Sending a courier enquiry is the first step in checking whether a suitable service can be arranged. It does not, by itself, reserve a vehicle or confirm a collection time. A Transport Services reviews the information, checks the available options and confirms the proposed service and price with you before a booking is agreed.
1. We review the route and shipment
We look at the collection and delivery postcodes, the goods, number of pieces, dimensions, total weight and how the items will be loaded. Your preferred collection date and time also matter. Clear details help us understand the job and identify questions that need answering before a carrier can assess it.
If anything is missing or unclear, we may contact you for more information. For example, the outside dimensions of a palletised load, site access restrictions or whether loading equipment is available at both ends can affect the vehicle options.
2. We check a suitable carrier option
A Transport Services Ltd is based in Newport, Shropshire. For UK requests, we review suitable independent carrier options for the specific route and shipment. Availability varies by route, vehicle, date and timing. A requested ASAP collection, including a request for collection within one hour, is not guaranteed until availability has been checked and the time confirmed.
For deliveries around Newport, Telford, Shrewsbury, or Birmingham and the West Midlands, include the full route. We also review United Kingdom-wide enquiries, subject to the same booking-specific checks.
3. We discuss the proposed service and price
Before you agree, we explain the proposed service, carrier option, vehicle, price and collection timing. A website estimate is an initial guide and may need to be checked against the full shipment details. No job is confirmed until the details and terms have been agreed.
International enquiries
For transport between the United Kingdom and United States, send the route, goods description, dimensions, weight and preferred air or sea freight option. International enquiries are reviewed individually. We do not show a provisional international price; our team will get in touch to discuss the next steps.
