Where the van stops at a Warrington seller's house
Collection is simplest where the houses are newest. Westbrook, built in the early 1980s around Westbrook Crescent and Cromwell Avenue, is mostly detached houses, and Gorse Covert and Locking Stumps in Birchwood were laid out as part of the 1970s new town, away from the through roads. In Orford, around Grasmere Avenue, the houses are former council homes and the van waits on the road outside while the item is carried out.
The terraces take more planning. On many Latchford terraces the front door is on the pavement, parking is on the street and the item is carried out to wherever the van can pull in. In Bank Quay and Whitecross the streets are permit zones. Ask the seller to have the piece downstairs, wrapped if possible, and to confirm the address and a time before the van leaves Bradford, so a collection is not a wasted trip.
Before a Warrington Marketplace collection
- Payment is between you and the seller, so settle it before the collection
- Confirm the seller's address, a phone number and a time they will be in
- Ask for measurements and a photo, so you know it will fit through your door
- Ask the seller to bring the item downstairs or near the door if they can
- If it is flat-pack, ask whether it comes apart, as it may travel more safely in pieces

Marketplace Collection in Warrington: your questions
Can you collect something I bought on Facebook Marketplace in Warrington?
Yes. Send the seller's postcode, your postcode and a photo of the item, and you get a fixed price before the van sets off.
Do you pay the seller for me?
No. Pay the seller directly, by whatever method you agreed, before the collection.
What should I agree with the seller first?
A collection time, the full address and a phone number, and that the item is ready to go. Pass those on when you book.
Can you collect from one Warrington seller and deliver to another town?
Yes. A sofa bought in Penketh can go to Wigan, Chester or back over the M62 to Yorkshire, with the extra miles in the one fixed price.
