Marketplace delivery in Gillingham: seller to door
How it works round here.
Gillingham, Dorset • Marketplace Delivery
Gillingham's SP8 postcode sits just four miles from Shaftesbury and six from Wincanton, with the town's own station only 0.4 miles from the centre — useful to know if you're arranging a delivery around train times.
Van & Driver's Marketplace Delivery service is built for exactly this kind of area, where a seller's sofa, appliance or garden bench might be a short hop away or a longer trip out towards Sherborne. You book a van and driver at a fixed price, and the job covers collection from the seller, delivery to your door, and help carrying the item in — no need to arrange your own transport or find someone to lift the heavy end.
The service handles sofas and chairs, appliances, garden furniture, and bikes or gym kit, so whether you've bought a washing machine online or picked up a second-hand exercise bike, the whole move is sorted in one booking. Prices are fixed by route: a single item within Gillingham itself is priced differently to one coming from Shaftesbury or further afield towards Wincanton or Sherborne, so you know the cost before you commit. For a town positioned close to storage sites such as SOS Storage a few miles out, having a straightforward way to move larger items in and out of Gillingham makes daily errands considerably simpler.

Do I need to be at the collection?+
No. Give the seller’s address and contact in the notes; pay the seller yourself before the driver arrives.
Does a marketplace delivery include help carrying?+
Yes. The driver loads and unloads with you. For heavy or bulky items such as sofas, wardrobes and fridge freezers, choose two people when you book.
How do I book a marketplace delivery in Gillingham?+

Can I get a van and driver today in Gillingham?+
Yes, if you book by 3pm and a driver is free: the earliest arrival is the hour after next. After 3pm, the earliest is 1pm tomorrow. The price is the same any day.
Will two people come?+
When the job needs them (a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up) two people come, and that's already in the price. We decide it from what you're moving; there's nothing to choose or pay extra for.
How far will you go from Gillingham?+
Anywhere in England. A move includes the first 10 miles, then £1.80 a mile, shown in the price before you pay; over 150 miles we give you a quote instead. Tip runs have no distance charge.
Is the price fixed?+
Yes. You see the whole price before you book and that's what you pay: no hourly rate, and nothing added on the day for stairs, waiting or a heavy sofa, unless what you're moving changes.
