Moving Office Chairs with Didi

It is feasible to use Didi services to move office chairs, but appropriate preparations need to be made based on the size of the chairs and the type of service selected.

If choosing Didi Freight Service:
You can place an order in the "Delivery and Moving" section through the Didi App or the Didi Freight WeChat mini-program. This service is specifically designed for item transportation, and the vehicles usually have relatively large spaces, making them suitable for moving furniture such as office chairs. When placing an order, you need to accurately fill in the item's size, weight, and moving address. The system will match the vehicle type (such as small vans or medium vans) according to your needs. If the office chair is relatively large or requires disassembly and assembly, it is advisable to communicate with the driver in advance to confirm whether there is sufficient vehicle space, so as to avoid any hindrance to the moving process due to size mismatches.

If choosing Didi Ride-Hailing Service:
You need to clearly state in the order notes that "an office chair needs to be placed in the back seat" or call the driver immediately after placing the order to communicate. Most drivers will treat the chair as ordinary luggage, but the following limitations should be noted:

• Space Limitation: The trunk of an ordinary sedan may not be able to accommodate large office chairs (such as those with armrests and backrests). You may need to try tilting the chair or disassembling some parts (such as armrests and wheels) to save space.
• Vehicle Type Selection: It is advisable to give priority to vehicles with larger spaces, such as SUVs or business vans, to reduce the risk of being refused a ride due to insufficient space.
• Liability Definition: Ride-hailing services are not specifically designed for cargo transportation. If any damage is caused to the vehicle's interior (such as scratches or stains) during the moving process, you may be liable for compensation. It is recommended to negotiate with the driver in advance or wrap the chair with protective materials.

Handling Special Cases:
For office chairs that are oversized (such as those with a length exceeding 1.5 meters) or overweight (such as those weighing more than 50 kilograms), it is advisable to directly choose Didi Freight or a professional moving company to avoid moving failures or additional costs due to vehicle type mismatches. If the chair requires disassembly and assembly, you can contact the driver in advance to inquire whether they can provide assistance or complete the disassembly yourself to reduce the difficulty of moving.

Summary: Didi Freight is the preferred option for moving office chairs, while ride-hailing services are only suitable for small, foldable, or easily disassembled chairs. Regardless of the method chosen, communicating in advance about the item's size, vehicle type requirements, and moving details is crucial to ensuring a smooth service.
