Musical instrument pickup and delivery.
A cased instrument, collected from a seller, shop or repairer.
If you’ve bought an instrument or need one collected from a shop, send its details and the case size. I can review suitable local pickups and deliveries, including a repair-shop handoff. The instrument needs appropriate protection for transport before collection.
Ask about this pickupBefore the pickup.
Please include:
- The type of instrument and outside case dimensions
- Weight and any handling instructions
- The shop or seller’s release authorization
It needs to fit inside my SUV and be safe for me to carry on my own. A few photos, the measurements and a note about any stairs help me plan the pickup.
Include the case and all accessories in the request.
Tell me whether the order also includes a stand, amplifier or other equipment, with measurements for each piece. I’ll check the combined load rather than assume it’s just the instrument. Pay the seller or repairer directly and confirm the item is ready for collection.
A few things to know.
Can you collect a guitar bought locally?
Yes, if it is suitably protected and the case fits. Send the listing, case dimensions and collection instructions.
Do you transport pianos?
No. This is a one-person SUV service for suitable cased instruments and manageable equipment.
Can you take an instrument to a repair shop?
Yes, by arrangement. Confirm the shop is expecting it and provide the receiving and release instructions.

Back to your pickup detailsHow much will it cost?
It depends on the drive, what you’re picking up, and how much lifting is involved. I’ll give you a price before you decide. Let me know about stairs or a tight pickup window.
Can you pick up today?
Same-day pickups depend on my availability and the seller’s pickup window. A little notice helps me fit you in. Your pickup is confirmed once you and I have agreed on a time and price.
Do I pay the seller directly?
Yes. Pay the seller for the item and let them know Porchbound will pick it up. You’ll pay me separately for the delivery, at the agreed price.
Can you pick up my item?
Send a photo or listing and rough measurements, and I’ll check whether I can carry it safely and fit it in the car. I work on my own, so I can’t take anything that needs two people to lift. Mention any stairs at either end, too.
