Measure the largest travelling package rather than the display item alone. Confirm the vehicle’s permitted collection point separately, then check each usable doorway and turn at delivery.

Trace the actual goods-to-vehicle carry
Broadway’s visitor directions identify car-park access and a pedestrianised town-centre section. Ask the retailer which goods-release entrance serves the order and how the packages reach the confirmed vehicle position.
Record any doors, steps and turns on that actual carry. Confirm package count and readiness with the releasing contact rather than inferring a loading route from the visitor entrance or a product display.
Measure the piece in its travelling form
Obtain dimensions for every package, identifying the largest or longest. Include packaging and accompanying parts. For furniture collected from a home or seller, confirm whether it travels assembled or in agreed sections.
Compare that travelling form with the usable openings and turns at both ends. Request optional preparation beforehand where required and keep labelled fixings together. The furniture preparation guide develops the method.
Check the selected home approach and room
If the driveway will be used, confirm permission, usable opening and vehicle space directly. Describe the remaining path to the door. If loading is from the street, record that actual carry and any entrance steps instead.
Continue through the hallway, stair turn or permitted lift to the receiving room. Record stair storeys under the access terms, keeping outside levels and intermediate landings separate. Choose help for both complete carries.
A packaged desk passes through the receiving hallway
Illustrative example: a customer collects a packaged desk and chair for a Bexleyheath home. The retailer confirms the release point and package dimensions, and the recipient checks the longest package through the entrance and hallway turn.
The agreed driveway or lawful street carry is recorded before help is selected. If a second seller is included, its item and route are added independently to the complete brief.
Keep one package-to-room fit record
- Actual retailer release entrance and carry to the vehicle.
- Every package and largest travelling dimensions.
- Prepared condition and labelled parts or fixings.
- Confirmed drive or street approach, doors and turns.
- Receiving-room route, selected help and opening contact.
Use the loading guide for vehicle permission and quote preparation for the full load and work record.
Common questions
Do assembled product dimensions prove the package fits the hall?
Check the actual travelling packages, including packaging and the largest or longest piece, against every usable door and turn.
Should the receiving route change if the drive cannot be used?
Describe the actual lawful street position and remaining carry instead of retaining an assumed driveway approach.
