Describe what needs protection
List glass, ceramics, screens, precision parts or other vulnerable elements and their packed dimensions and weight. State whether the load must remain upright or cannot be stacked.
A fragile label alone does not replace appropriate packaging. Ask who is responsible for protection and whether the proposed service is suitable for the goods.
Plan fragile freight enquiries at the Broseley address
For fragile freight enquiries involving Broseley, give the full TF12 address and the exact entrance. Use Broseley, Shropshire and the complete TF12 address; distinguish the premises from wider Ironbridge Gorge or Telford-area references. Identify the precise residential, business or rural entrance, including slopes, narrow streets, gates, surface, signed restrictions and safe turning space.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For fragile freight enquiries, prepare: fragile parts identified; protective packaging; handling and cover agreed.
- Name the actual Broseley entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Agree the journey and responsibility
If you need limited handling or a dedicated vehicle, explain why. The team can review the route and transport request before confirming suitability.
Discuss declared value, applicable cover, exclusions and evidence requirements before booking. Do not assume unlimited insurance or specialist art handling.
