I need a same day courier….How much?

This is often the opening line of many phone calls for quotes.

Well, we need a bit more information than that. We need to know the weight of the item and it’s dimensions, that’s so we can send the right vehicle for you. We also need to know if we are legally allowed to carry the items in question.

The next bit of the quote usually results in a sharp intake of breath. Today, I was quoting for something to go nearly 380 miles, and the stunned “why so much?…” was barely breathed by the customer.

Why so much?

Because you are booking a dedicated vehicle, it’s the safest way to get your good to their destination. There is no transhipping, co-loading or any other mucking about, your item is collected and delivered, the same day. That makes it an Express or Premium  courier or delivery service. It gets there on time, and in one piece. It’s the perfect service for valuable items, antiques and fragile goods.

If you want it cheaper, don’t leave it to the last minute. If you want it there in one piece, don’t leave it to anyone else.
