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 Oswestry address
For parcel & boxed goods involving Oswestry, give the full SY11 address and the exact entrance. Use Oswestry, Shropshire and the complete SY11 address; distinguish the premises from a broad Welsh-border destination or similarly named road or organisation. Identify the precise town-centre, residential, business or rural entrance, including one-way streets, signed limits, gates, surfaces and a lawful vehicle position.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction 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 Oswestry 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.
