Check where a delivery vehicle can stop
Describe road width, low branches, gates, gradients and whether the vehicle can turn or leave safely. Add any parking restrictions or need to arrange access with neighbours or a property manager.
A postcode identifies the area but cannot describe your driveway. Include instructions for finding the actual entrance and a suitable place to unload.
Plan freight to a home address at your Bourton-on-the-Water address
For a pallet, crate or heavy parcel in Bourton-on-the-Water, identify usable space at the goods entrance and the surface on which the load will be handled. A public car park or pedestrian route should not be assumed suitable for unloading equipment.
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 freight to a home address, prepare: residential access; firm level unloading area; tail-lift and handling request.
- 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.
Kerbside and indoor delivery are different
Pallet freight may be handed over outside at an agreed accessible point. A pallet truck needs a suitable surface; gravel, soft ground, steps and slopes can prevent normal handling.
Ask explicitly if you need carrying into a building or placement beyond the unloading point. Do not assume this is included. For household carrying and removals, follow the Movivio link.
