Courier planning in Stoke-on-Trent.

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.

Use Stoke-on-Trent and the complete ST1 address; identify the correct Potteries town or district rather than treating Stoke, Hanley and the wider city as interchangeable. Identify the exact terraced, canalside, industrial, business or residential entrance and record restricted streets, bridge constraints, gates, floor level, carrying distance and a lawful vehicle position. Check Stoke-on-Trent City Council's highway-closure, road-problem and parking guidance close to the booked movement and obey every current sign. Hazard lights do not make an unsafe or illegal position acceptable. This guidance does not grant permission, reserve a vehicle or promise access, timing, coverage or availability.
