Picking up from a Ripon seller: where the van can stop

Where the van stops at the seller's end decides most of the job. On a terrace at Ure Bank Terrace or on Vyner Street off Bondgate, it stands in the street and the piece is carried out of the front door. On the closes in Bishopton, Doublegates and Lark Hill the van can usually pull in near the house, though residents' cars fill them in the evening, so a daytime collection is quicker. In the old centre, the van stays on the street and the item comes out on a trolley.

Sellers in the villages round Ripon, such as Sharow, Littlethorpe and Copt Hewick, are a short drive out by the A6108 or the B6265, and the seller can say where a van can pull in. Agree a time with the seller, pay them yourself before the day, and send their address and a photo of the item, so the van carries the right blankets and straps. If the item is bigger than the listing suggests, you will hear before it is loaded.

Arranging a Ripon Marketplace pick-up

Send the listing photo and the measurements, so the van brings the right straps
