Make a package-level inventory
A single product may arrive in several boxes of different sizes. Record the quantity, length, width, depth and published weight where available. Include rails, glass packs and fittings cartons. If several products are being collected, group the packages by product so missing pieces are easier for you to identify.
Plan flat-pack furniture transport at your Blockley address
At a hillside Blockley home, measure the route from the largest item to the intended loading position. Record steps separately from a continuous slope and explain any turning point where a sofa or wardrobe must be rotated.
Match the inventory to the actual carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether you want packing or dismantling, and who will provide access at each property.
- For flat-pack furniture transport, prepare: total package count; longest and heaviest cartons; carrying route to the room.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Protect the panels and plan access
Long cartons may need more turning room than expected, particularly on stairs or in a lift. Describe any damaged packaging and ask about suitable protection before collection. Keep boxes dry and do not unpack solely to save space without discussing the handling implications. Furniture assembly is separate from transport unless agreed.
Give the quote the right starting point
- Use the retailer’s package information where it is available.
- Identify both collection access and the destination floor.
- Say whether boxes should be left together in one room or split between rooms.
