Marketplace delivery in St Albans: seller to door
How it works round here.
St Albans, Hertfordshire • Marketplace Delivery
Parking permits control much of the ground within a few streets of St Albans City station, which is one of the reasons a marketplace collection needs a bit of local know-how rather than just a big van and a willing pair of arms.
Van & Driver is getting ready to launch here, covering the AL1, AL3 and AL4 postcode districts and reaching out to places like Chiswell Green and London Colney nearby. Once live, the idea will be simple: buy a sofa, an appliance, garden furniture or a bike from a seller anywhere around the city, and a local partner driver will collect it and bring it straight to your door, carrying it in rather than leaving it on the pavement. That matters in a town where terraced streets, tight junctions near Christopher Place, and permit zones close to the centre can make a straightforward collection surprisingly fiddly if you're not used to them. We're not able to take bookings in St Albans just yet, and there's no partner driver covering the area at the moment, but the plan is to bring the same fixed-price, fully-carried service already running elsewhere to St Albans households and to nearby communities such as Hatfield and Harpenden. In the meantime, this page will be updated as soon as cover begins, so it's worth checking back if you've got a marketplace purchase waiting to be picked up and brought home properly.

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.

Can I get a van and driver today in St Albans?+
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.

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.
