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 around your Southam access
For Southam freight, name the business unit and goods entrance rather than relying on a CV47 postcode alone. Give the packed load's dimensions and weight, then confirm the surface, gate and unloading equipment at the receiving address. A customer parking space or Wood Street meeting point does not establish a pallet unloading arrangement.
Record length, width, height and gross weight in the packed condition. Confirm the vehicle approach, handling equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends independently.
- Use the full CV47 address and distinguish the goods entrance from any Wood Street meeting point.
- For parcel & boxed goods, prepare: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
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.
Your Southam enquiry checklist
- For parcel & boxed goods, have these details ready: number of cartons; dimensions and weight per carton; packaging and contents.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. CV47 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.
