Christmas is a very busy time of year for all the parcel carriers. With a little planning, you can make sure your loved ones that are far away get their gifts on time, and in one piece.
Christmas parcel delivery tips
Don't leave it to the last minute
Make sure you use a company that gets a signature on collection
Make sure you use a company that will redeliver if they are not in
Package the item securely, we are happy to advise you if you are not sure
If the present is very heavy, consider sending it in two parcels so you don't incur an overweight surcharge
Check that you can legally post the item
Check the item is covered by courier insurance
If in doubt, ask us - 0844 884 3331
We will happily collect from your doorstep, all the parcels and packages you need delivering to your loved ones, give us a call and we can book you straight in.
Trans-shipping occurs when you courier moves your parcel onto another vehicle and it completes it's onward journey on a different vehicle to which it started.
(the video below may take a few moments to load depending on your internet speed)
If your parcel is fragile or valuable, trans-shipping isn't suitable. So a Same Day or express courier is needed. This is the more expensive option, but rarely do goods get broken, lost or damaged in transit.
If you would like to have a chat about our parcel services, this year we have 100% successful, unbroken, undamaged deliveries, we will be happy to advise. We can be contacted on 0844 883 3331 or 07816 528421.
So you have just sold some great items on Ebay or manufactured something fragile and precious, you now need to get it to your customer as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The item has to be packed securely, as not all parcel companies are as careful as Essex based courier company, Arrow Light Haulage.
Think carefully, a parcel could get thrown around as its loaded, it can bump about on conveyor belts and it can even get heavy items placed on top of it.
With that in mind, bubble wrap fragile parts, and consider putting shredded papered or paper scrunched up in balls around your item. Secure any lids with tape. Secure any loose parts with tape. Brown tape, parcel tape, or even tape branded with fragile. Just make sure it's secure. Lift the box and gently shake it, if it sounds loose then you need to add more paper around the item. When you are happy that its safe and secure, seal up all the edges with tape.
When addressing your package, write directly onto the box in large clear letters, if you place a label there is the possibility it may get ripped off and your package gets 'lost' in the system.
Don't forget to put your return address on the back.
Then weigh your item, remember a courier is bound by HSE regulations that say they must not lift over 25kgs, so even if you can lift it, you still need to check its weight!
Then give us a call on 07816 528421 we deliver throughout the UK from Essex, Kent and East London for just £10 plus VAT for items up to 15kgs.
