Describe what needs protection
List glass, ceramics, screens, precision parts or other vulnerable elements and their packed dimensions and weight. State whether the load must remain upright or cannot be stacked.
A fragile label alone does not replace appropriate packaging. Ask who is responsible for protection and whether the proposed service is suitable for the goods.
Plan fragile freight enquiries at your Shurdington address
Shurdington includes homes, workplaces and community premises with different entrances. Give the complete GL51 address, exact furniture or goods entrance, steps or lift, surface, carrying distance, lawful vehicle position and the contact who can authorise the handover. Record packed length, width, height and gross weight, plus tail-lift or forklift needs separately at collection and delivery. Check the Gloucestershire Highways maps for current or planned works on the booked date. This guidance does not grant loading permission, promise access or confirm availability.
Measure goods as they will travel. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space at both addresses.
- For fragile freight enquiries, prepare: fragile parts identified; protective packaging; handling and cover agreed.

Discuss declared value, applicable cover, exclusions and evidence requirements before booking. Do not assume unlimited insurance or specialist art handling.
