Goods-in on Harrogate Road beside Leeds Bradford Airport
The industrial estate sits on the A658 on the airport side of town and is made up of warehouse units of different sizes. Deliveries there generally go to a goods-in door or a trade counter, so the van is booked against a reference and an arrival window. Tell us whether the unit has a loading door or yard, and whether the site has a barrier, because a 2.5m-tall van cannot pass under a 2.1m one.
The hilltop centre asks for a different approach. High Street, Kirk Lane and Ivegate are narrow and lined with parked cars, so a shop drop works best before opening or in the quiet of mid-afternoon. Traffic builds around the Rawdon crossroads at school times and when airport shifts change, so a delivery with a deadline is timed around those windows rather than into them.
Setting up a Yeadon trade or stock delivery
- Load space is 3.4m long, 1.3m between the wheel arches and 1.7m high; a job bigger than one van-load belongs with a haulier
- A stock run that comes round again is booked as its own job each time, with a fixed price agreed before the van sets off
- For a unit on the airport estate, give the unit number and the name on the door, not only the estate's postcode
- Drops to High Street and Ivegate shops go best before opening, while the kerb outside is clear
- Goods in transit cover is £10,000 and public liability £5 million; mention it if a consignment is worth more

How a Yeadon business delivery is priced
The number of drops, any waiting at a goods-in door and the size of the load decide the price, and each run is quoted as one fixed figure before the van sets off. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Business & Trade Deliveries in Yeadon: your questions
We need stock moved most weeks. How is that booked?
Each run is booked and priced as its own job, with a fixed price agreed before the van sets off. Send the pick-up, the drop and the usual volume, and ask for the next date as soon as you know it.
Can the van deliver airside at the airport?
No. Drops go to landside addresses such as the units on the industrial estate, not airside.
Our unit has a barrier at the entrance. Is that a problem?
Only if it is a height barrier. The van is about 2.5m tall and cannot pass under a 2.1m one, so say so and the drop is made at the gate or a goods-in door outside it.
What happens if goods-in is closed when you arrive?
You get a call straight away. The van waits if the delay is short, or the drop is rearranged with you.
