# How to book a direct courier correctly: checklist for businesses

A concise, practical checklist for businesses: prepare and book a direct courier correctly — from address details to tracking and contact persons.

14 September 2026

## Quick answer

To book a direct courier correctly, provide full address data, secure packaging, a reachable contact person with phone, priority and preferred time, plus tracking. These details cut calls, delays and misdeliveries.

## 1. One-line purpose

This checklist helps businesses book a direct courier without mistakes. Focus: clear details, safe packaging and reachable contacts.

## 2. Check pickup and delivery addresses

Verify full company details: company name, department, street and number, additions (e.g. Gate 3), postal code and city. Add the exact receiving area for large sites (warehouse, gate, reception). Avoid internal codes drivers don't know.

## 3. Contact persons and reachability

Name a primary contact for pickup and delivery with mobile number and extension. State times when the person is available. Add a backup contact if needed.

## 4. Packaging and securing the shipment

Use secure packaging suited to size and shape. Mark fragile items clearly. Attach paper documents in a clear pouch on the outside or upload them digitally if the booking tool allows.

## 5. Priority, preferred time and vehicle notes

State whether the courier is urgent (immediate, same business day, preferred delivery time). Note any vehicle needs (loading space, capacity, trunk or rear access) and site restrictions like low clearance or underground parking.

## 6. Accompanying documents and legal checks

Include delivery note, order or other documents. Mark confidential shipments. Confirm the shipment is not a regulated category (e.g. dangerous goods, temperature-controlled medical items) where applicable.

## Frequently asked questions

What if the address is incomplete? Incomplete addresses cause queries and delays. Add details like gate number, floor or driving directions to reduce risk.

What packaging reduces transport damage best? Strong boxes, sufficient padding, edge protection and secure seals help. Use internal supports for fragile parts and label the package clearly.

How do I request a preferred delivery time? Select the proper priority in the booking form and add a requested time or time window. Provide alternative windows for flexibility.

Is digital tracking necessary? Yes. Tracking keeps sender and receiver informed and helps plan arrivals. Upload tracking info or reference numbers in your procurement system if available.
