Ask before you buy

Confirm the item is still available, check its condition and request actual measurements. Ask about removable parts and collection access. Photos of the doorway or stair route can help an operator assess the job, but measurements remain essential.

Separate purchase from transport

Agree purchase and payment arrangements directly with the seller. Do not assume the driver will inspect a purchase for you, negotiate on your behalf or pay at collection. Keep the transport request focused on the agreed item and handover.

Synchronise the two ends

Check the seller’s collection window and your own delivery access. Provide the correct entrance and a clear description of what is being collected. A timing preference should be confirmed by everyone involved before the job goes ahead.

Check the final room

Measure your doors, corners and stairs as carefully as the item. Agree packaging, dismantling and labour needs before collection. Once the scope is clear, use the marketplace delivery journey to organise an estimate.
