On the day of pick-up, the item needs to be standing by the front door and you need to help the delivery person if needed.
- Pick-up from home: if the buyer chooses this option, the buyer will pick up the order. After the purchase you both will be connected in a chat to discuss the pick up. Make sure to both confirm in the chat that the item has been picked up. This is needed to approve the payment for your item.

- Good as new: the product is used, but there is no damage or traces of use such as stains
- Used: the product has been used and it contains some damage or signs of use such as stains, but it is still usable.
Notice:
It is important that all damages and traces of use are clearly indicated in the ad by means of photos and text. Does your product deviate from the stated condition? Then the buyer can request a return. You will be held responsible for the cost as it was your responsibility to provide a clear description / pictures of the damages.
