Mirrors, glass and ceramics are among the worst things to send by courier, and the packing costs more than the item is often worth. Carrying something home yourself is both cheaper and very much safer.
What to check in person
Plug in anything electrical and let it run, checking the flex along its whole length for fraying near the plug. On a lamp, work the switch several times and look at the fitting inside the shade for scorching.
Collecting it in Doncaster
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The town is flat and parking is easy, which makes anything large straightforward. The station is a major interchange and the obvious meeting point for smaller items.
