Where the van stops at a Rochdale seller's door
A seller in a Spotland or Deeplish terrace usually lives on a narrow street with cars on both sides, and on the setted streets there is no hope of stopping outside. The van pulls up at the end of the row and the item comes along the pavement on a trolley. Agree the time with the seller so the item is ready at the front door, not still in the back bedroom, as that keeps the stop short.
On the Kirkholt crescents and the Bamford closes, such as Lapwing Close and Curlew Close, the van can usually stand outside or at the turning head. In Norden it might wait on the side road off Edenfield Road. Payment between you and the seller is yours to arrange before the day, and check the measurements in the listing against your door and stairs before committing to a large piece.
Arranging a Rochdale Marketplace pick-up
- Send the listing, the seller's address and a phone number for them
- Pay the seller before the day and confirm they will be in
- Ask the seller to have the item downstairs or near the door if they can
- Check the listing's measurements against your door, hall and stairs
- A bed or wardrobe already taken apart by the seller travels as it is

Marketplace Collection in Rochdale: your questions
Can you collect from a seller outside Rochdale?
Yes, from Milnrow, Littleborough, Heywood or further, priced on the distance. Give both addresses when you ask.
Do I need to pay the seller first?
Settle payment with the seller before the day. The driver collects and delivers but does not handle money for the item.
Can the van collect from a flat?
Yes. Say which floor, whether there is a lift and where the van can stop, and the price covers the carry down and along to the van.
What if the item is not as described?
Look at it with the seller first if you can, or ask for clear photos and measurements, because the driver collects what is handed over.
