Tell me what needs collecting and where it needs to go.
I collect purchases and parcels from homes, shops and workplaces around Cincinnati. Tell me what needs picking up, where it’s waiting and where you’d like it delivered. I’ll check the size, the trip and any stairs, then give you a price before we choose a time.
Ask about this pickupBefore the pickup.
Please include:
- A photo or clear description of each item
- Both neighborhoods and any timing limits

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.
Work out the handoff before the trip.
Let me know who I’m collecting from and who will be there for the delivery. If you need another stop, include it in the first request. I’ll confirm the exact addresses, lifting involved and delivery price with you before we choose a time.
A few things to know.
Can you collect something outside my neighborhood?
Yes. The pickup and dropoff can be in different communities. Send both locations so I can check the full journey.
What does the price depend on?
The complete drive, time, number of stops and handling involved. You’ll receive a price before the pickup is confirmed.
Can I use the form for something unusual?
Yes. Describe it and add a listing or photo reference where available. I’ll check whether it’s suitable for the vehicle and one-person handling.

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.
