Start with the releasing and receiving contacts before selecting a slot. Expected arrival at the collection home does not establish when all stored pieces will be loaded or final-room delivery completed.

Obtain the fixed release and receiving limits
Ask when the complete selected load can be released and who opens each room, store and furniture entrance. Include any seller availability, key handover, building period or lawful-loading limit that applies at the actual address.
At delivery, confirm keys, earliest admission and when unloading and final-room carrying must finish. Add any seller, building or facility deadline at another declared stop. Give the combined fixed limits to support before booking and leave unresolved access pending.
Include the load check and remaining agreed preparation
Plan opening the home and checking the complete furniture, stored pieces, sections and fixings against the agreed list. Allow for any remaining preparation, including optional work booked at that stop, before carrying goods through the room, hall, porch and outside route to loading.
Continue through travel and every extra stop, its admission and handling, then receiving entry, unloading and final-room placement. The driving estimate alone does not account for gathering the complete load through its actual exits.
Maintain access through the end of each handover
The collection contact must release all agreed goods and keep the accepted route usable until loading ends. The recipient needs authorised access and the final room available through the entire unloading and carrying sequence. Select assistance for the room, porch and outside carries and the full delivery route. Customer loading and unloading needs sufficient people throughout both handovers, including any separately stored pieces.
Read the arrival terms and distinguish estimated pickup arrival from guaranteed completion. Report changed seller, keyholder or building arrangements promptly so the connected window can be assessed again.
Chairs stored elsewhere must be ready with the table
Hypothetical example: a Stamford Hill customer collects a prepared table while chairs are kept in another room. The seller has a fixed release limit and the recipient has a separate receiving appointment.
The customer confirms that all goods and parts will be ready, gives both complete routes and asks for a compatible sequence before booking. A table being near the door is not treated as the whole collection.
Keep a complete-load handover timeline
- All goods, sections and fixings checked; remaining agreed preparation included.
- Seller, keys, building and facility limits where applicable.
- All starting locations, full carries, loading, stops and travel.
- Receiving admission, unloading and final-room completion.
- Contacts, alternatives and unresolved permissions.
Use London scheduling guidance for wider dependencies. Reconcile the loading arrangement with the preparation sequence.
Common questions
Should goods in another room affect the timing brief?
Include every starting location’s preparation, release and complete carry before selecting the window.
What receiving limits should be provided?
Give earliest admission and the time by which unloading and the final-room carry must finish.
