Buying or selling second-hand furniture with a Rothwell postcode

Many buys start with a measurement nobody has taken. Before you pay, check the piece against your own door, stairs and the space it is meant for, because a dresser that looks small in a seller's garage can jam on a steep Rothwell terrace stair. At the seller's address the driver compares it with the photos and rings you if anything is off. Paying the seller stays between you and them.

Selling from Rothwell works the other way round. Your buyer books the van, and you only need to be in with the item cleared and near the door. Sellers living above the Commercial Street shops should aim for a pickup inside the signed loading times, when vans may stop there. A business seller at Stourton will want a contact name on the booking and a collection time inside its opening hours.

The seller's postcode, phone number and the times they will be in
Your own measurements: front door, stairs and the gap the piece is going into
How the seller is paid: already settled, or by you after the check
For a seller on Marsh Street or Butcher Lane, ask them to have the piece by the front door, since the kerb outside is usually parked up

How a Rothwell collection-only price is worked out

It comes down to the miles between seller and buyer and how much carrying there is at each address. Stairs at either end add time, so mention them when you ask. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
