Collecting from a Pontefract seller's door

Where the seller lives shapes the pick-up. On the Prince of Wales estate, cul-de-sacs off Princes Drive have turning heads, so the van turns and stops close to the door if residents' cars allow. On the older terraces west of the centre, the van stops on the street and the item comes out through the front. In the Horsefair flats, a piece comes along the deck and down, so check with the seller that it can be carried out.

Ask the seller to have the item ready, empty and at ground level if possible, and to confirm it is still for sale on the day. Payment is between you and the seller, so settle it before the van arrives. If the item is going to Bradford, the M62 from junction 32 makes the 25-mile trip simple; within Pontefract it is a short drive across town.

Before the van collects your Pontefract buy

Send the listing, the seller's address and a phone number, and the agreed pick-up time
Ask for measurements in the listing, then check them against your doors
Pay the seller before the collection so the driver only has to load
Tell the seller the van is long, so a space can be kept on the street if possible
Two buys in the same area can be one trip if both sellers agree times
