01 / BEFORE YOU REQUEST A VAN

PREPARING THE CONSIGNMENT.

Information needed for an accurate quote

State materials, value, dimensions and any non-standard fragility or handling restriction.

Also supply both full collection and delivery postcodes, requested time, goods value where relevant, overall dimensions and declared total weight. The vehicle's maximum stated payload is 1,260 kg, but usable capacity for an individual movement must be confirmed.

02 / HANDOVER ARRANGEMENTS

COLLECTION TO DELIVERY.

Collection preparation

Protect prototypes with fitted packaging and provide a named dispatch contact.

Ensure goods are packed and ready at the confirmed collection address with a named contact.

Receiving and unloading

Arrange safe receipt by the intended business team with any access paperwork ready.

A delivery postcode alone does not confirm an accessible unloading place for an XLWB van.

Suitability and exclusions: Regulated, hazardous, temperature-controlled or unapproved high-value goods require separate review or are excluded. Hazardous goods, dangerous materials and waste are excluded from Milevia's advertised courier services.
03 / EXAMPLE USE CASE

WHAT A REQUEST MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

Boxed product samples for a supplier meeting. This is an illustrative shipment type, not an undertaking to carry any particular goods.

Dimensions and weight

Measure the full packed load. Any mechanical assistance required must be arranged in advance.

Location and timing

Specify both postcodes, loading access, collection readiness and receiving hours.

Pricing

Final pricing accounts for the full journey, positioning, any agreed waiting, tolls and access restrictions.

Confirmation

Submitting the enquiry is not a booking. Availability and the fixed price must be explicitly confirmed.
