3. Same-day flippers on Asherfield

- Fix small flaws, then resell—keeping good pieces in use.
- Save you from lifting heavy items or waiting weeks.
Just enter your ZIP, text a flipper, and your free couch removal is set—no Facebook haggling hamster wheel.
Quick booking checklist
- Clean the piece. Wipe surfaces; tighten loose legs.
- Snap photos. Some services ask for a picture first.
- Clear a path. Movers won’t move boxes to reach the sofa.
- Be home. Charity drivers need a signature for the tax slip.
