Curbside Delivery in Des Moines, IA
Marketplace and Kijiji Pickups — Curbside-to-Curbside Delivery
From a single Facebook Marketplace pickup near Pappajohn Sculpture Park to a multi-item haul from Jordan Creek Town Center, our Curbside Pickup & Delivery marketplace connects you with independent service providers who bring the vehicle, moving blankets, tie-downs, and labor needed to collect your purchase and deliver it safely to your door. One simple booking process covers Kijiji pickups, online marketplace transactions, store curbside retrieval, and same-day deliveries throughout Greater Des Moines, across Iowa, and to destinations throughout the United States.
Curbside Pickup & Delivery is built for everything from picking up a dresser in the East Village to collecting outdoor furniture from a seller in Ankeny, West Des Moines, or Urbandale. Our independent providers know Des Moines inside and out — navigating I-235, I-35/I-80, Grand Avenue, and Ingersoll Avenue, and coordinating pickups in neighborhoods like Sherman Hill, Beaverdale, Drake, and Highland Park. Multi-stop routes are fully supported: grab a couch from a seller near the Iowa State Capitol, swing by South of Grand for a table, and finish with a final pickup in Clive — all on one booking.
How It Works

What makes moving & delivery in Des Moines different
Des Moines neighborhoods feature a mix of historic single-family homes and modern apartments, with Sherman Hill known for Victorian walk-ups requiring careful moving logistics.
Winter snow and ice are common from December through March, often requiring flexible delivery scheduling and driveway snow removal before large-item drop-offs.
Downtown and East Village parking restrictions and meter zones require advance planning for delivery vehicles during weekday business hours.

What's Included
What affects the price in Des Moines?
Your quote is calculated upfront from these factors — you see the exact price before you book, and it only changes if the job details change.
The drive between the seller or store and your curb sets the base price.
Anything that fits a cargo van rides at the standard rate; oversized items may need a bigger vehicle.
Combining several marketplace pickups into one multi-stop run costs a small per-stop fee — far less than separate trips.
If the seller is late or the store queue is long, waiting beyond the included window is billed per interval.
Curbside is the budget option — the driver loads and unloads at the curb. Add inside delivery if you need the item carried in.
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.

What our customers say

“Used it for a Kijiji bike pickup. Driver was on time and friendly. Proof photos arrived before I did.”
“Great for online marketplace stuff. Just remember it really is curb-only — not inside delivery.”
