The courier for secondhand — Raleigh-Durham

Buy the couch.
We move it.

Dash N' Dip is the on-demand pickup and delivery service for everything you buy secondhand — furniture, appliances, and the bulky finds that never fit in a car. Spot it on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, or anywhere local. We load it, haul it, and it lands at your door.

DoorDash for things. Not food — the stuff that needs a truck.

How it works

Three steps from listing to living room

No trailer rental, no begging a friend with a truck, no awkward meetup with a stranger in a parking lot.

1

Find your item

Browse Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Nextdoor, or Craiglist. Any local listing, any seller — you don't need to leave the couch.

2

Book a Dash

Schedule a pickup window. Your courier screens the seller, inspects the item, and sends you photos before anything gets loaded.

3

It shows up

The item lands at your door, handled with blankets and straps. Your tip goes 100% to the person who hauled it.

Services

Built for the every-weekend haul

Courier and delivery first. Everything else grows out of the same fleet and the same trust.

Core service

Dash Delivery

On-demand pickup and delivery for marketplace purchases. Buy a dresser, a washer, a dining set — schedule a window and a vetted courier does the lifting. Trucks, blankets, straps, and an actual human who treats your find like it's breakable, because it is.

Same-day windowsFlexible pickup slots built around the seller's schedule, not yours.
Value-based pricingCouriers earn a commission tied to the item's value, plus your tip.
Careful by defaultBlankets, straps, dollies — the gear comes with the job.
Curated resale

The Dip

The curated side of the market. We buy standout pieces at a discount, inspect them, store them, and re-list them locally. If it's in The Dip, it's already vetted, clean, and delivery-ready — fixed price, delivery baked in, no haggling.

Inspected & honestEvery piece checked before it's listed — no "like new" surprises.
Stored, not resold coldInventory held until the right buyer surfaces, at zero cash burden on you.
Delivery includedPrice you see is the price you pay. It arrives with the same fleet.

Vetted Pickup

A courier screens the seller first — confirms the listing's real, checks condition, and snapshots it before loading. No more no-shows, misrepresented items, or scam meetups.

Point-to-Point Haul

Single-item moves and local hauling. An estate-sale score, a free "curb alert," or a hand-me-down across town — point A to point B without renting a trailer.

Seller Pickup

A pickup-and-deliver fleet for flippers, estate-sale runners, and local resellers. Move inventory without owning a truck, paying for gas, or lifting a finger.

Where it's headed

From courier to the local market for used & rare

Delivery is the foundation. The marketplace is what the same fleet makes possible — the two move together.

Engine one · Dash

The mover

A 1099 courier fleet that owns the last mile. Delivery is baked into the price at launch, so there's no surprise fee — and the fleet is what makes every flip and find actually reachable.

  • Owned last-mile logistics, not a rented trailer
  • Delivery rolled into price — free delivery, no line item
  • Couriers paid on item value + tips, so care is rewarded
Engine two · Dip

The curator

Local marketplaces are where genuinely rare items surface — the discontinued table, the one-of-one armchair, the thing nobody makes anymore. The Dip finds them, vets them, stores them, and delivers them.

  • Bought at a discount, re-listed at a fair fixed price
  • Rare & vintage surfaced instead of lost in the feed
  • Vetted, clean, and delivery-ready the moment you buy

Why now, why Raleigh

A market that never stops changing addresses

Raleigh-Durham is one of the fastest-growing metros in the country — which means constant furniture churn, constant estate-sale finds, and a steady stream of good stuff that has no way to get from one home to the next.

FAQ

What people ask first

What can you actually deliver?

Furniture, appliances, bulky and oversized goods, and single items that don't fit in a car. At launch we focus on smaller and sturdier pieces so the experience is reliably good — then we widen the net. Not hazmat, not perishables, not food.

How much does delivery cost?

At launch, delivery is baked into the item's price — no separate fee, no surprise line item. Couriers earn a commission tied to the item's value plus your tip. Down the road we may unbundle into clearer delivery/service pricing as the model scales.

Where do you operate?

Raleigh-Durham to start. It's a market we know well — high turnover, high-income transplants, and a constant flow of secondhand finds.

Is it just a delivery service?

It starts as a courier. The marketplace — The Dip — grows out of the same fleet: vetted, inspected, delivery-ready used and rare items. The mover and the curator are two engines on one chassis.

The good stuff is already out there. It just needs a ride.
