Aptdeco Review

What is AptDeco?

It starts out similar to Craiglist: With AptDeco, you create an online listing for each piece of furniture you’re looking to sell. A buyer submits an offer to buy through AptDeco, and you have 24 hours to accept it (AptDeco keeps 14%-19%, depending on the selling price). When it’s time to exchange goods, though, AptDeco can step in and pick up the item from you and deliver it to the buyer–eliminating no-shows and cancellations. Payments are handled by AptDeco, processing when they pick up the item and post to your account within 24-48 hours.

How does AptDeco work?

Although the AptDeco site has no app, it’s still worth a look if you live near New York City or Washington — the only areas where it is currently available — because it offers pickup and delivery services.

When you post a product, the site recommends a price based on the original cost, condition, popularity, and past sale prices of similar items. Your photos are edited, so your items look as if they were shot against a white backdrop.

But this level of service comes at a price: The site takes a cut of your sale — which can be as much as 29 percent — on top of the delivery fee, which varies depending on size. Extra-large items requiring a team of three or more to move are generally $145; large items like beds and sofas are $95, and small items like lamps are $35.

What are the requirements to work for AptDeco?

Listing items on the site is easy. You name your item and provide as much information as possible, the company helps you with the visuals, and then up it goes.
