Collecting from a Barrowford seller's front door
Where the van stops depends on the street. On Gisburn Road the cottages face a trunk road, so the van pulls into a side street or back lane and the item is carried a short way. On the Lowerford terraces, Lucy Street, Grey Street, Nora Street and the rest, the van stands at the kerb. Maud Street and Broadway Place are one way, so give the full address and the van comes in from the right end.
The closes off Wheatley Lane Road are easier still: Cracoe Gill, Malham Wend, Hetton Lea and Burnsall Place end in turning heads, and a seller with a drive gives the van somewhere to stand. Before the van leaves, check the item is the one in the listing, with measurements, and that the seller will be in. The driver collects and delivers; payment between buyer and seller is agreed between you.

How a Barrowford Marketplace collection is priced
The distance between seller and buyer, how awkward the piece is and the carry at each end decide the figure; Barrowford is a planned slot, so the drive from Bradford is folded into that one price. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
