Collecting a Marketplace buy from a Brierfield terrace or close

Collecting from a seller in the old centre means stopping on a narrow 20 mph street such as Hope Street, Walter Street or Albert Street, at whatever stretch of kerb is free near the door. That is fine for the few minutes a collection takes, but it helps if the seller has the item downstairs and by the door when the van arrives. Up the hill, the closes such as Arnold Close, Trinity Close and Hillside Close are cul-de-sacs where the van turns at the head and waits outside.

The listing photos rarely show the whole thing. Ask the seller for the measurements, whether it comes apart, and whether there is a step at the door, and forward those with the link. If a wardrobe or bed is still assembled upstairs, it can be dismantled on the spot. Pay the seller yourself, by your own arrangement; the van collects only what you have bought.
