Queen Street is pedestrianised, so the collection happens round the corner

Vehicles are restricted on Queen Street and drivers have been fined for parking there, so any town-centre collection or delivery is worked from the side streets with a carry in between. Market days and weekends push the footfall up and tighten it further. None of that is a problem if it is planned: we agree where the van will stand before we set off, and if the seller has it ready by the door rather than upstairs, the whole thing takes minutes rather than the best part of an hour.

Away from the centre the town is built on seven hills, and the long stone terraces climbing them have no rear vehicular access, just a single shared passage between blocks. So the question worth answering before you bid is not only whether the sofa fits your living room, but whether it fits through that passage or up that staircase. Send the seller's photos and your own door width and we will give you a straight answer before anyone drives anywhere.

What Morley marketplace & ebay collection usually involves

Queen Street is a pedestrian zone, so collections and deliveries in the centre work off Commercial Street and the side roads
The free car parks near Morrisons and by the Mercantile Club fill early, so a mid-morning centre job needs a plan B
Terraces off Queen Street and Commercial Street are nose-to-tail on-street parking with a shared passage rather than rear access
M62 Junction 27 and the A62 Gelderd Road make Leeds and Bradford collections quick, so cross-town runs are normal here
Dartmouth Park and the hill streets around it are steep enough that we park facing the right way before anything comes off the van

Frequently asked questions: marketplace & ebay collection in Morley

Can you collect from a Leeds seller and deliver to me in Morley the same day?

Usually yes. Gelderd Road puts most of south and west Leeds within twenty minutes, and the whole thing is booked as one job at one price. The sooner you send the listing and the seller's postcode, the better the chance of a same-day slot.

My terrace has no back access. Does that make it harder?

It makes it a front-door job, which is normal here. The shared passage between blocks is often too tight for a big item, so everything comes in the front. Give us the door width and a photo of the staircase and we will tell you what will and will not go.

Do you handle the money with the seller?

Yes, if it's easier. Send the agreed cash with us and we hand it over on collection, once we've checked the item matches the listing. You can also pay in advance and leave us to load. If something is clearly not as described we ring you before it goes in the van.
