A listing in Leeds or Pontefract, a buyer in WF6: how the pick-up runs

The driver arrives at the seller's address, looks the item over against the listing photos and rings you if something is plainly wrong: a cracked panel, a drawer that will not run, a missing part, a size that does not match. You decide whether it comes. Payment to the seller is agreed between the two of you.

Selling from Normanton works in reverse. Your buyer in Bradford or Leeds books the van, and all you do is have the piece ready and say how to reach it. On a pit terrace with no drive, an early slot beats the parked cars; on an estate with a garage, wheeling the item in there the evening before makes loading quick. A wardrobe assembled in a bedroom may need dismantling before it will leave the room.

What to sort with the seller before a Normanton pick-up

Get the item's measurements in writing, and check them against your own doors
Ask which floor it is on and whether it has been taken apart before
Selling from a pit terrace off the High Street, bring the item into the front room the night before so it goes straight out of the door
For a seller at a Eurolink or Photon Park unit, get the unit number, the gate and a phone contact
Agree a collection window; the van runs 8am to 8pm, seven days a week
Decide whether to pay the seller online first or after the check
