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 Blackheath access
For Blackheath freight in Sandwell, supply the actual goods entrance, packed weights and required handling equipment. Do not route a high vehicle into a visitor car park simply because it is near the consignee: the council lists height restrictions at some Blackheath car parks. Agree a suitable unloading point with the business before confirming the vehicle.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- Identify Blackheath in Sandwell, B65, and check any proposed car park's vehicle-height restriction.
- For parcel & boxed goods, prepare: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
