Same way works in eastern Europe.
And especially if you give away furniture to get new one,you can ask person who gets your old stuff to help you to bring a new stuff.
As a female, this always worked for me.
Only once I paid something like 50 eur for sofa delivery, because it was during week that I had to pick up from private on certain time and friends were working.



And how it’s done in Japan if friends don’t help?
