Getting a second-hand buy up the hill to Queensbury, or down it
Buying from below the village, send the listing, the seller's address and a time they are home. At the seller's door the item is compared with the photos, and nothing is loaded until you give the go-ahead. Then it comes up the A647 or the A644 to your street.
Selling from Queensbury works the same in reverse. A sofa that went into a High Street terrace on its end comes out on its end, and a wardrobe that was built in the bedroom may need to come apart, which is fine for existing flat-pack. In winter the hill is checked the day before, and a pickup can shift by a day if the roads are icy.
What a Queensbury buyer or seller should send first
- The link to the listing, or screenshots of it, so condition and size can be compared at the door
- Both addresses, the seller's phone number and a window when someone will be in
- When you will pay the seller, once you approve the item
- The item's depth and height, plus the width of the door it goes through, which for a High Street terrace is the front door
- Selling from Mountain, Old Dolphin or another outlying address? Give your buyer's postcode and directions to yours, and the run is priced before collection

Marketplace Collection in Queensbury: your questions
Can the driver pay the seller for me?
Pay the seller yourself. The item is checked first and you confirm by phone that you want it.
What if it does not match the listing?
You get a call from the seller's doorway before anything is loaded or paid for, and the choice to walk away stays yours.
Will you still collect if the hill is icy?
Only when it is safe. The roads are looked at the day before, and if the pickup needs to move you hear early enough to tell the seller.
I am selling from Queensbury. Can you deliver to my buyer?
Yes. Send both addresses and the listing. Either of you can pay the fixed price, as long as that is agreed before the day.
