Give a complete consignment list
Group identical units and enter their quantity, dimensions and weight per unit. List different sizes separately. Explain if goods must remain together or can be split across agreed collections.
Part-load planning may involve other customers’ freight or handling stages. Ask how your goods will travel, what preparation is required and how any delivery window will be confirmed.
Plan part-load freight around your Aldridge access
For Aldridge freight, give the business unit, gate instructions and a receiving contact rather than only a WS9 postcode. Confirm that the unloading area is inside the agreed site boundary and that the intended vehicle can turn. Where roadside loading is proposed, verify the restrictions and permission independently of the customer's opening hours.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- Agree a lawful Aldridge loading location and a fallback carrying or handover point if restricted road space cannot be used.
- For part-load freight, prepare: pallet or package count; stackability and total weight; collection and delivery flexibility.
Explain your flexibility
A delivery date can be flexible even if the collection date is fixed. State both requirements, including seller deadlines and receiving hours.
Compare the complete quoted service: route, loading, unloading, packaging, waiting terms and any applicable cover. The lowest headline price alone may describe a different scope.
Your Aldridge enquiry checklist
- For part-load freight, have these details ready: pallet or package count; stackability and total weight; collection and delivery flexibility.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. WS9 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
