eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree Collections in Canterbury

We turn up at the address you give us, say who we are collecting for, and look the item over before it goes in the van. If it is visibly not what the listing showed, we ring you from the doorstep and you decide, rather than you finding out when it lands in your living room.

Send the listing link or a photo along with the address. Knowing the size and shape beforehand decides whether it is a one-person job or two, and stops a wardrobe meeting a van built for boxes.

Marketplace sellers usually want the thing gone by a particular day, and eBay collection windows can be tighter still. Give us the deadline when you ask for a quote and we work backwards from it, instead of offering the next free slot and hoping it lands in time.

Evenings and weekends are where most of these jobs sit, because that is when sellers are home. We work seven days, so a Sunday pickup in Sturry is a normal booking rather than a favour.

Most buyers pay the seller before we arrive, by bank transfer or through the platform itself, and that is much the simplest way to run it. We are the transport rather than the payment, so anything still owed at the door has to be settled between you and the seller in advance.

Where a seller wants proof the item has actually gone, we can confirm the collection to you the moment it is loaded, so both ends know where it is.

It works in the other direction too. If you have listed something collection only and the buyer has no way to move it, we can take it to them, which stops a sale falling apart over transport alone. People clearing a house before a move use this constantly.

The price works the same either way, on the size of the item and the distance between the two addresses.
