Packing formats
Retail quantities usually travel in bags; project volumes may move loose or in bulk bags. The right format depends on quantity, destination and how the material will be handled at site. Confirm the packing format with us when you enquire — we match it to the quantity, the destination and how the material will be unloaded at site.
What drives freight cost
- Total weight, not volume
- Distance to destination
- Vehicle size the site can receive
- Whether offloading equipment is available
- Access restrictions such as narrow lanes or timing rules
Reducing surprises
Share the delivery address, expected vehicle access and offloading arrangement when you enquire. Most freight problems on stone orders are access problems discovered on the day.
