Buying from elsewhere or selling from Heckmondwike on Marketplace
If you are the buyer, the driver can act as your eyes. At the seller's house the item is checked against the listing before it is loaded, and if something is clearly wrong, such as damage or missing parts, you get a call so you can decide. Wardrobes and bed frames that the seller has already taken apart need every fixing bagged and the instructions if they still exist.
If you are selling from Heckmondwike, the question is how the item leaves the house. A sofa in a terrace front room goes straight out of the pavement door; a chest of drawers in an attic comes down two flights. The buyer books and pays, but you know the house, so a quick word about stairs, parking and whether the piece is already out in the hall saves time on the day.

- The item is checked against the listing before loading, with a call to you if it does not match
- Selling from a Westgate terrace? Have the piece in the front room, since it goes straight out onto the pavement

Marketplace Collection in Heckmondwike: your questions
Can you pay the seller for me?
No, pay the seller yourself, in the way you agreed with them. The item is checked against the listing first, and if it does not match you decide before it is loaded.
What if the item is not as described?
You get a call before it is loaded. If you decide not to go ahead, the van leaves without it.
Can you collect the same day I buy it?
Only when the diary allows, so it is never promised. Message the listing and both addresses the moment the sale is agreed; if the seller will hold it a day, a next-day slot is the safer booking.
