Planning the drop in Blackpool

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Blackpool is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• On busy streets in Blackpool, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
