Two Ways to Get Your Item
When you buy on ShopBroker, you can choose how you'd like to receive your item. Both options include our payment protection, so you're covered either way.
Professional Delivery
Best for: Convenience, safety, and busy schedules
With delivery, our verified couriers handle everything:
Pick up from the seller
Bring your item right to your door
You don't need to meet anyone
We book the most affordable courier option for your route, so you get a great price without picking a plan. Most orders are picked up the next business day and delivered the same day they're collected. Some nearby orders arrive the next day. You'll see the exact delivery fee and estimated timing at checkout before you pay.
Delivery Pros:
We find you the most affordable courier option
No coordinating meetup times
No traveling to pick up
Professional, vetted couriers
Real-time tracking
Delivery Cons:
Delivery fee applies (varies by distance)
Only available in select service areas
Weight limits apply
Where We Deliver:
Delivery is available in select Canadian metropolitan areas. You'll see if delivery is available to your address during checkout.
In-Person Pickup
Best for: Large items, flexible schedules, or when you want to inspect before paying
With in-person pickup, you coordinate directly with the seller:
Agree on a meeting spot and time
Inspect the item in person
Release payment when you're satisfied
Pickup Pros:
No delivery fee
Inspect before you pay
Works for any item size
Available everywhere
Pickup Cons:
Requires coordinating schedules
You need to travel to pickup location
Takes more time
You're Protected Either Way
Here's the key thing: your payment is held securely until you confirm receipt, no matter which option you choose.
With delivery: Payment releases automatically when the courier confirms delivery.
With pickup: You tap "Release funds" after inspecting the item. If something's not right, you can walk away and cancel.
Quick Decision Guide
Choose Delivery If... | Choose Pickup If... |
You want convenience | Item exceeds weight limits |
You prefer not to meet strangers | You want to inspect first |
You're in a service area | You're flexible on timing |
Item meets weight requirements | You want to avoid the delivery fee |
Where You Choose
You pick your option at checkout, on Step 1 of the order flow. If the seller offers both, you'll see a two-card toggle (Delivery / Pickup) right at the top of the checkout card. Tap whichever you want, and the rest of the flow adjusts to match.
If the listing only offers one option (pickup-only or delivery-only), the available option is selected automatically and there's no toggle to choose from. Same for items that are too heavy for delivery or outside our service area; you'll land on pickup by default.
Not Sure? Ask the Seller
Sellers often have preferences too. Some may offer both options, while others prefer one over the other. The listing page tells you which options are available before you head to checkout.
