How this helps Preloved sellers
If you are placing an advert in the furniture, motoring or garden categories on Preloved, then an AnyVan quote box will be automatically added to your advert. This is based on the information you provide during the advert creation process. No additional action required!
With this added feature to help buyers budget in overall costs of an item and its delivery, sellers should see an increase in buyer interest from across the UK. Sellers will no longer have to consider delivery costs when negotiating prices for their items. With this handy tool, buyers will be able to include delivery costs into their overall budget.
In order for buyers to organise their delivery, all you will be required to do is agree a date for pick up with the buyer when they get in touch. AnyVan will take away the stresses of planning delivery with the buyer so you can concentrate on getting the best price for your item.
