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 at your Bourton-on-the-Water address
For a Bourton-on-the-Water home or accommodation move, identify the correct property entrance and keyholder before estimating the crew’s carrying route. Explain any interval between outgoing and incoming occupants so a vehicle is not planned around unconfirmed access.
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 parcel & boxed goods, prepare: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
- 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.
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.
