A seller adding chairs, leaving a table assembled or changing the furniture exit can alter the collection brief. Record the actual difference and discuss it before work begins, rather than treating every change as the same kind of charge.

Reconcile the goods released at every collection
Compare the confirmed purchase with the quote inventory. Add extra chairs, boxed accessories and removed sections, and identify any item now held at another address. A further pickup changes the stops and its own access and release requirements.
Recheck dimensions if the seller has changed the travelling state. An assembled table can require different handling from a prepared tabletop and legs even when the purchase itself is unchanged.
Describe the new exit and any preparation request
If goods leave from a rear store instead of the agreed front door, describe the new gate, steps, turns and carry to the actual lawful position. Give both the address and usable entrance; a correction from a station landmark may reveal a different collection route.
Eligible packing and unpacking, item disassembly or item assembly at any agreed stop are optional services. They use separate elapsed team time in 30-minute blocks at your booking rate, subject to eligible provider availability. Loading help does not automatically include them. Agree the work and selected time at each relevant stop. Packing and unpacking share one service selection, time allowance and rate.
Separate changed work from time and outside charges
Use the pricing explanation to distinguish a revised inventory, route or service request from time beyond booked time at the shown half-hourly additional-time rate. Separately check applicable parking or journey charges for the actual arrangements.
Ask support how the revised job will be assessed and what is already included. Explain a changed release window or unavailable entrance promptly; do not assume waiting or new preparation is included. Any further work, time and charges need agreement before that work begins.
The table is still assembled and boxes move to another address
Illustrative example: a Mottingham seller says the purchased table will remain assembled, while the customer’s boxed belongings must now be collected at a different property. The customer sends the actual table dimensions and new pickup details.
Support can consider the changed handling, space and stop separately from any eligible item disassembly request at the agreed stop, additional time and applicable street-space cost. The customer does not describe all four as an unexplained local supplement.
Keep a clear change comparison
- Original and revised goods, quantities and collection addresses.
- Prepared dimensions and who will prepare each piece.
- Old and new entrance, vehicle position and full carry.
- Selected services, booked time and shown additional-time rate.
- Applicable external costs and revised fixed windows.
Update the quote record and loading arrangements. The booking-change terms provide the contractual detail.
Common questions
Is collecting the same table necessarily the same work?
Compare its travelling state, dimensions, exit, carry and any preparation request as well as the item name.
Can dismantling be added at a second seller’s address as ordinary loading help?
Optional dismantling is a separately booked service available at any agreed stop, subject to eligible provider availability. Discuss the goods and required preparation before booking; specify any work at additional stops separately too.
