Marketplace Collection in Elland

Matching a seller's time slot to an Elland drop-off

A private seller may offer only one window: after work, or a Saturday morning. The van runs from 8am to 8pm every day, so send the slot the seller has offered before you confirm it with them, and you will hear whether it can be met. On the day, the item is looked over against the listing photos before loading. If there is clear damage or a missing part, you get a phone call and decide there and then.

The Elland end is where the item goes in. A wardrobe for Upper Edge or Lower Edge comes off the van at whatever gap there is between parked cars and goes up stone steps from there. For a Southgate flat, the street is mainly pedestrian, so the drop runs from the loading point on a trolley. Selling rather than buying? If your buyer lives elsewhere and books us, have the piece near the door with its fixings bagged, and warn them about any walled lane at Greetland or Holywell Green.

What an Elland buyer or seller should send before booking

• The listing link or screenshots, the seller's postcode and the delivery postcode
• The time slot the seller has offered, checked with us before you agree it
• Measurements from the seller, set against your narrowest door and landing
• Settle payment with the seller yourself, once the item matches the listing
• Where the van can stop at each end, since a steep Edge street, a Southgate flat or an HX4 lane all change the carry

Pricing a Marketplace pick-up that starts or ends in Elland

The price depends on the two postcodes, the size of the piece and any steps or long carry at either end. It is fixed before the van sets off, with no travel surcharge for Elland or the HX4 villages. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
