A better request starts here.
The details you provide shape the vehicle, help and time your delivery needs. These guides help you prepare a request a courier can assess.
Furniture
Sofas, tables, beds and bulky marketplace finds. Measure the goods and the route through the property.
Appliances
Washing machines, fridges and other heavy items. Explain disconnection, packaging and handling needs.
Business loads
Stock, equipment and palletised goods. Provide dimensions, weights and collection-site requirements.
Five details worth adding to every request
- Item count, dimensions and approximate weight.
- Collection and delivery areas, with exact addresses collected privately only after quote acceptance.
- Preferred dates and how flexible you can be.
- Stairs, lifts, parking restrictions and loading access.
- Whether packaging, extra handling help or specialist equipment is required.
Do not assume disassembly, installation, disposal or extra lifting help is included. Ask for those requirements to be confirmed in the offer.
