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 around your Wednesbury access
For Wednesbury freight, name the receiving unit and goods entrance and ask the site to confirm vehicle dimensions and unloading arrangements. Axletree Way and Patent Drive appear in Sandwell's red-route guidance, so roadside waiting should not be assumed. Give packed weights and an appointment contact before a vehicle is agreed.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- For Wednesbury, separate the site entrance and approved loading area from a red-route approach.
- For parcel & boxed goods, prepare: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
