Secure Marketplace Collections

The Smart Way To
Handle Marketplace Pickups.

We’ve built a collection service specifically for those everyday Marketplace finds that are too much of a chore to pick up yourself. Our bike fleet is the perfect middleman — getting it from the seller to your door without you wasting your evening.

Marketplace Made Easy

We Pick It Up.
We Check It. We Deliver It.

We provide the fast, agile service that the big couriers simply can’t offer for smaller items. We’re built for the kind of purchase that isn’t worth hiring a van for — but still deserves to arrive safely.

  • We collect directly from the seller — you don’t need to be there
  • Optional item inspection service — we check it turns on and matches the description
  • Real-time tracking from collection to your door
  • Seller can be given tracking access too — complete transparency both ways
  • Instant quote based on distance — no hidden fees

Our mission
Our Mission

Reliability Without
the Rip-off.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between local buyers and sellers by providing a fair, fast, and transparent collection service that actually works for the small stuff. You shouldn’t have to waste your own time, petrol, or sanity chasing a £20 Facebook find across town.

We’re here to prove that local delivery can be professional without being expensive, and personal without being unreliable.

FAQ

Find All the Answers

What items can you collect? +

We handle clothing, electronics, small furnishings, kitchen appliances and more. As long as it fits in our trailer dimensions() and is safely packaged, we can move it. We don’t carry illegal or dangerous items.

What is the inspection service? +

We perform a free cursory check upon arrival, however for a small additional fee, our rider will check that the item turns on, matches the description in the ad, and is in the condition you were expecting before leaving the seller. If something doesn’t add up, we’ll contact you before proceeding.

How is the price calculated? +

Our pricing is based on distance between the collection and delivery address, plus optional add-ons like the inspection service or timed delivery window. You get an instant quote before you commit to anything.

How do I pay? +

You can pay now by card online, pay by card reader when our rider collects, or pay cash at collection. You choose at the time of booking.

What areas do you cover? +

We cover Calderdale including Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Brighouse and Elland, plus within 2 miles of Bradford, Leeds and Huddersfield town centres.

Does the seller need to do anything? +

Just make sure they know our rider is coming and roughly when. You’ll be asked to confirm the seller is aware when you book. If you provide their contact details, we can also give them tracking access.

Before You Book

Our riders are part of the environment. Here’s how we handle things in the real world.

How We Operate
  • The Route: Our systems monitor road conditions in real-time. Delivery times are estimates, but our tech helps us navigate traffic and route changes effectively.
  • Official Delays: If our system flags a major incident such as a police diversion or full road closure, we’ll adjust immediately. We aren’t responsible for delays when the entire route is officially held up.
  • Weather Safety: If conditions aren’t safe to ride through, our riders shelter in place. We don’t take risks with your gear or our people.
  • Handover: We allow 5 minutes for handover at each end. If our rider is kept waiting longer, we may need to move on or add a waiting fee.
  • Packaging: We’re on bikes — make sure items are packed securely. We can’t be held responsible for damage to items not properly protected for a bike journey.
  • The Basics: No illegal or dangerous items. Goods are carried at your own risk unless specific insurance is agreed in writing before the job starts.
