Real-time tracking on Craigslist deliveries
After you figure out how to deliver Craiglist items with Roadie, we’ll let you see exactly where your item is in real-time, and you can require a delivery signature upon completion to confirm that your delivery has been made.
A few tips on how to ship Craigslist items
- Secure Loose or Delicate Parts. Tape down or wrap any loose parts that may move around during transit.
- Take a Photo. When you create a Gig, you’ll take a photo of the item. The driver will take another photo upon delivery, to verify that it’s in perfect condition.
- Tie Down Large Items. If your item is large or heavy, be sure to provide tie-down straps or bungees to secure it.
Stories from the road
A two-hour delivery in the Big Apple
Kira recently moved into a New York apartment and was looking for furniture on Craigslist. She found a lovely glass coffee table and side table but doesn’t own a car and it would be impossible to carry them on the subway or in a taxi by herself.
Kira began searching for how to ship Craigslist items quickly and in a more affordable way. She had heard about Roadie from a friend, so she posted a Gig. Within two hours, Alejandro picked up and delivered the tables for just $35.
A 619-mile Gig delivered next day
Danny was doing some repairs on his car and needed a new hardtop to finish the updates. Budget-conscious, he looked on Craigslist for a deal. Seller Ron had a hardtop that was perfect for Danny’s car, but he was 619 miles away in East Canton, OH.
Danny knew how to deliver Craigslist items with no hassle and no wasteful packaging through Roadie, which he had used before to deliver car parts. He posted a Gig, and got an offer from Gaudenis within the day. Danny’s new hardtop was delivered to him in Huntsville, AL, by the end of the week.
