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 at the Madeley address
For ikea collection involving Madeley, give the full CW3 address and the exact entrance. Use Madeley, Staffordshire and the complete CW3 address; distinguish it from Madeley in Telford and other places or premises with the same name. Identify the exact village, residential, business or rural entrance and record narrow approaches, gates, surface, carrying distance and safe turning space.
Check Staffordshire County Council's roadworks map, traffic regulation orders, parking guidance and any required temporary traffic-management process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For ikea collection, prepare: confirmed collection location; every package and its size; order release arrangements.
- Name the actual Madeley entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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 Madeley; 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 Madeley enquiry checklist

- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
