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 Alcester access
Alcester freight requests should name the business unit, goods entrance and unloading contact. A shopfront address and a nearby visitor car park can lead to different handover points. For a pallet, confirm whether the last part of the route is level and firm and whether unloading equipment is available at that exact entrance.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- Name the property entrance; do not substitute a nearby Alcester car park postcode.
- For parcel & boxed goods, prepare: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
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.
Your Alcester enquiry checklist
- For parcel & boxed goods, have these details ready: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B49 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.
