I hope you don't have to move them far!
20 meters into the garage. They are just so awkward.Spent all weekend moving 30 sheets upstairs and plasterboarding 2 rooms...
Thankfully i bought this for £89... WHAT A BARGAIN
Then dot and dabbed the walls... (i hate dot and dabbing!)

If wrapped and delivered by the builders merchants they'll be fine.
Probably, but if they have to come in at some point it's better to get them in now, otherwise it's £600+ soggy lump sat outside that will be a pain to get rid of!There's also the issue of weight on the floors etc.
Unless they're just covered with poly or a tarpaulin they're fine.
I hate wastage. All my years the business and I've never had a problem.
A bit of common sense works wonders.

Tell me about it, when doing our house the number of times my Dad would say to me "this building lark seems mostly about moving things from one place to another". Unless they're just covered with poly or a tarpaulin they're fine.

Moved them in last night.
some in the garage, some in the hall, some in the lounge then 25 sheets up stairs.
took 50 mins with a friend. I wont lie, i was shattered by the time we finished!
2 piles of 20 sheets were left on their side up against a wall but will be put up this weekend!!
Thanks chaps.
EDIT...
150 sheets, 24KG each = 3600
3.96832 TON
WOW

Store them laid flat. Preferably on timber bearers.
Bent plasterboard is not a joy to dry line with.
I'd agree but only if they are not going to used in the near future. I'ts far easier (and saves space) to score and bend in the upright position - as has been said doubling handling is a pain and the main cause of damage.Bent plasterboard is not a joy to dry line with.
