Rehoming, Your Way: 4 Delivery Options That Work for You

Because every treasure deserves a smooth send-off (preferably without anyone awkwardly handing you a crumpled twenty).

Selling second-hand furniture on Déjà Décor is already a planet-loving power move. But once your listing is live and the offers start rolling in, it’s time for the next big question:

“How do I get this fabulous piece to its new home?”

Good news: you’ve got four stress-free options, and yes — they’re all as easy as fluffing a cushion.

🚗 1. Buyer Pickup — The No-Fuss, Neighbourhood Way

Your buyer lives nearby and wants to pick it up themselves? Perfect.

This is the most straightforward option if you’re available for a quick handoff and comfortable coordinating directly.

Works best for:

  • Small to medium pieces that are easy to carry
  • Sellers who are home and flexible on timing
  • Buyers with access to a car or a very strong friend

Quick Tips:

  • Clean and prep your item before pickup
  • Choose a location that’s easy and safe
  • Confirm the pickup time clearly to avoid no-shows

🌿 2. Leave It with Love — The No-Meetup Method

Live in a quiet, safe area and selling something small? Some sellers prefer to leave items outside for buyers to grab at their convenience.

It’s the ultimate low-effort handoff — no scheduling, no small talk.

Works best for:

  • Small, low-value pieces like nightstands, decor, or lamps
  • Suburban areas or places with porches, garages, or lockers
  • Buyers who just need to swing by and scoop

Use common sense here:

  • Don’t leave expensive or fragile items outdoors
  • Make sure the weather plays nice ☀️ (or use a covered bin or tote)
  • Clearly communicate the exact pickup location

❄️ Not always ideal in Montreal’s winter wonderland or in busy urban spots, but for Saint-Lazare and smaller towns? Absolutely.

📬 3. Ship It — Mail It with Style

If your buyer isn’t local and your item fits in a box, shipping is on the table! Think smaller decor, framed art, textiles, or even dismantled furniture.

Works best for:

  • Compact or modular pieces
  • Buyers across provinces
  • You’ve got a sturdy box and a little packing patience

Pro Shipping Tips:

  • Disassemble furniture if needed and label small parts
  • Use eco-friendly padding (blankets, paper, reused bubble wrap)
  • Track your shipment and communicate timelines

All shipping costs are shown on the listing page — no guesswork, no surprise fees.
