Measure the whole item
Include handles, protruding parts and the crate or protective packaging in the measurements. Give the weight of the heaviest piece as well as the total where the item separates into parts.
Identify glass, fragile panels, exposed moving parts or a need to keep the item upright. A vehicle with enough space may still need additional equipment or people to handle the load safely.
Match the Cheltenham entrance to the freight
For a Cheltenham collection, identify whether the address is a residence, business, auction site or storage unit and name the goods entrance. Explain vehicle height or turning constraints reported by the premises contact. Include opening hours and any loading appointment, not just the postcode.
Confirm the load in its travel condition and say who supplies loading and unloading equipment. A destination with no forklift needs its own plan even if collection is straightforward.
Agree the handover point
Tell us if the item is in a room, on an upper floor or already beside a loading bay. Freight transport does not automatically include dismantling, installation or room-of-choice delivery.
For furniture carrying, a house move or dismantling, use Movivio via the service links on this page. For a packed or crated load, explain the handling needed in your Freivio enquiry.
Your Cheltenham enquiry checklist
- For bulky item delivery, have these details ready: exact item size and weight; packaging and fragile parts; carrying or lifting requirements.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. GL50 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
