Hey all, my girlfriend and I desperately need a better bed, as my back cant take the crappy one our school "bought" us a week ago...it has to be over 10 years old. Trying to avoid confrontation with the school, we're just planning to buy one now. Hoping to find a queen or full size and preferrably need it to be in Daejeon or have some transportation to get it. If anyone has advice for us, we are open ears. Thanks so much for reading!!!

Are there services in Korea that take your old bed away before installing the new one?

[Colorado Couple]

I've found the furniture district in Daejeon...I guess this is my best place to start. I'm not sure if they have services to take away the old bed or not. Our last one was removed when the "new" one was brought in...that was a week ago and my back is wrecked from this piece. If you hear anything else, please let me know, thanks!

I have purchased furniture on Gmarket. I don't see why that wouldn't work. Usually they will take the old one, I think.

I have brought a tv, bed, lots of chicken, an oven, weight bench, sheets and a bunch of other stuff from there. Gets delivered, some of the best prices and just easy

Any idea of what you'd be charged for delivery buying a bed on gmarket?

[Trevor]

My sofa was 30k for delivery. Prices vary and will be visible on gmarket.

I definitely say check GMarket...

Bought a variety of things from there. It will tell you shipping for your purchase-- it varies depending on the seller.

As to getting rid of the old one-- if you can get it to the curb, it will "go away"...
