How about an e-marketplace for your pre-loved furniture and home decor?
Decosouq is the first e-marketplace for buying and selling pre-loved furniture and home decor. To offer a simple yet trustworthy platform, Decosouq makes the process of buying and selling second-hand furniture and home decor easier and safer by taking care of quality, storage, packaging and assembly.
Launched in 2016, in Turkey, Decosouq also brings forward hassle-free solutions in the second-hand furniture market as they eliminate awkward meetings with strangers by providing professional delivery services.
In an effort to create a circular economy, Decosouq believes in promoting sustainability by providing a range of pre-loved home-decor items that cater to everyone’s needs.
Decosouq curates items so that the buyers can simply browse the website, add the item of their choice to the cart and check out with secure online payment through PayPal and all major credit cards. In case of unmentioned defect or additional damage, they also allow return within 48 hours.
From exploring pre-loved furniture from most-loved brands like Marina Homes, Crate & Barrel, Ebarza, Danube Home, JYSK, Pottery Barn to turning gently used furniture into cash, selling through Decosouq is simple – all customers have to do is upload a picture of their item on the website, along with a description and the desired price to list it. After the listing is created, Decosouq reviews and publishes the listing, open for people to purchase the furniture. Once the item has been bought, Decosouq offers door to door service by providing collection and delivery. Customers then get the payment within a matter of days of the sale.
“Having launched our services only a few months back, we have approved thousands of listings, welcoming first key accounts and growing 40-50% in GMV sales month over month. We at Decosouq are using technology and third-party services to introduce new and smart ways of selling & buying pre-loved furniture. Our aim is to change the circular economy landscape with one piece of furniture at a time. We also want to help all our sellers and buyers build 100% trust by having a hassle-free experience with Decosouq” said, Emir Tumen, founder of Decosouq.
Whether it is moving out of the country or shifting to a new home, Decosouq also offers consignment service, where they take care of the storage for furniture on their customer’s behalf. Sellers simply have to select the consignment option when creating the listing.
