Booking & quotes
How quickly can you collect?
Contact dispatch with the collection postcode, ready time and load details. We check available vehicles and the journey to you before agreeing a collection time. There is no blanket arrival-time promise.
What information do you need for a quote?
Both postcodes, your preferred date and times, a description of the goods, dimensions, weight and quantity. Include loading help, access restrictions and any additional stops. Use our quote enquiry form.
Can I book in advance?
Yes. Planned movements help us check suitable capacity and site requirements. Share your date, collection window and delivery deadline.
Do you offer regular route pricing and business accounts?
We can discuss repeat routes, agreed pricing, purchase-order references and account invoicing. Account facilities and payment terms are agreed before use.
Is an enquiry a confirmed booking?
No. Availability, price, collection details and carriage arrangements must be agreed before the booking is confirmed.
Vehicles & loads
How do I know what vehicle I need?
You do not need to choose one. Send the full dimensions, weight and quantity and we will help. Our vehicle guide gives indicative options.
Can you carry pallets?
Yes, subject to the load and allocated vehicle. Tell us the pallet footprint, loaded height, total weight, any overhang and whether it can be stacked.
Can you move long or oversized items?
Send the full measurements and a photograph. A light but long load may need a larger vehicle or an open-bed option. We check suitability before booking.
Can you provide a tail-lift, flatbed or HGV?
We can check these options for your job. Specify the load and loading method when you enquire. Tail-lift capacity, platform dimensions, ground conditions and access all matter.
What if I do not know the weight or dimensions?
Ask the supplier for the measurements or send the best information and photographs you have. We may need confirmed details before allocating a vehicle.
Can you move temperature-controlled or regulated goods?
These require a separate capability check. Describe the contents and all conditions before booking. We do not treat regulated or temperature-sensitive goods as an ordinary van delivery.
Pricing & changes
How are deliveries priced?
We consider the complete route, vehicle, time, loading requirements, waiting and any additional stops. Short journeys can involve a minimum job charge rather than a simple mileage calculation.
Is VAT included?
We make the VAT position clear in your quote. Business prices are normally shown excluding VAT, with VAT added where applicable.
Do you charge for waiting or extra stops?
Waiting and extra stops can affect the price. Tell us what is expected when enquiring. Any included time and additional charges should be agreed with your quote.
Is driver assistance or handballing available?
Describe the work, weight, access and equipment needed before booking. Assistance is subject to suitability and agreement; do not assume the driver can carry or lift the goods alone.
What happens if I cancel or change the job?
Contact dispatch as soon as possible. Charges depend on the agreed booking terms, notice and whether a vehicle has already been allocated or travelled. Ask us to confirm the position before changing the booking.
Delivery & updates
Will I receive updates and proof of delivery?
Our dispatch team keeps you updated and arranges proof of delivery. Tell us if you need a particular reference, recipient detail or document format.
Is my load carried directly?
Dedicated transport is planned directly between the agreed points. If you ask for a flexible or shared-load option, its arrangements and delivery window are agreed separately.
Can you deliver out of hours?
Ask us to check your required time. Out-of-hours movements must be arranged in advance and depend on vehicle availability and access at both ends.
Can you arrange a return collection?
Yes, we can discuss wait-and-return or a separately scheduled return. Tell us the expected ready time and whether the return load differs from the outbound one.
Care & carriage
What about insurance and goods in transit?
Describe the goods and their value before booking, especially fragile or high-value items. Ask us to confirm the applicable carriage cover, limits and exclusions for your movement.
How should the load be prepared?
Pack goods suitably for road transport and tell us about securing or lifting requirements. Pallets should be stable, with dimensions including any overhang. The loading and securing method must suit the allocated vehicle.
Do you have a walk-in counter?
No. We operate as a transport service, not a parcel shop. Contact dispatch to arrange collection; the registered office is not a drop-off counter.
Moving & nationwide collections
Do you offer Man & Van or two-person moving?
We can discuss furniture, bulky goods, office equipment and small moves. Tell us the inventory, weights, parking, stairs and lifting requirements. The crew and included handling are agreed before booking.
Can you collect outside the Midlands?
Yes. We check nationwide collections as well as deliveries, including flexible return loads when a suitable vehicle is travelling along the route. Collection timing and availability are confirmed for each job.
Does MWB tell me the height of the van?
No. Length and roof-height variants differ. Our high-roof MWB is approximately 2.1m internally, but we check door clearance and the particular vehicle against your load before booking.
Still have a question?
Send the route, timing and load details. We’ll work through the rest.
