Step-by-Step Guide for Large Items
1
Prepare the Item
Clean the item thoroughly. For appliances, ensure they're disconnected and safe. Note any damage, wear, or issues clearly. Take measurements (length, width, height) and note the weight if possible - this helps people determine if they can transport it.
2
Photograph Well
Large items need multiple angles. Include:
- Full front view
- Side views
- Close-ups of any damage or wear
- Size reference (person or common object nearby)
3
Write a Detailed Description
Include all relevant information:
- Dimensions (L x W x H in cm)
- Weight (if known)
- Age and brand (if relevant)
- Condition and any flaws
- Whether it needs disassembly
- Floor/room location (ground floor, upstairs, etc.)
4
Arrange Collection
For large items, collection arrangements are crucial:
- Specify if you can help load: Many people appreciate help getting items into a van
- Access details: Mention stairs, narrow doorways, or parking restrictions
- Safety: Have someone with you if possible when showing/loading items
- Time windows: Be clear about when collection is possible (weekends, evenings, etc.)
Safety Tips
- Don't move heavy items alone - wait for the recipient to arrive with help
- For appliances, ensure they're safely disconnected before collection
- Have someone present during collection for safety
- Use proper lifting techniques if helping load
Disassembly Tips
Many large items can be disassembled to make transport easier. This can make your item much more attractive to recipients who don't have large vehicles.
- IKEA furniture: Usually comes apart easily - mention if you have assembly instructions
- Dining tables: Often removable legs make transport easier
- Wardrobes: Many come apart into panels - mention if tools are needed
- Bed frames: Usually can be taken apart
- If you can't disassemble: Be honest - some people may still be able to collect
