The benefits of sameday delivery

Sameday delivery is usually the more costly option for sending items around the country, but there are a few benefits to using this type of service that you may not be aware of. When sending your goods via any of the overnight networks, you have to ensure that they are suitably packaged to safely negotiate all of the stages involved in that process. Parcels and packages are typically stacked in cages and usually have to pass along conveyors on their journey. This means that you need to consider your choice of container and how you pack your items inside. (See our packing tips page if you do need to do this) When sending your items via a dedicated sameday service you can pretty much send things “as is”. With a dedicated driver and vehicle, items can be collected and secured straight into the vehicle, with strapping and padding used, or with containers provided for smaller items. Goods are also fully insured and additional insurance can be arranged for especially high value items. Another big advantage with sameday delivery is being able to specify exact collection and delivery times. Obviously this will be traffic and weather permitting however, this is taken into account as much as possible when jobs are booked. The drivers are in direct contact, so updates can be obtained at any point.
