Where the van stops at a Selby seller's door
Collection is easiest where the van can stand close. A seller on Staynor Hall or a close off Barff Lane in Brayton usually has a drive or a quiet road outside, and the bungalows of Thorpe Willoughby have no stairs at all. At Barlby Bridge the Edwardian terraces open almost straight onto Thomas Street and Elm Street, so the van waits in the road while the piece comes through the front door, which means measuring the item against that door first.
In the centre, a seller in a flat above a Gowthorpe or Micklegate shop needs a carry down an inside stair and along the pavement to the van, parked on the nearest road or in a council car park such as Back Micklegate. Check the listing's measurements against the van's 3.4m by 1.3m floor and 1.7m height. If the seller is in York, Riccall or Cawood, the van picks up on the way and brings the item back down the A19.
Before a Selby Marketplace pick-up
- Agree the collection time with the seller and pay them yourself before the van arrives
- Ask the seller for the item's measurements and whether it comes apart
- Say if the seller is in a flat or a terrace, as that changes the carry
- Send the seller's postcode and a phone number the driver can ring on arrival
- Measure your own door and stairs so the item goes in at your end too

Where the seller is, how big the item is and the stairs at both ends set the price, which is one figure agreed before the van leaves, including the drive from Bradford. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Marketplace Collection in Selby: your questions
Do I have to pay the seller before you collect?
Yes. Agree the price and pay the seller yourself; the driver collects the item and brings it to you, and does not handle the payment.
Can you collect from a seller in York and bring it to Selby?
Yes. York is about 14 miles up the A19, so the van collects there and brings the item back the same trip.
What if the item does not fit through the seller's door?
Check the listing's measurements and ask whether it comes apart. If it came in through that door, it usually goes out the same way, and beds and flat-pack can be taken apart.
