Ask first. Keep the answer.

Give the general locality, premises type and known access details. Ask whether the provider can assess the job and what additional information is needed. A district name alone does not confirm coverage.

Ask for a specific list: packages, required measurements, packing condition or access. If a detail is unavailable, identify who can obtain it and when you will provide an update.

Distinguish your requested window from the timing agreed by the provider. Ask how confirmation is given and who should be contacted if site or cargo conditions change.

Ask who arranges any required people or equipment, who assesses suitability and who coordinates with the site controller. Do not assume it is included merely because transport is being discussed.

Report known restrictions such as entry conditions, access hours or limited space. Ask the premises controller to confirm the actual details. The provider needs to assess their effect before committing.

Obtain site instructions from the premises controller and share them through the agreed channel. This site does not determine a safe waiting position or direct vehicle movements.

Provide the current count and details, identifying what changed. Ask whether the provider needs to reassess the proposal. Do not assume an agreement for the old load also covers the new one.

Ask how receipt is recorded, who receives the cargo and which reference is used. Distinguish receipt records from decisions about cargo condition under the parties’ agreed process.

End the conversation with an action, a responsible party and an update method. If a decision is conditional, keep its conditions with the summary so they are not lost when a message is forwarded.
