Build the route before agreeing appointments
Number each seller, give the postcode and describe the item waiting there. Record earliest and latest access times, not just a preferred arrival. The route may need to change if a seller is unavailable or an item is larger than expected. Do not commit every seller to the same collection time.
Plan multiple seller collections at your Blockley address
For a single furniture item, ask the Blockley seller for its travel dimensions and the route out of the property. A short drive to the buyer does not remove handling work on a stepped or sloping approach.
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 multiple seller collections, prepare: numbered collection stops; items assigned to each seller; compatible access windows.
- 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.
Consider what is on the vehicle at each stage
A large final collection must fit alongside the items already loaded. List dimensions and anything needing special protection. Explain whether any furniture should be delivered before the other collections. Extra mileage, waiting and changes to the route need to be agreed in the price and booking scope.
Keep each handover organised
- Confirm that each purchase is complete and ready to release.
- Have a reliable contact for each collection point.
- Update the transport request if a purchase falls through or another item is added.
