Check where a delivery vehicle can stop
Describe road width, low branches, gates, gradients and whether the vehicle can turn or leave safely. Add any parking restrictions or need to arrange access with neighbours or a property manager.
A postcode identifies the area but cannot describe your driveway. Include instructions for finding the actual entrance and a suitable place to unload.
Plan freight to a home address around your Stourport-on-Severn access
For Stourport-on-Severn freight, provide the receiving yard or premises entrance and check height clearance independently of the postcode. Tail-lift work needs a suitable firm surface and space for safe unloading; a riverside parking suggestion is not enough. Confirm the packed load, turning room and site contact before agreeing the journey.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- Confirm vehicle clearance and a firm stopping surface; do not use a waterside path as a vehicle approach.
- For freight to a home address, prepare: residential access; firm level unloading area; tail-lift and handling request.
Kerbside and indoor delivery are different
Pallet freight may be handed over outside at an agreed accessible point. A pallet truck needs a suitable surface; gravel, soft ground, steps and slopes can prevent normal handling.
Ask explicitly if you need carrying into a building or placement beyond the unloading point. Do not assume this is included. For household carrying and removals, follow the Movivio link.
