Shop frontages in the old centre and goods-in bays at junction 27

For a shop around the market place, the delivery is shaped by Thursday. The market takes the central space in the triangular market place, so stock for those frontages is best dropped on another day or before the stalls go up. The rest of the week the question is where the van can stand for a few minutes while the trolley does the work, so say where the back door or nearest loading point is when you book.

Deliveries into the big retail units are a different kind of job. Large stores usually work to a booked goods-in slot with a reference number and a named contact, and a van that turns up unannounced can be sent away. Send the booking reference, the unit and the slot, and the run is planned around it rather than queuing on the approach roads, which can crawl at weekends.

How a Birstall business delivery is booked and priced

Every trade run is quoted on its own before it is booked, so a shop restocking twice a month knows the figure for each trip
For a frontage on the market place, give the back door or the nearest loading point, and keep stock drops off Thursday when the stalls are up
A supplier pick-up in Leeds and drops to shops in Birstall and Batley can go in one booking and be priced as one run
Goods in transit cover is £10,000 and public liability £5 million, figures you can give a retail unit's goods-in team if it asks
The load space is 3.4m long and 1.3m between the wheel arches, so shelving, display boards and long lengths lie flat

Business & Trade Deliveries in Birstall: your questions

Can you deliver stock to a shop on the market place on a Thursday?

It can be done early, before the stalls are set, but another day is easier. On market day the central space is taken, so the van stops further away and the trolley covers the gap, which adds time.

Can you work to a goods-in slot at one of the big retail units?

Yes. Send the booking reference, the unit and the slot time. The run is planned around that slot, and if the site wants the driver's name or the van registration in advance, that can be sent too.

Can one run collect from our supplier and drop at two of our shops?

Yes, if the goods fit the 3.4m load floor together. Give every address and the order the drops should go in, and the whole run is priced as one job before it is booked.

Can you hold stock for us between deliveries?

No, there is no warehouse or storage of our own. If your stock sits in your own self-storage unit, runs to and from it can be booked like any other collection.
