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 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.
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.
- For Wednesbury, separate the site entrance and approved loading area from a red-route approach.
- 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.
