Night delivery checklist: logistics and access information
A clear checklist makes night deliveries smoother. Provide access codes, contacts, parking notes, restricted hours and precise drop-off locations to avoid delays.
Quick answer
For smooth night deliveries in Zurich, Geneva or Basel, provide access codes, reachable contacts, parking instructions, restricted hours and exact drop-off locations in advance. These details cut waiting time, reduce repeat trips and secure handovers.
Why a checklist matters for night deliveries
Night deliveries happen outside regular hours. Sites may be closed, access points altered or parking restricted. A checklist removes guesswork, saves time and reduces costs. It helps the courier leave parcels correctly or hand them over securely.
Essential access information
Always supply full access details: street address with building and floor, gate or loading bay numbers, valid access codes or digital keys, and bell or security desk instructions. State code validity times. For industrial zones, note precise entrance routes and barrier procedures.
Contacts and delivery authorisations
List one or more reachable contacts with phone numbers and preferred channels (call, SMS, WhatsApp). Name substitutes. If unattended drops are allowed, provide a written drop-off authorisation describing the exact location.
Parking notes and access routes
Briefly describe the best parking for a van or small truck. Note short‑term parking zones, loading bays or private driveways. State if a parking disc, permit or voucher is needed. For narrow streets or pedestrian areas, show permitted access times.
Restricted hours, loading doors and operating windows
Inform about restricted hours such as quiet times, construction closures or locked zones. Give operating windows when doors can be opened. If gates use remote controls or access cards, include step‑by‑step instructions.
Drop-off locations and marking
Specify an exact drop-off spot for unattended deliveries: for example, “behind second bin on left” or “shed, shelf B3, marked with recipient name”. Add photos in the booking notes when possible. Note shelter, visibility and security.
Frequently asked questions
What if an access code does not work?
Call the listed contact immediately. Provide a secondary contact in advance. If no one answers, record the attempt with time and photo and instruct whether to return, leave the parcel at a safe spot or bring it back.
Can I give a written drop-off authorisation?
Yes. Keep it short: location, visibility, acceptance of risk and who is liable. Upload it to the booking or send by email. Clear authorisations reduce queries and waiting time.
How do I provide short-term parking permissions?
Specify the parking zone and required documents like a parking disc, sign or temporary permit. If you supply a digital permit, include activation steps.
Should I add photos of the drop spot?
Yes. Photos help the courier find the location fast and prevent misplacements. Mark the precise spot or the route to it.
