eBay UK has started partnering with HubEurope to enable sellers to offer bulky parcel delivery and 2-person services (delivery to room, assembly, redundant item removal).
eBay is branding this as “Seller Managed Services” and seems to be offering similar options in other countries
This could significantly impact the ecommerce businesses of John Lewis, AO.com, Argos (and other online sellers of furniture, bulky electricals & electronics, sports equipment, home improvement items etc.) as eBay (and Amazon) generally haven’t been able to offer fulfilment options/pricing for more complex and larger fulfilments.
