Confirm the return before arranging freight
Ask the retailer where the item must go, which reference is required and whether they need an appointment. Their acceptance of a return is separate from transport availability.
Follow the agreed packaging requirements and provide packed dimensions and weight. Tell us if the original packaging is missing or the item is damaged.
Plan large-item return collections around your Halesowen access
For Halesowen freight, separate the public-facing address from the loading point. If the consignee refers you to parking around Andrew Road, Birmingham Street or Pool Road, ask whether this is simply a meeting point and obtain the actual goods-access instructions. Confirm the surface, tail-lift clearance and unloading equipment before a pallet or machinery collection is priced.
Obtain the seller or site operator’s release instructions and the equipment needed to load safely. Declare unusual contents, fragile parts and anything that cannot be stacked before suitability is assessed.
- Check the particular Halesowen entrance and parking section, not just the name Pool Road or High Street.
- For large-item return collections, prepare: return authorised; packaging requirements; receiving slot and reference.
Set out the handover requirements
Explain where the goods are located at collection and whether they are ready to load. Provide the receiving hours and any goods-in restrictions at the destination.
Transport does not guarantee a refund or resolve a purchase dispute. Confirm your return arrangements directly with the seller and the freight plan with the team.
Your Halesowen enquiry checklist
- For large-item return collections, have these details ready: return authorised; packaging requirements; receiving slot and reference.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B63 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
