5 things that go wrong with other couriers

I was thinking about the major players in the courier industry today. How they do the little niggling things like ring the doorbell for 1 minute on a Saturday morning delivery. That made me wonder what else they do wrong

1. They don’t re-deliver. You go out, miss delivery and they leave a card to collect from the depot thats 30 miles away and you cannot get it for another week…


2. They tell you any time between 9 and 5pm for delivery, and you wait and wait and wait… you call the depot at 5pm and ask about the delivery only to be told, they couldn’t find you.


3. The courier arrives three hours late for the collection, offers no reason or apology for wasting your time


4. The courier decides it’s acceptable to throw items in and out of the van


5. The courier doesn’t use safer, greening driving techniques and pulls away in a cloud of black exhaust fumes..

Basildon companies are you looking to outsource your vans /own transport and deliveries?

Looking to save money? Looking to outsource your transport to make great time and money savings?

Then look no further than your local Basildon, Essex courier company, Arrow Light Haulage.

Did you know the average delivery driver earns between 15-18k per year? Plus holidays and pensions, add in the cost of your van, whether you buy or lease, you are looking in the regions of another 5k a year when you add in servicing, insurances etc.

Do you really think you need all the drivers you have? As a company you can make significant savings but cutting back on your own transport and outsourcing the remainder.

Example, you have two delivery drivers that cost your company £40k a year. By having one and outsourcing the other you could save 7k by using Arrow Light Haulage to deliver on your behalf.

Find you are using a lot of agency staff?

Quite often its cheaper to use a courier as you don’t have to train the driver, induct them, or show them how to use your paperwork/trucks/equipment. An Agency driver can cost you as much as £220 (inc VAT) a day, then they don’t get as much done as a regular courier would.

Just because you have a vehicle sitting their doing nothing, it doesn’t mean you are saving money by getting in a temp.

If you are a business based in Basildon, Essex, Kent, Herts or London who wants to make significant savings on their costs, then give us a call now on 0844 884 3331 or 07816 528421
