Where the van stops at a Bury seller's door
On the terraced rows of Elton, Fishpool and Free Town the van stops in the street outside, if there is room, so ask the seller whether the space by their door is usually free and when. Rows with back streets can load from the rear gate. On estates such as Brandlesholme's Garside estate or round Trimingham Drive the van is off the main roads, and at a newer house in Chesham or Redvales with a drive it can back right up.
Unsworth's Sunny Bank shops have parades with their own car parking, a handy meeting point if a seller's street is tight. Near Gigg Lane, Sussex Drive and Kent Drive fill on Bury FC match days, so pick another time. Before booking, confirm the item is still for sale, agree a time with the seller and check it fits the 3.4m by 1.3m load space.
Arranging a pick-up with a Bury seller
- Send the seller's postcode, a contact number and the time they are in
- Check the item's measurements against the 3.4m by 1.3m load floor
- Pay the seller yourself, before the collection, as you have agreed
- Ask whether the item is upstairs and whether it comes apart
- Avoid match days for a pick-up on the streets round Gigg Lane

Marketplace Collection in Bury: your questions
Can you collect a Marketplace item in Bury and bring it to Bradford?
Yes. Send the seller's postcode and the item details, and the run back over the M62 is part of the fixed price.
Do I need to pay the seller first?
Agree that with the seller. The driver collects; the payment between you and the seller is yours to settle.
What if the item will not fit?
Check the measurements against the load floor before booking. If it is larger than 3.4m by 1.3m, it needs a bigger vehicle.
Can the van collect from a flat above a shop in Bury town centre?
Yes, though not from the front on The Rock or Princess Parade, as those streets are pedestrian. The driver parks on the nearest service road or side street and carries the item down and across.
