Can you collect items the same day?

Same-day collection may be available depending on availability and location. This is ideal for urgent purchases or when sellers require quick collection.

Yes, all items are covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability insurance. This ensures your purchase is protected throughout the journey.

What does the service include?

We recommend booking as soon as your purchase is confirmed. However, we can often accommodate short-notice requests depending on availability.
