Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist & OfferUp pickup with a truck

BoxHauls picks up Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and OfferUp purchases in Fresno and Clovis. You agree on the price with the seller, book the seller’s address as pickup, and a driver with a pickup brings it home. The trip costs $17.00 plus $3.10 a mile. It’s one of the furniture and large-item delivery services.
