- or use porch pickup if you’re comfortable
See our full Safety Tips page for more.
9. Do you offer shipping?
Each seller decides whether they offer shipping. If shipping is available, it should be clearly stated in the listing details. If it’s not mentioned, buyers can simply message the seller to ask.
Our platform is designed primarily for local connections, but shipping is available when sellers choose to provide it.
