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 Uttoxeter address
For parcel & boxed goods involving Uttoxeter, give the full ST14 address and the exact entrance. Use Uttoxeter, Staffordshire and the complete ST14 address; distinguish the town premises from a racecourse, general East Staffordshire or surrounding rural destination. Identify the exact market-street, business, residential or rural entrance and record narrow approaches, event-day controls where signed, gates, surface, carrying distance and safe turning space.
Check Staffordshire County Council's roadworks map, traffic regulation orders, parking guidance and any required temporary traffic-management 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 Uttoxeter 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.
