Confirm the seller's readiness before booking in Bishopston
For a single-item collection, agree what is being sold and whether it will be ready to lift at the collection window. Ask for dimensions and an inventory of separate parts. Include the seller's floor and entrance details in the man and van request so the booking describes a collection, not an assumed kerbside handover.
Agree who does the preparation
If the item needs dismantling, ask who will complete it and when. Request confirmation of any preparation service you want included. Keep loose parts together and ensure the seller remains available to open the property. Payment or ownership arrangements with the seller should be resolved directly rather than left to the loading team.
Plan the delivery before the purchase leaves
Check that the receiving entrance can accommodate the item in its travelling condition. Select loading help for unloading as well as collection and arrange someone to provide entry. Tell the booking team if there are multiple sellers or addresses; those stops need to form part of the agreed journey.
