Hollinwood, Broadway and Shaw on one Oldham trade run

Oldham's business sites sit on its edges. Hollinwood is on the M60 at the south-west corner, Oldham Broadway Business Park lies along the Rochdale Canal in Chadderton, and Shaw to the north has the Shaw National Distribution Centre and Trent Mill Industrial Estate. For a run with several stops, tell us the route and the stops, and the run gets a fixed price agreed before we set off.

Shops in the town centre are a different job. Spindles and Town Square have tenants of their own, and Metrolink trams run on the street through Union Street, so a drop there is carried from a side street or a goods entrance. Racking uprights, conduit and boards as long as 3.4m lie flat along the floor of the van. Pallets go only if the load can be broken down and lifted by hand, as the van has no tail-lift and no forklift.

What an Oldham business drop needs

The unit number, the site's receiving times and someone to ask for at each Oldham address
For a town-centre shop, the goods entrance or side street to use, clear of the tram tracks
Lengths up to 3.4m travel flat inside the van
Repeat runs between your own sites are each quoted as a fixed price; send the addresses once
Palletised stock travels only when it can be broken down and carried by hand, box by box
The van leaves Bradford from 8am, so the first Oldham drop is mid-morning at the earliest

How an Oldham trade run is priced

How many Oldham addresses are on the run, how long goods-in keeps the van waiting and the miles between Hollinwood, Chadderton and Shaw decide the figure, which is settled before loading starts. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Business & Trade Deliveries in Oldham: your questions

Can you do repeat runs for our business in Oldham?

Yes, booked one at a time when the diary allows, each with its own fixed price before it starts.

Will the van drop stock at a Spindles shop?

Yes. Say which entrance the centre uses for deliveries, and the van stops clear of the tram route with the goods taken in on the trolley.

Can the van take long lengths to a Shaw or Hollinwood unit?

Yes, up to 3.4m long. Shelving, trunking or boards travel flat on the load floor, so give the lengths, the unit number and the goods-in hours when you book the run.

Which days suit a drop to an Oldham industrial estate?

Any day the site is receiving, as the van works 7 days, 8am to 8pm. Weekday goods-in hours suit Broadway Business Park and Hollinwood, while a weekend drop needs someone on site to sign for it.
