Booking checklist for after hours courier in Newcomb
Use this checklist when requesting after hours courier for Newcomb. The listed location service profile is Same Day / Next Day; this is practical planning guidance based on the verified coverage data, not proof of previous jobs or a guarantee of a route, driver, vehicle or time slot.
Before collection
- Confirm the collection address in Newcomb (3219) and provide the destination address and postcode.
- Describe the freight, number of pieces, dimensions and total weight; note palletised, fragile or high-value items.
- Share the requested collection date and timing. Dispatch confirms an estimate for the booking rather than a guaranteed slot.
- Flag opening hours, site access, loading area, dock or forklift availability, and any tail-lift or pallet-jack requirement.
- For Geelong planning, give the exact street address and postcode and allow dispatch to assess road distance, route conditions, capacity and the requested timing.
- For after-hours, confirm the requested evening, overnight, weekend or public-holiday window and who will be available at collection.
Before delivery
- Provide the receiver name, phone number, business hours and any site reference or booking requirement.
- Keep the receiving area and an authorised contact ready for the confirmed arrival estimate.
- If a signature or other handover instruction is needed, ask dispatch to confirm whether it can be arranged before booking.
- For an out-of-hours delivery, confirm who can receive the freight and how the site can be accessed during that window.
