Marketplace and Kijiji Pickups — Curbside-to-Curbside Delivery with Vehicle and Driver

From a single Facebook Marketplace pickup near Washington Park to a multi-item Kijiji haul in Colonie, our Curbside Pickup & Delivery marketplace connects you with independent drivers who bring the vehicle, straps, and blankets needed to safely transport your items from seller to doorstep. One simple booking process covers marketplace pickups, curbside-to-curbside delivery, furniture transportation, appliance hauls, and multi-stop routes throughout the Capital Region and across state lines into Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

Curbside Pickup & Delivery is built for Albany's marketplace shoppers — whether you're collecting a dining set from a seller on Madison Avenue, picking up equipment near the Empire State Plaza, or coordinating deliveries across Guilderland, Delmar, Latham, and Loudonville. Our independent drivers understand the Capital Region's layout, navigating Central Avenue, Western Avenue, Washington Avenue, and Interstate 87 while managing Albany's historic rowhouses and tight parking in neighborhoods like Center Square and Downtown Albany. Multi-stop pickups are fully supported: grab a couch in Pine Hills, swing by a seller near the USS Slater, and finish at your home in North Albany — all on one booking.

What makes moving & delivery in Albany different

Albany's historic rowhouses and brownstones often require careful navigation of narrow staircases and tight doorways during moves.

Winter weather between November and March frequently impacts delivery schedules, with snow removal and street parking restrictions in effect.

Many downtown buildings and older homes lack elevators, making furniture delivery labor-intensive in neighborhoods like Center Square.

Why choose VanDeliveryApp for curbside delivery

Curbside Delivery is the lightest, fastest version of moving things. One driver, one cargo van, item picked up at one curb (or driveway, or store loading dock) and dropped at another curb. No stairs, no inside placement, no two-person crew — which keeps it 30–50% cheaper than a full furniture delivery and makes it the most popular service for marketplace buys.

Designed for marketplace and store pickups

Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, Craigslist, OfferUp, store curbside pickup. The seller (or store) has the item ready at the curb; the driver loads with their help in 5 minutes; off they go.

30–50% cheaper than full furniture delivery

One driver instead of two, no inside placement, no stair surcharge. The price reflects the lighter scope — which is exactly what most marketplace finds need.

Same-day in 2–4 hours from booking

Most curbside deliveries complete same-day, typically within 2–4 hours of booking. Drivers are dispatched to the nearest available van.

Live GPS and photo proof both ends

Even at the lower price point, you get full tracking: live GPS, photo at pickup (so you can verify the seller actually loaded what they promised), photo at drop-off.

When people book curbside delivery

Real-world scenarios this service is built for — pick the one closest to yours when you book.

1Facebook Marketplace furniture buys

You bought a couch on Marketplace. Seller cannot deliver. Book curbside, driver picks it up, you tip the driver, done — much cheaper than renting a U-Haul for two hours.

2Costco / Home Depot oversize pickups

Bought a treadmill, large outdoor planter, or lumber bundle at Costco or Home Depot and it does not fit in your sedan? Curbside delivery from the parking lot to your home.

3Kijiji bike, kayak, or paddleboard pickups

Outdoor gear on Kijiji often comes from someone in a suburb with no delivery option. Curbside delivery from their garage to yours, often for $40–$80 in-city.

4Small-business inter-store transfers

Salon, café, or shop owner needs to move stock between two locations or to a popup market? Curbside is half the price of a "full move" booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "curbside" mean exactly?
It means the item is already at the curb, driveway, garage, or loading dock, and will be dropped at the same type of location on the other end. The driver will not go inside, up stairs, or into apartments/condos.
What if my item needs to come inside?
If you need inside delivery, choose Appliance & Furniture Delivery or Moving & Delivery instead — those include a 2-person crew and inside-home delivery.
Can the driver help load/unload?
The driver will assist with standard-size items at the curb, but for heavy or multi-person items, you should book a service with a 2-person crew.
Is this good for marketplace purchases?
Yes — Curbside Delivery is the most popular choice for Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, Craigslist, and local store pickups where the seller leaves the item at the curb.
How fast is curbside delivery?
Most curbside deliveries are completed same-day, often within 2–4 hours of booking, depending on driver availability in your area.
How is curbside cheaper than regular delivery?
It is one driver instead of two, no inside-home placement, and no stair surcharge. The price reflects the lighter scope. If you need anything beyond curb-to-curb, switch to Appliance & Furniture or Moving & Delivery.
What if the seller is not at home when the driver arrives?
The driver tries to call/text first. If the pickup fails, you are charged a small failed-pickup fee (covers the driver's time). We always confirm pickup-availability with the seller before dispatching to avoid this.
What if the item does not fit in a small van?
The booking flow shows you which van size fits which items. If you book a small van and the item turns out larger than expected, the driver photographs it and the booking auto-upgrades to a sprinter van at the higher tier price — no surprise, just transparent.
What if the seller is not home when the driver arrives?
The driver calls and texts on arrival. If the pickup fails after 15 minutes of attempts, a small "failed-pickup" fee applies ($25–$40) to compensate the driver. We always recommend confirming pickup-availability with the seller before booking.
Can curbside delivery do multiple stops?
Yes — up to 3 stops total on a single curbside booking. Common pattern: pick up from one seller, swing by a store for a complementary item, deliver to your home. Add stops at booking; each adds a small per-stop fee.
