Rotherham sellers: semis, terraces and drives

The seller's street decides how the pick-up goes. On Hungerhill Road, Redscope Road or Grange Drive in Kimberworth Park, the van draws up by the gate and the piece comes down the front path. On a terrace in Eastwood or Masbrough there are no drives, so the van uses the nearest clear kerb and the item leaves through the front room; in a permit street such as St Ann's Road the stop is kept brief. In Wickersley and Whiston a drive often lets the van pull right in.

Ask the seller to empty drawers and cupboards, bring the item down to the ground floor if they can, and message on the morning to say it is still there. Money changes hands between you and the seller, ideally by bank transfer before the van turns up, so the driver is only loading. A Rotherham buy heading to Sheffield is about 10 miles by the A630; one going to Bradford is 43 miles up the M1 and M62.

Lining up a Rotherham Marketplace pick-up

Forward the listing, the seller's address and number, and the time you agreed
Get the item's height, width and depth from the seller and check them against your own doorways
Pay the seller in advance so collection is just carrying and loading
If the seller is on a terrace, ask them to keep the space outside clear if they can
Say if it is upstairs or in a flat, and whether there is a lift
Look at the item yourself or get good photos first; the driver carries it but does not judge its condition
