Selling bulky products

For a product to be considered bulky it must be in the category "Home and garden" or "Household appliances" and meet at least one of these characteristics:

• It weighs more than 30 kg.
• The largest dimension exceeds 120 cm.
• The sum of the length, height and width exceeds 210 cm.
   

Sofas, washing machines, tables, cabinets, cupboards, shelves and other household appliances and furniture are considered bulky goods.

To use this service as a seller you must follow the following instructions:

At the moment of publishing the product

• Upload photos where the item to be shipped is clearly visible in order to avoid inconveniences or misunderstandings during pick-up. 
   
• Keep in mind that for the moment only one item per transaction is allowed. In case you want to send more than one product/item, you will have to create separate publications. For example, if you want to sell two sofas, even if they are from the same set, you will need to create two separate publications.
• Confirm the measurements (length, width and height) so that Method can take into account the space you will need for shipping.

When the product is purchased, you will receive an email from Method indicating that they will call you within 24 hours to coordinate the day and time slot that best suits you to pick up the product, within the next 3 business days.

The day of collection

• Approximately half an hour before the time slot you have chosen, Method will contact you to confirm that someone will be present at the address.
   
• As long as the product fits in the elevator (if there is one) or stairway and goes through all the doors, you will not need to disassemble it. If it is necessary for you to do so, Method will let you know in advance (please note that the operators do not do the disassembly).
   
• The transport company will take care of packing and picking up the product, so you will not have to bring it down to the doorway or to the street.
• Once the product is picked up, it will first be transferred to Method's warehouse where the packing and protection of the product will be completed, and then it will be sent to the buyer's home.
