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 the Kidsgrove address
For parcel & boxed goods involving Kidsgrove, give the full ST7 address and the exact entrance. Use Kidsgrove, Staffordshire and the complete ST7 address; distinguish the town property from a general Newcastle-under-Lyme or Stoke-on-Trent reference. Identify the actual canalside, rail-side, terraced, estate or business entrance and report narrow approaches, any signed bridge limits, gates, carrying distance and safe turning space.
Check Staffordshire County Council's roadworks map, traffic regulation orders, parking guidance and any required temporary traffic-management 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 parcel & boxed goods, prepare: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
- Name the actual Kidsgrove entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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.
