Driver should phone me 40 minutes before delivery. Tailgate of truck is only rated to 500kgs and consignment is 800kgs plus. Means I'm going to be handballing it off truck. :(

Anyone available on the 10th May with 40 minutes notice to assist?

I am heading off again on 16th May until 24th May. Would be good if collected befor 16th May.
I will let shipping agency knows about this!
So sorry about that.
Each package is 23kg
So it need at least 15 box to remove it

Each boxes has customers name on it
Should be easy to identify

I've often had 1 tonne pallets delivered by tail lift so it must be the delivery company"s limitation on what vehicles they have.
