Give the Handover Its Fair Share of the Day

Don't squeeze the pickup between two other jobs. A handover takes real time. You walk round the van. You check the panels and the cab. You sign for what's there. One customer planned a 30-minute slot and made it work, but only because she arrived early with her licence ready.

Let the Calendar Come First

Pick the date before anything else. A delivery down a narrow back lane changes things. Weekday mornings may leave that lane empty. Saturday parkers could block it. One renter chose a Tuesday start for that reason. Van numbers on any one day can't be promised, so keep a backup date.

Have the Load List in Writing

Write the load down before you ring. Every item. One customer listed a sofa, six boxes and a bike, then realised the sofa set the pace. That single line settled her van choice. A written list also stops you overestimating. Overestimating costs money on a van you never fill.

Deal With the Questions in the First Call

Use the first call well. Ask where to collect, where to park on return, and what happens if you run late. Ask whether a tail lift is an option if your delivery is heavy. One caller settled all of it in ten minutes. His collection day had no surprises.
