EBAY BUYER AND SELLER SPECIFIC TERMS

There will usually only be one driver on our van. 
He  will need assistance with delivery for larger items.
He is very helpful and obliging and will often assist beyond 
the kerbside, but he is not obliged to do so.
Our insurance does not cover any incident which may take place 
whilst the driver is providing additional help beyond our van.
An extra man can be provided at either the collection or the delivery
address for an additional cost of £50.00 or at both ends for £95.00.
The service is kerbside. It is not our job to carry goods through 
awkward passages or up flights of stairs.  
We do not expect to be asked to assemble or dismantle items. 

Please inform the seller or buyer of our terms and conditions.  
They are expected to provide help to get heavy bulky items to or from the kerbside.

The seller is responsible for ensuring that their goods are 
adequately wrapped to survive a long distance van journey.  
The seller should always wrap upholstered items and mattresses before collection.  
We cannot accept any responsibility for items getting dirty, 
marked or scratched if the vendor has made no effort to protect them. 
Any GLASS must be well packed, padded and protected.  

It is the responsibility of sellers and buyers to make each other 
aware of what is expected of the purchased item.  
We do not check the condition of the goods we are collecting/delivering.
Many items are sold in need of restoration and other items are sold as perfect.
Our driver will not be aware of  the expected condition of an item.
We will transport your items with care, and if we are ever responsible 
for any damage in transit, then we will own up to it.
