Turn a lot description into transport details
An auction catalogue may list the object size rather than its packed dimensions. Ask the auctioneer whether the lot is crated, on a pallet or loose, and obtain the gross weight. Confirm exactly which pieces are included.
Explain whether the auction site supplies a forklift or requires the buyer to arrange all lifting. Enter the collection reference only after checking that the goods are authorised for release.
Plan auction freight collections around your Kingswinford access
For Kingswinford freight, ask the premises contact to confirm the approach and space needed to turn and unload. Do not use the Manor Park or Penzer Street passenger-car listing as a truck holding plan. Supply the load's travel dimensions and gross weight, identify available equipment at both addresses and obtain an agreed arrival instruction if the unloading space is shared.
Obtain the seller or site operator’s release instructions and the equipment needed to load safely. Declare unusual contents, fragile parts and anything that cannot be stacked before suitability is assessed.
- Treat Manor Park and Penzer Street as different parking locations; confirm where the Kingswinford job actually loads.
- For auction freight collections, prepare: auction release deadline; lot dimensions and weight; loading appointment.
Keep the deadline visible
Add the last permitted collection date and booked loading slot to the enquiry. Auction storage charges and the transport booking are separate arrangements.
Do not rely on a submitted enquiry to meet an auction deadline. Confirm vehicle availability and the collection plan before committing to the appointment.

- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
