Bought furniture in-store, no car?

You're standing in a vintage shop, discount market, or second-hand store. In front of you: the perfect sideboard, a 70s floor lamp, or a shelf you've been searching for forever. The price is right. But then comes the question that can kill any deal: How do I get this home?

Why transport is often more expensive than the furniture itself

If you don't have a car or buy an item that doesn't fit in the trunk, you're facing a real problem. Shipping companies quickly charge €100 or more, often even more than the furniture itself cost. Rental cars are cumbersome and require planning. And the friendly request to friends with a van only works to a limited extent.

The result: Many simply leave the item behind. "Pick-up only" becomes the deal-killer.

The alternative: Someone is already driving in your direction

This is where MUVN comes in. MUVN is the ride-sharing service for items. Drivers who are already traveling from A to B have free space in their car, trailer, or van. You submit a request, describe your item, and where it needs to go. MUVN matches you with verified drivers on a suitable route.

The principle: No extra transport, no empty trips, but taking along on an existing route. That's why the costs are up to 80% cheaper than with traditional shipping companies.

How it works in 3 steps

First, download the MUVN app and submit a transport request. Describe what you want to transport (dimensions, weight, photos help), where it needs to go, and by when. In the second step, verified drivers will contact you with offers. You can see ratings, vehicle type, and price. In the third step, you agree with your driver, the transport takes place, and your item is insured through the Schunck Group.

The insurance applies within the framework of the applicable insurance conditions. What exactly is covered and what requirements apply can be found in the terms and conditions and insurance conditions at muvn.de/agb.

What items can I have transported?

Basically, anything that fits in a vehicle. Typical finds from vintage shops and second-hand stores: dressers, shelves, chairs, lamps, mirrors, decorative objects, turntables, bicycles. Bulkier items like sofas or dining tables are also possible if a driver with a suitable vehicle is available.

How much does it cost?

MUVN has no fixed prices. The price is determined individually between you and the driver. As a guideline: Many transports within a city start at €29. Even for longer distances, you often pay just a fraction of the shipping costs.

Conclusion: No car? No problem.
