Turn a lot description into transport details
An auction catalogue may list the object size rather than its packed dimensions. Ask the auctioneer whether the lot is crated, on a pallet or loose, and obtain the gross weight. Confirm exactly which pieces are included.
Explain whether the auction site supplies a forklift or requires the buyer to arrange all lifting. Enter the collection reference only after checking that the goods are authorised for release.
Plan auction freight collections at your Bourton-on-the-Water address
A furniture purchase in Bourton-on-the-Water needs a seller release window and a confirmed loading point. Measure the item in its travel condition and check whether packing or dismantling is complete before collection starts.
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 auction freight collections, prepare: auction release deadline; lot dimensions and weight; loading appointment.
- Name the exact receiving premises and loading entrance, then agree who will meet the vehicle. Visitor parking, pedestrian routes and the goods handover are separate parts of the plan.
Keep the deadline visible
Add the last permitted collection date and booked loading slot to the enquiry. Auction storage charges and the transport booking are separate arrangements.
Do not rely on a submitted enquiry to meet an auction deadline. Confirm vehicle availability and the collection plan before committing to the appointment.
