Leboncoin adds two simple and affordable options for having heavy or bulky purchases delivered. Get items up to 130 kg, or very bulky furniture, delivered throughout France from €19.49.
If you buy second-hand items on Leboncoin, it's likely that, in most cases, you'll opt to go to the seller's premises to pick everything up yourself. But if you trust the seller, and they are far from you, delivery can be a fairly convenient alternative. However, depending on what you decided to purchase, this option was, unfortunately, not always available.
In the spotlight, bulky items, such as furniture, wardrobes, sofas, or very heavy items such as household appliances, often escaped these facilities for the buyer. Even if little-known options remained available in certain cases. Since delivery remained possible for items weighing up to 30 kg. As soon as we talk about furniture or large equipment, however, distance quickly became a barrier to purchase.
Buying used bulky items becomes easier
This is why Leboncoin is evolving its delivery options for this type of bulky item. From now on, if you are buying a very heavy item, up to 130 kg, or a very bulky item, Leboncoin is offering, with Relais Colis, a new “XL Delivery” option. Available throughout France, the delivery of bulky items is based on 1,300 Relais Colis points, including a thousand that handle items weighing less than 40 kg and less than 250 cm in length, and 300 that can accommodate purchases between 20 and 40 kg or with dimensions greater than 2.50 meters.
Delivery rates are intended to be reasonable, with fees starting at just €19.50. Although this amount can vary depending on your purchase. For example, according to the examples provided by Leboncoin, a bed is likely to incur a fee of €80, a chair can generate an average delivery fee of €35. While a sofa, which is very heavy and bulky, can cost more towards €200 for delivery.
Using this option is very simple: just select it when purchasing. Adding this facility allows the platform to increase the attractiveness of its furniture and appliance listings. There are 8 million in total on the site to date. Leboncoin specifies that XL Delivery is currently limited to these two categories. But promises to add new types of eligible products in the coming months.
