Give a complete consignment list
Group identical units and enter their quantity, dimensions and weight per unit. List different sizes separately. Explain if goods must remain together or can be split across agreed collections.
Part-load planning may involve other customers’ freight or handling stages. Ask how your goods will travel, what preparation is required and how any delivery window will be confirmed.
Plan part-load freight at your Blockley address
For a Blockley pallet or crate, describe the receiving surface, gradient and space behind the proposed vehicle position. Tail lifts and pallet trucks need a suitable working area; ask for assessment when the final approach is stepped or sloped.
Measure the goods as they will travel, including the base and wrapping. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space available at both addresses.
- For part-load freight, prepare: pallet or package count; stackability and total weight; collection and delivery flexibility.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Explain your flexibility
A delivery date can be flexible even if the collection date is fixed. State both requirements, including seller deadlines and receiving hours.
Compare the complete quoted service: route, loading, unloading, packaging, waiting terms and any applicable cover. The lowest headline price alone may describe a different scope.
