proof of delivery
A timestamped photo when your goods are placed. Drivers are vetted.
Furniture we move every day
Furniture is awkward to move and easy to damage, which is exactly why booking the right vehicle matters more than finding the cheapest one. SHIMI matches your load to a half-ton bakkie, a 1.5-ton truck or a 4-ton truck, sends a driver who helps carry, and shows you the full price before you commit. No hourly meter, no "we'll see on the day": the quote you accept is the price you pay.
Whether it is a single armchair from a Facebook Marketplace seller, a sleeper couch from a showroom, or a full lounge and bedroom set from a house you are leaving, the job is the same: get it there without a scratch. Our drivers wrap, lift and place the item where you want it, and you follow the whole trip on a live tracking link. When it lands, you get a timestamped photo as proof of delivery.
Most local furniture runs happen the same day. You pick a pickup window, pay securely by card, and the vehicle is dispatched. Because the price is built from distance and vehicle class rather than guesswork, moving a couch across town costs what the quote says, every time.

What's included
A driver who helps carry
Loading and offloading assistance is built in, so you are not lifting a two-seater on your own. Add extra offloading help at the quote step when a piece needs two pairs of hands.
Right-sized, not oversized
A single chair does not need a 4-ton truck. Tell us what you are moving and we suggest the smallest vehicle that fits, which keeps the price down.
Tracked with photo proof
Follow the driver on a live link and get a timestamped photo when your furniture is placed. No wondering where your couch is.

From the delivery note
“I went to the Rosebank store at 08h30 for a shower door. They didn't have stock so they called the Randburg store. They said I'd have the door delivered by 11am, and true to their word it arrived at 11am! Plus a super communication tool that kept me up to date with the delivery progress. Very impressed, well done.”
“The delivery guys were very friendly, helpful and took care whilst offloading. Well done. Very good service!”
“Quick, timely and efficient delivery. My item arrived in perfect condition. They notified me as to what time they'd deliver, and they arrived on time.”
