Same Day Courier Services, Essex

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.
