Large-item return collections: the Leicester plan
For a Leicester private pallet delivery, confirm the receiving ground and handover point before booking. Include the loaded pallet dimensions and gross weight; carrying individual items indoors is a separate handling requirement.
- Return authorised: include the details for both ends of this freight delivery.
- Packaging requirements: include the details for both ends of this freight delivery.
- Receiving slot and reference: include the details for both ends of this freight delivery.
Confirm the return before arranging freight
Ask the retailer where the item must go, which reference is required and whether they need an appointment. Their acceptance of a return is separate from transport availability.
Follow the agreed packaging requirements and provide packed dimensions and weight. Tell us if the original packaging is missing or the item is damaged.
Set out the handover requirements
Explain where the goods are located at collection and whether they are ready to load. Provide the receiving hours and any goods-in restrictions at the destination.
Transport does not guarantee a refund or resolve a purchase dispute. Confirm your return arrangements directly with the seller and the freight plan with the team.
Resolve bollard entry window and exit plan
For goods inside Leicester's pedestrian-priority area, check the street-specific entry and exit arrangements with the recipient and council guidance. Set the receiving appointment only after the vehicle's lawful access window has been established.
For this large-item return collections request, explain any uncertainty about return authorised before accepting a quote. The collection-ready time, vehicle access and recipient availability must work together; a short driving distance does not remove the handling work.
Before you confirm large-item return collections
Send the full collection and delivery addresses, return authorised and packaging requirements, and photographs of any awkward access. Ask for a written scope covering the handling required at your Leicester address.
Check the proposed supplier, price, vehicle or crew, relevant cover and any waiting arrangements. Do not release the goods until the booking and handover instructions have been agreed.
