David found the perfect sectional couch on Facebook Marketplace. The seller was in Renton. David lives in Kent. The price was right—just $80 for a barely-used couch worth $900 new.
But there was one problem: David drives a Honda Civic.
He tried TaskRabbit. No one accepted the job. He called U-Haul—they wanted $89 just for the van rental, plus he’d have to drive it himself and recruit a friend to help lift.
Then he found Tymli Errands.
We picked up the couch in Renton at 2:15 PM and delivered it to Kent by 3:45 PM. Total cost: $95. Done.
Why Marketplace Pickups Are Hard to Book
If you’ve ever tried to buy furniture on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or OfferUp, you know the struggle:
The item is perfect. The price is great. But you can’t get it home.
Most delivery services won’t touch marketplace pickups because:
- They can’t confirm dimensions ahead of time
- They don’t want to deal with seller coordination
- They require advance booking (marketplace items sell fast)
- They charge minimums that make a $80 couch cost $300 to deliver
So people pass on amazing deals—or they risk renting a U-Haul and figuring it out themselves.
The Renton to Kent Couch Pickup Job
Here’s how David’s delivery went:
1:30 PM – David Books the Pickup David messaged us on Facebook. He sent us:
- The couch listing (with photos and dimensions)
- Seller’s address in Renton
- His delivery address in Kent
- Pickup availability: “seller says anytime after 2 PM today”
We quoted him $95 flat and confirmed we could be in Renton by 2:15 PM.
2:15 PM – Pickup in Renton We met the seller at a house near the Renton Highlands. The sectional couch had three pieces. We wrapped each section in moving blankets, loaded them into our van, and confirmed everything was secure.
Total pickup time: 18 minutes.
2:45 PM – On the Road to Kent Renton to Kent is a quick 15-minute drive down 167. No traffic, no delays.
3:00 PM – Delivery in Kent We unloaded all three couch sections and carried them up to David’s second-floor apartment. Positioned them in his living room. Done by 3:45 PM.
David’s reaction: “I can’t believe how easy that was. I was about to give up on the couch.”
