These days, Nairobians are changing how they shop.


Forget big stores or furniture showrooms, all you need is your phone, data bundles, and an Instagram account.


That’s how one of our recent clients ended up owning a beautiful 5x6 bed.


Instagram has become a great place to get great deals on used items, especially for those who love decluttered or second-hand furniture.


You scroll, spot a good deal, call the seller, and boom! You’ve secured a quality piece for less.

But the big question always comes after payment: how will I transport this thing?

That’s exactly where Ask for Transport in Nairobi came in.

Transport from Riverside Drive to South B


One morning, we got a message from a client who had just bought a decluttered 5 by 6 bed. He needed Transport from Riverside Drive to South B


He was super excited because the bed was in great condition, and the seller was giving it away at a throwaway price.


Apparently, the seller was moving out of their apartment in Riverside Drive and needed the bed gone ASAP.


The buyer lived in South B, and like many people, he didn’t own a car big enough to move such a huge item.

He Googled “Ask for transport,” landed on our site, and decided to give us a try.


He explained the situation, sent us pictures of the bed, and told us where it was being picked up from.


Straightforward, right? But as always, when you’re dealing with a third-party seller, proper coordination is key.


We needed to first confirm the bed was paid for and we were not dealing with fraud.

Before we even left our location, we asked the client to share the seller’s name, phone number, apartment name, floor number, and any gate instructions.


These small details make a big difference in how smooth a pickup goes.


Once we had all that info, we called the seller and introduced ourselves as the transport team coming on behalf of the buyer.


The seller was polite and clear with directions.


We agreed on a pickup time, and everything was set.


When we arrived at Riverside Drive, we parked the van, met the seller at the gate, and headed up to the apartment.


The bed was already disassembled and neatly packed, which made our work easier. The seller even helped us load the bed into the van.


Riverside Drive to South B


Now, for those who don’t know Nairobi well, Riverside Drive and South B are not that far from each other.


But when you’re transporting a bulky item like a 5 by 6 bed, it’s not just about distance — it’s about traffic, road conditions, and careful handling.


Luckily, it was early in the afternoon with light traffic (thankfully not end-month), so we took the route via Valley Road, through Mombasa Road, then cut into South B via Bellevue.


The bed was securely tied with ropes to avoid damage or movement during the drive.


Since this was a heavy hardwood bed, we had one loader on board to assist with lifting and positioning the bed parts inside the van.


No drama. No dents. No scratches. Just clean, professional delivery — the Ask for Transport way.


Safe Arrival in South B


When we arrived at the client’s gate in South B, he was already waiting with a smile on his face and excitement in his eyes.


We helped him offload and reassemble the bed in his preferred room.



Lessons from This Delivery


Here are a few lessons from this one that can help you next time you buy something big online:

  • Always get full details from the seller. Apartment name, gate instructions, floor number — all of that makes the work faster.

  • Communicate clearly. Let both the seller and the transporter know when to expect each other.

  • Disassemble big furniture if possible. It makes it easier to carry and transport without damage.

  • Use a reliable mover. This is not the time to call random guys from Facebook groups. Your item might get lost or damaged before it gets to you.
