Count and measure every package
Use a separate line for each package size, with the quantity of identical cartons. Measure the sealed box rather than the unpacked product. Add protective packaging before weighing.
Explain the contents accurately, especially batteries, liquids, breakable items or anything temperature-sensitive. Acceptance is checked before transport is agreed.
Plan parcel & boxed goods at your Bishop's Cleeve address
For housing away from the village centre, give the street and house number as well as the postcode. Explain whether the vehicle can use the drive or must load from an agreed street position; the number of bedrooms does not establish how close the crew can get.
Measure the goods as they will travel, including the base and wrapping. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space available at both addresses.
- For parcel & boxed goods, prepare: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
- Distinguish a residential front door, a shop’s goods entrance and a community venue’s unloading point. Give the actual receiving contact, not just a landmark in the village centre.
Make the packages ready for handover
Use packaging suitable for the goods and handling journey. Keep individual boxes identifiable and let the team know if all packages must arrive together.
Tell us whether collection is from a home, shop or warehouse, and if a sender needs a release reference. Do not enter payment details or sensitive documents in the enquiry.
