Opening in Manchester
Good furniture, delivered kindly.
A Manchester marketplace for second-hand furniture with the delivery built in — so buying a second-hand sofa is as simple as buying a brand new one.
Tell me when it opensWhy we are building it
Second-hand furniture is easy to find. Getting it home is the hard part.
You can already find a good solid wood table on eBay, Gumtree or in a charity shop. What you cannot do is buy it the way you would buy new. The delivery is always somewhere else — a separate app, a separate set of quotes, a separate day to book, and a van you have to hope it fits in.
So people give up and buy new instead, and a perfectly good table goes in a skip. Mubli puts the two halves back together: the furniture and the delivery, one price, one checkout. Second-hand, as easy as new.
How it will work
Find something good
Real pieces from real homes and charity shops, all within Greater Manchester. One price, delivery included — no working out what a van costs afterwards.
Pick a day that suits
Choose when it arrives. A local driver collects it from the seller and brings it to you, so neither of you needs a van or a favour from a friend.
Or collect it yourself
If it is round the corner and you have got the boot space, collection is free. The choice is yours, and the price says so up front.

Charities
Good furniture can do good too.
Mubli gives local reuse charities another way to get furniture into homes — while keeping 100% of their asking price.
Individuals and charities sell side by side, and a charity listing always says so.

What we are trying to do
A Manchester company, and a fairly small idea.
Less in the skip
Furniture gets thrown out every day in Manchester that somebody else would have been glad of. Usually it goes because moving it is harder than replacing it.
Better furniture, for less
Delivery is not free, and on a heavy, well-made piece it can cost more than a flat-pack one would. But the furniture and the delivery together still come to a fraction of what the same thing costs new — which is what puts solid wood within reach.
Steadier work for drivers
A van driver’s day is mostly a scramble: a job here, another across the city, and a lot of time spent looking for the next one. We group deliveries into routes so we can offer a full day’s work at a rate agreed up front, rather than one more job to chase.
Be there when it opens.
Mubli is opening in Manchester soon. Leave your name and email and we'll let you know the day it does.
Where we are up to, honestly
Mubli is not open yet. We are building it in Manchester, talking to charity shops, drivers and anyone who will tell us what we have got wrong. If you run a shop with furniture to move, or you drive a van and this sounds like work you would want, we would like to hear from you — hello@mubli.co.uk.
