Marketplace Collection in York

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

York sellers live in streets with very different parking. In The Groves, the closure points mean the van comes in from the open end of the street, and in South Bank and Holgate it stops in a permit bay or the nearest legal space to the terrace. Many of those streets are in a residents' parking zone, where a vehicle without a permit may wait only about ten minutes, so a quick, ready collection is the aim. Ask the seller to have the item in the hall.

In Badger Hill and Newland Park, on-street parking is restricted to permit holders, and inside the walls the footstreets are closed to vehicles from 10.30am to 5pm. Out in Acomb, Woodthorpe, Huntington or Haxby, many houses have a drive or sit on a quiet close, and loading takes minutes. Send the listing, the seller's postcode and the collection time you have agreed, and the run is planned around it.

Before a York Marketplace collection

• Send the listing photos and measurements so the item can be checked against the 3.4m load space
• Agree a collection time with the seller and share their number, so the driver can reach them on the day
• Ask the seller to clear a path to the door and have the item ready, especially on a ResPark street
• If it needs taking apart, ask whether the seller has the tools or the fixings
• Pay the seller yourself; the driver collects and delivers but does not handle the sale
