How it works

From listing to your doorstep.

Four steps, one promise: you're never charged for an item that hasn't been checked by a person.

  1. 01

    Search everything nearby

    Type what you're after and Kwibal shows the freshest finds within about 25 miles — with real distances from you, not vague neighborhoods. Listings are freshness-bounded: if it's on Kwibal, it's probably still buyable.

  2. 02

    Buy now, or name your price

    Pay the asking price, or make an offer and watch the gauge — Kwibal scores every offer's chance of success before you commit. Either way, checkout places a hold on your card. Held means held: $0 has moved.

  3. 03

    A human verifies your order

    Before any money changes hands, a Kwibal employee confirms your item is real, as-described, and still available. If it checks out, your card is charged and the pickup is scheduled. If it doesn't, the hold is released — you pay nothing, ever, for an unverified item.

  4. 04

    Delivered to your door

    A Kwibal driver collects the item from the seller and brings it to you — same day or next. Delivery is priced by actual driving miles and quoted up front, before you order.

And for the price of zero

Good questions

The fine print, unfolded.

When am I actually charged?
Only after a Kwibal employee verifies your order. Until then your card carries an authorization hold — the money never leaves your account, and the hold is released automatically if the order doesn't go through.
What if the item turns out not to be available?
The order is declined, the hold on your card is released, and you pay nothing. You'll see the whole lifecycle in your orders page.
How do offers work?
Name a price below asking and Kwibal shows your chance of success before you send it. If your offer is accepted during review, the sale proceeds exactly like a buy-now order — verification first, then delivery.
How far will Kwibal deliver?
Searches are capped at roughly 25 miles. A real driver picks your item up and delivers it the same or next day, so everything you see is close enough to arrive fast.
Can I cancel?
Yes — any order that hasn't been finalized can be withdrawn from your orders page, and the hold on your card is released immediately.
