Give precise time windows
State the date and collection-ready time, then the delivery deadline. Explain whether the deadline is essential or preferred and what happens if it cannot be met.
Submitting an enquiry does not reserve a vehicle, guarantee a same-day collection or promise a response within a set time. Transport must be accepted and confirmed before you rely on a schedule.
Plan urgent freight enquiries at your Blockley address
For a Blockley pallet or crate, describe the receiving surface, gradient and space behind the proposed vehicle position. Tail lifts and pallet trucks need a suitable working area; ask for assessment when the final approach is stepped or sloped.
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 urgent freight enquiries, prepare: ready time and deadline; load dimensions and weight; available contacts at both ends.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Be ready to discuss the load
Have the packed dimensions, weight, addresses and loading arrangements ready. Missing access details can change what vehicle and equipment are needed.
Do not promise your seller a collection time until the transport booking is confirmed. If a site closes at a set time, include that in the request.
