Check where a delivery vehicle can stop
Describe road width, low branches, gates, gradients and whether the vehicle can turn or leave safely. Add any parking restrictions or need to arrange access with neighbours or a property manager.
A postcode identifies the area but cannot describe your driveway. Include instructions for finding the actual entrance and a suitable place to unload.
Plan freight to a home address at your Chedworth address
For pallets or heavy goods in Chedworth, describe the gradient, surface and working space at both addresses. A tail lift or pallet truck requires a suitable position; ask for assessment rather than assuming it can reach the doorway.
Measure goods as they will travel. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space at both addresses.
- For freight to a home address, prepare: residential access; firm level unloading area; tail-lift and handling request.
- A Chedworth postcode or landmark is not enough to define the final approach. Record the property entrance, gradient, steps, surface and place where the recipient will meet the vehicle.
Kerbside and indoor delivery are different
Pallet freight may be handed over outside at an agreed accessible point. A pallet truck needs a suitable surface; gravel, soft ground, steps and slopes can prevent normal handling.
Ask explicitly if you need carrying into a building or placement beyond the unloading point. Do not assume this is included. For household carrying and removals, follow the Movivio link.
