Fetching a Marketplace buy down the steps of a Yeadon house

When the seller lives in Yeadon, the first thing to find out is where the item is and how it reaches the road. Plenty of houses on the slope below High Street have a flight of steps to the front door, so a solid chest of drawers or a dining table comes down by hand, drawers out and legs off where they unscrew. Ask the seller for the width and whether it has been apart before; it saves a wasted trip if it will not come out whole.

When you are the buyer in Yeadon, the check happens at the seller's end. The item is compared with the listing photos before it is loaded, and if it is damaged, incomplete or not the size stated, you get a call and decide there and then.
