How this service works.

A second-hand bargain is only useful if it can be collected safely and delivered where you need it. Ask the seller for accurate measurements, recent photographs and any known damage. Confirm the exact collection address and whether someone will be available to release the goods at the agreed time.

What you can ask us to move

  • Furniture bought from private sellers
  • Single-item and multi-item collections
  • Bulky purchases that won’t fit in your car

Man And Van is not affiliated with these marketplaces. Purchase payments and disputes remain between buyer and seller.

Prepare for collection.

Buying and transport are separate arrangements. Settle payment, ownership and condition with the seller directly. Share the seller’s access details without posting unnecessary personal information, and tell us if the item is upstairs or must be dismantled. A listing photo does not establish the weight or prove that an item fits through your doorway.

Details to include in your quote.

  • Ask the seller for dimensions, weight and condition.
  • Agree who releases the goods and when.
  • Confirm payment and ownership with the seller separately.

Include full collection and delivery postcodes, your preferred date and how much carrying help you need. Photos help explain the load but do not replace dimensions and weight. Find your location →

BEFORE YOU PACK

Good questions.
Clear answers.

How much does a man and van cost?+

The quote depends on the load, journey, stairs, parking, carrying help and date. Request a tailored quote and agree whether the price is fixed or time-based, including any minimum charges and extras.

Will someone help me carry the items?+

Tell us how much loading and unloading help you need. The number of movers and included carrying are agreed before booking; do not assume one person can move every item safely.

Can I request a weekend or short-notice move?+

Yes. Give your preferred date, any flexibility and collection windows. We check each request; a submitted enquiry does not guarantee same-day or weekend availability.

Can I request packing or dismantling?+

Yes. Include the items and the work you need in the form. Materials, dismantling, assembly and specialist handling are only included when specifically agreed.

Do you offer self-drive van hire or waste clearance?+

No. This form is for transport and moving-service enquiries. It is not self-drive rental or a rubbish clearance booking.
