Where the van stops at a Liverpool seller's door
On a terraced street in Kensington, Garston or Anfield, where the van stops is agreed before the day. The piece comes out of the front door, along the pavement and into the van. Ask the seller whether it came in through the front or the back, as a big piece in a terrace sometimes went in through the yard. Near Anfield, avoid a match day, when Walton Breck Road and Anfield Road are closed.
A seller in a flat is a question of the lift and the stairs, and a seller in a townhouse flat on Canning Street may be at the top of three storeys. In Allerton, Mossley Hill or Woolton, semis and detached houses on wider streets make an easy stop. In the new Everton West permit area, restrictions run at all hours, every day, so ask the seller whether their household visitor permit can sit in the van while it loads.
What to ask a Liverpool seller first
- The street and postcode, and when the seller will be in
- The floor, and whether there is a lift if it is a flat
- The size of the piece and whether it comes apart
- Whether it was paid for in full, so the driver only has to collect it
- Near Anfield or Bramley-Moore Dock, whether the collection date clashes with a home game
