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 around your Halesowen access
For Halesowen freight, separate the public-facing address from the loading point. If the consignee refers you to parking around Andrew Road, Birmingham Street or Pool Road, ask whether this is simply a meeting point and obtain the actual goods-access instructions. Confirm the surface, tail-lift clearance and unloading equipment before a pallet or machinery collection is priced.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- Check the particular Halesowen entrance and parking section, not just the name Pool Road or High Street.
- For parcel & boxed goods, prepare: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
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.
Your Halesowen enquiry checklist
- For parcel & boxed goods, have these details ready: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B63 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.
