Marketplace Collection in Silsden

Silsden sellers, Airedale buyers and the van between them

If you are selling a big item in Silsden and the buyer cannot collect it, point them to the van. The buyer books it, pays for the transport, and the driver arrives at your door at the time you both agreed. In the terraces off Bolton Road the front door opens onto the pavement, so a chest of drawers is out and loaded in minutes. A wardrobe on the upper floor of a cottage may need taking apart first, and the buyer should hear that before they book.

Buying from outside the town, the sellers within easy reach are in Keighley four miles down the valley, Skipton up the A629, and Ilkley over the moor road. The driver looks the item over at the seller's house before it goes in, and if a leg is loose or the fabric is marked in a way the advert hid, you get a phone call and decide there and then. You pay the seller yourself, beforehand or once you are happy.

Details that make a Silsden marketplace pickup go smoothly

• The advert, or a screenshot showing the size, plus the seller's postcode and the delivery postcode
• A time the seller will definitely be in; the driver can ring them to fix it if you prefer
• The item's measurements and those of your narrowest doorway or turn in the stairs
• For a seller in a cottage off St John's Street, say whether the piece is upstairs, because that stair decides if it has to come apart
• If the seller lives up at Brunthwaite, say so when you book, so the turning place on the lane is settled before the time is fixed

What changes the price of a Silsden second-hand pickup

The miles between the two addresses, the size of the piece, and any stairs, long carry or dismantling at either end set the figure, which is fixed and agreed before the van leaves Bradford. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
