So I thought I would create a list for you of all the things a same day courier can move for you, to refresh you memory :-)

  1. Sending fencing or trellis by post or courier services.
  2. Moving Servers and IT equipment
  3. Heavy and bulky items from Ebay
  4. Lakeside Essex, store to your door
  5. Moving your shed, gazebo or summer house

Anyone would have you think you can move something yourself, cheaply with a van. In some instances you can. If you are not sure about how to wrap, pack and load the vehicle, give us a call. Our advice costs nothing.

What size van do I need?

April 24, 2009 By

Quite often we get calls from customers asking us “can we have a transit to deliver some boxes?” my immediate question back to them is “what size van do you need?” Often a Transit is the only type of van they know of. Frequently customers will ask for a van that is not suited to their needs its either to big or to small and each scenario brings with it its own sets of problems.

Arrow Light Haulage make a point of finding out weights, sizes and quantity of any shipment that needs moving so we can then accommodate the customers needs efficiently and also so that we don’t waste any space within the vehicle when it is not necessary.

Our expertise in load/vehicle matching will ensure that our customers will have the right size vehicle turn up at their premises and be able to cater for their goods without wasting space or using a van that is far to large for their needs. If you need to move 1 archive box you don’t need to order a Luton sized van that can carry 100′s of archive boxes.

Using Arrow Light Haulage and our knowledge will not only ensure the right vehicle is sent out to you but also that you are charged accordingly for the items that you need to be moved. This normally saves you money.

If you would like any further information on our load/vehicle matching techniques you can either call us  on 0844 884 3331 or email me directly  at kevin@arrowlighthaulage.co.uk with your requirements and I will deal with your query promptly

Top Packing tips part one

May 31, 2008 By

Items to send by parcel carrier or post?

* Choose the size of the packaging according to its content. Overloaded boxes may burst; under-filled boxes are likely to collapse

* Whenever possible use high quality materials for your shipments. Things to consider with your wrapping supplies are strength, cushioning, and of course durability

* If you can choose boxes made with corrugated cardboard, and good quality outer lining. Use heavy-duty double-layered board for your most valuable items.

* Make good use of cushioning materials, these can stop your items from moving.

* Put fragile goods in the centre of a package; ensuring they don’t touch the sides. If your item is well cushioned on all sides it has more chance of arriving in one piece.

* Liquids must be stored in leak-free containers, packed with a lightweight, strong, internal material- Styrofoam is a good choice, and sealed with a plastic bag. Remember that bad packaging may cause damage to surrounding items.

If an item is both fragile and valuable, then consider using a dedicated courier.
