Your comment here explains the idea more than the website does. Why on earth don't you put more information on the actual website?

Not sure if the website has been changed since you made this comment, but at the moment the "How it works" section contains everything that was in that comment.

Yeah, looking at the website I had absolutely no idea what the service was offering.

This is the fashion. Startup websites aren't supposed to repel you with technical details on the home page. "Furniture, truck, phone, whitespace" is enough. What more do you need to know? Just click the button.

It's not technical details - It's that I literally didn't know what they were advertising. It wasn't until I read the comment that I understood the pickup would be from me, and that 50% for them(written under delivery for some bizarre reason) meant that they would be keeping 50% of the price. It wasn't clear enough.
