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 Shurdington address
Shurdington includes homes, workplaces and community premises with different entrances. Give the complete GL51 address, exact furniture or goods entrance, steps or lift, surface, carrying distance, lawful vehicle position and the contact who can authorise the handover. Record packed length, width, height and gross weight, plus tail-lift or forklift needs separately at collection and delivery. Check the Gloucestershire Highways maps for current or planned works on the booked date. This guidance does not grant loading permission, promise access or confirm availability.
Measure goods as they will travel. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space at both addresses.

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.
