Where the van waits outside a Trawden seller's house
On the side streets behind Skipton Road, Dean Street, Clifton Street, River Street and their neighbours, the van pulls up alongside and the walk to the door is short. Ash Street and Clarence Street are narrow and have no pavement, so the stop is kept short and the item should be ready by the door. Pinetree Court is a private road with a 5 mph limit, and the seller should confirm where a van may wait.
Up on Lanehouse, Hill Top and Foulds Road the lanes follow the slope, and the van stops at the nearest wide point. The closes at the north end, Leyland Close, Bannister Close and Beckside Close, are the easiest pick-ups, with drives and room to turn. Before booking, confirm the sizes with the seller and a time when they are home; the money for the item passes between buyer and seller, never through the driver.
Arranging a Marketplace pick-up in Trawden
- Copy the listing link, the photos and the seller's stated measurements into your enquiry
- Fix a pick-up time with the seller and get the house number, not just the street
- Find out if it sits on an upper floor or must be unbolted to leave the room
- Settle the money with the seller directly; the driver only moves the item
- At your end, make space and clear the route to the room it is going in

Facebook Marketplace, eBay & Gumtree Collection in Trawden: your questions
A seller in Trawden, a buyer in Bradford: does that work?
Certainly. It is loaded at the Trawden house, driven back across Two Laws and set down in whichever room you choose.
What if the table turns out smaller or damaged?
Ring before anything goes on the van. Agreeing the details with the seller first, against the listing photos, saves a wasted journey over the moor.
Do I have to be there for the pick-up?
Not at the seller's house, as long as the seller is home to hand it over. Someone does need to be in at the delivery address.
What about a seller up a narrow lane at Hill Top?
No problem. The van pulls in where the lane is wide enough, and the walk from that spot is priced in from the start.
