Evening Marketplace pick-ups for Guiseley buyers and sellers
An after-work collection needs a little more arranging than a daytime one. Confirm with the seller that they will be in, that the piece is somewhere easy to reach and whether it has been apart before. Around Oxford Road and the station, commuter cars start to clear in the early evening, so a stop outside a terrace is easier then than at midday. On Tranmere Park, front gardens mean a longer but level walk to the van.
Before anything is lifted, the piece is looked over against the photos you saw. A cracked table top, a missing shelf or a wardrobe smaller than advertised means a phone call to you from the doorstep, and you choose whether to carry on. Payment stays between you and the seller, so agree how and when you will pay them, such as a transfer once you hear the piece matches the advert.
Messages to swap with the seller before a Guiseley pick-up
- Screenshot the advert, including any measurements the seller gave
- Get the seller's full postcode and a number the driver can ring on arrival
- Check which floor the piece is on, and whether a wardrobe or bed has been in pieces before
- For a seller near Guiseley station or Oxford Road, an early-evening pick-up finds the kerb clearer than midday
- On Tranmere Park, ask the seller to have the piece near the front door or in the garage, as the path to the van is a long one
- Say when you will be home to receive it, any time up to 8pm

Marketplace Collection in Guiseley: your questions
Can the pick-up be after work?
Yes, up to 8pm, seven days, when the diary allows. Pass the time you are given on to the seller so they are in.
What happens if the piece has a fault the photos did not show?
The driver rings you from the seller's house before lifting it, and you decide whether to buy it or leave it.
Can the old chest of drawers go back with the van?
No, nothing old is removed. Leeds City Council's bulky waste service is the route; check what it takes.
An eBay seller is at the other end of the country. Is that too far?
No. It is booked as a planned run on a set day, and the fixed price covers the whole trip there and back.
