A clear courier enquiry gives enough information to review the route, load, vehicle and requested timing. If key details are missing, follow-up questions may be needed before a carrier can confirm whether the job is suitable.
Give the full route
Include collection and delivery postcodes, and full addresses where available. Mention the site name, collection contact, delivery contact, access instructions and any loading bay or parking restrictions. The route affects the quote and which partner options can be considered.
Describe the goods
State what is being moved, the number of pieces, whether it is boxed or palletised, total weight and the length, width and height of the complete load. Explain whether items are fragile, unusually shaped or need special handling. Give an accurate description of the goods and any handling requirements.
Choose a requested timing
Say whether you are asking for ASAP collection or a scheduled date and time. You may request a pickup within one hour, but this is not guaranteed. Collection availability and timing must be checked and confirmed for each booking. Include any delivery deadline and explain how flexible it is.
Explain the vehicle and site requirements
Tell us what vehicle type you need and how loading will work at both addresses. Vehicle options can include small and mid-sized vans, wheelbase vans, Luton box and curtain-side vehicles, subject to the actual partner vehicle’s capacity and availability.
How partner coordination works
A Transport Services Ltd is based in Newport, Shropshire. We coordinate with suitable independent partner carriers for each requested route. This can extend the partners considered, but it does not mean a driver is always nearby or available. We confirm the proposed carrier, service, price and timing before a job is booked.
