Making delivery appointment times clear across countries
For an international move, a time on its own can be ambiguous. Confirm appointments with the date, local time and address.
Before you start
Create separate calendar entries for collection and delivery. Check time zones and seasonal changes using current calendar settings.
Practical steps
- State the address's local time explicitly in messages.
- Record the recipient's availability and permitted building access hours.
- Distinguish a confirmed appointment from an estimated delivery window.
Checks on arrival
Reconfirm the date and window with the coordinator as the appointment approaches. Share changes with both addresses using the same updated record.
What to include in your quote request
Prepare both addresses, access measurements and photographs for your enquiry. Identify uncertain access conditions explicitly. Confirm equipment, building coordination and delivery responsibilities in the written scope so the plan can be followed in practice.
