Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Ormskirk is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• On busy streets in Ormskirk, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
