Courier and parcel delivery in London.

A collection with a fixed receiving window

If a sender closes early and a recipient accepts deliveries only during a short window, provide both contacts, parcel dimensions, readiness time and an alternative receiving arrangement. Additional stops need their own access and handover details.

What the quotation should settle

• The complete collection and delivery addresses and permitted loading points.
• The goods, handling help, equipment and access assumptions included in the price.
• Agreed windows, named handover contacts and what to do if access changes.
• Who records completion and which photographs or documents may be shared.

For London addresses, identify the highway authority for the loading place: TfL manages its red routes and boroughs manage most other roads. Check the signs and any required permission with the correct authority. Use TfL's vehicle checker for applicable charging schemes; permission to enter a zone does not reserve a loading space.
