Marketplace Collection in Harrogate

Buying good furniture from Harrogate sellers, or bringing it home to HG

When the seller is in Harrogate, the piece may be solid and heavy, and sometimes on an upper floor of a villa or down a long gravel drive. Ask the seller which floor it is on, whether it comes apart and where a van can stop. If it has to be dismantled to get out, that is done with the seller's agreement and rebuilt at your end. Many Harrogate villa flats share a staircase, so mention it if the seller is on an upper floor.

When you are the Harrogate buyer, the item comes to you from wherever it was listed. It is checked against the listing before loading, and if there is damage, missing parts or the wrong size, you are called before anything goes in the van.

What a Harrogate Marketplace pickup needs from you

• Send the listing link, the seller's postcode and a time they are definitely home
• Check the item's size against your narrowest door or stair turn before you buy
• Decide how and when you are paying the seller
• Tell us who hands the item over at the seller's address and who will be in at the delivery end
• A seller on a Duchy or Harlow Hill drive should say if the gravel run to the road is long, as it adds carrying time
• For a Starbeck seller, leave some slack in the agreed time for the level crossing by the station
