With the right preparations and choices, selling your furniture online can be easier and cheaper. You not only have the inconvenience but also the real pleasure of selling. More space in your home, with a full wallet. Time to share these tips with you! Are you ready for it?

Tip 1: Measure your used furniture accurately

You are going to sell your second-hand furniture and therefore know that it will soon have to be transported to the new owner. Besides the price, this is one of the first things you should discuss: how can the piece of furniture be picked up or shipped? In that case, it is useful to know the dimensions of the used or second-hand furniture, so that you know which transport is appropriate. This way you can discover whether a car is enough for you or whether you need to rent a trailer or bus. It would be a shame if you spent too much money on transportation that is not necessary at all.

Tip 2: Check whether the furniture needs protection

The last thing you want is damage during transport of the furniture. Therefore, also see if you can make some preparations. When the buyer comes to pick up the piece of furniture, this is often up to the buyer himself. However, he or she often appreciates it when you have come up with something, especially if the person has not yet thought about it. Are you going to send the furniture yourself? Then the furniture must be well protected! Think of large boxes, cardboard, bubble wrap, and newspapers. More tips on transporting fragile items.

Tip 3: Send smaller furniture by post

Sometimes it is not necessary at all to transport or have the used or second-hand furniture collected yourself. This can sometimes be a bit enthusiastic, especially if the buyer lives on the other side of the Netherlands. In that case, it is of course also possible to send the piece of furniture by post. There are of course some additional costs involved. Make sure you inform the buyer in advance of these additional costs and that he or she will bear them. You sometimes need more than one box to ship this furniture. Fortunately, you can usually take boxes for free at the supermarket. Is your furniture too big for a box? Then make sure you improvise. Multiple boxes and enough duct tape can often go a long way. It's better to use too much duck tape than too little because you don't want the package to fall apart along the way!
