Kaiyo's Instant Offer feature is the first of its kind in the furniture industry and it was devised to provide sellers with immediate gratification as soon as their furniture has been picked up. With this feature, sellers benefit from being able to cash out their earnings without needing to wait to sell their furniture.
This new feature supports the selling of secondhand furniture by incentivizing convenience and faster payouts. Kaiyo offers fast and free furniture pickups for its community of users and the platform takes care of cleaning, photographing, storing and delivering each piece to the buyer.
Alpay Koralturk, CEO & Founder of Kaiyo, says "We launched Kaiyo because there was no convenient, planet-friendly/sustainable way for sellers to get rid of their furniture – causing 33 billion pounds of furniture to go to landfills annually according to the EPA."
