Use package dimensions, not showroom dimensions
The assembled wardrobe or bed size does not show how many cartons need collecting. List every package, its longest dimension and available weight information. Include smaller fittings packs and accessories. Tell us about any item sold assembled, as that needs a different inventory from boxed flat-pack furniture.
Plan ikea collection around your Aldridge access
For an Aldridge move, specify the full WS9 address, driveway dimensions and any shared access before estimating the carrying work. If loading depends on restricted road space, establish the lawful arrangement early and allow for a longer carry if permission is unavailable. Keep entrances and pavements clear while boxes and furniture are moved.
Get the seller’s collection reference, release authority and readiness time. Confirm the actual address after purchase; a retailer name does not identify a local branch or a collection appointment.
- Agree a lawful Aldridge loading location and a fallback carrying or handover point if restricted road space cannot be used.
- For ikea collection, prepare: confirmed collection location; every package and its size; order release arrangements.
Confirm the order can be released
Check the retailer’s current collection instructions yourself and confirm that the order is ready. Explain any collection appointment, authorisation or paperwork required. Do not assume there is an IKEA collection point in Aldridge; provide the real address and postcode. Agree transport availability before committing to a collection slot.
Plan delivery into your home
- Measure access for the longest carton and identify the destination floor.
- Keep unpacking and assembly separate unless those tasks have been agreed.
- Confirm the order and receiving arrangements before the transport booking.
Your Aldridge enquiry checklist
- For ikea collection, have these details ready: confirmed collection location; every package and its size; order release arrangements.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. WS9 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
