Where the van can stop at a Sheffield seller's door

On the terraces of Walkley, Crookes and Crookesmoor, cars are parked on both sides and the streets climb hard, so the van stops in the nearest gap and the item comes by trolley. Ask the seller whether there are steps from the house to the pavement and whether the item is upstairs. In Broomhill, Crookesmoor and Hillsborough permit zones, a seller can lend a visitor voucher so the van can wait in a bay while the item is carried out.

End-of-tenancy sales by students in June bring a lot of furniture onto listings across Broomhill, Crookes and Sharrow, and a seller with a key-return deadline is keen to see the item gone that day. A seller in a house with a drive makes the pick-up simpler, as the van backs up to the door. Agree the price and the collection time with the seller first, then send both addresses.

Before the van collects from a Sheffield seller

Pay the seller and confirm a collection time before booking the van
Send both addresses, the item's size and which floor it is on
Ask the seller if there are steps at the front or a narrow hall
If the seller is in a permit zone, ask whether they can lend a visitor voucher
Check the item is ready to go: a wardrobe or bed may need taking apart, which the driver can do
