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 Warwick access
Warwick freight planning starts with the business's goods entrance, its receiving appointment and the permitted vehicle approach. Give the packed dimensions and gross weight, and distinguish a public-facing address from a rear unloading point. If there is no loading equipment, describe the surface and space available so tail-lift suitability can be assessed.
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 the actual Warwick entrance and carrying route rather than routing the vehicle to the nearest visitor car park.
- 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 Warwick 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. CV34 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.
