What size van do I need?

Posted on April 24th, 2009 1 Comment

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

Delivering to deadlines – what is an urgent delivery?

Posted on March 6th, 2009 1 Comment

When something is urgent and has to get there to a deadline, the best option is to use a same day courier service but what exactly does that entail?

A same day courier uses a dedicated vehicle to collect your goods and then goes straight to the delivery destination. Now here’s the tricky part, some people say they do same day but actually co load your cargo with another customers cargo. Nothing wrong with that until you have something smash because its fragile and should not be transported with anything else. Oh yes, and you will still pay premium price…

When booking make sure you specify that goods cannot be co-loaded and if they can and they are non urgent, tell that to your courier too. Of course when you book an express or same day courier, you are booking a premium service and the price reflects that level of service and urgency.

Delivering High Value Goods.

Posted on October 9th, 2008 No Comments

As a Same Day Courier company, we are often asked to deliver high value goods. All our items that we collect and deliver, we keep confidential but here are some examples of things we can move, that are high value:-

Fine Wines
Auction items such as antiques
Fine art and portraits
Photographic art
Reels of Film
Rare musical instruments
Fine Jewellery
Designer labelled clothes

Each item we deliver is tailored to it’s needs. Whether it’s careful wrapping in soft felt blankets (to prevent scratching) or strapping securely to prevent breakage.

Our drivers are CRB checked and have training in defensive driving. Each route is planned moments after we collect the item, so no one but the driver knows the jopurney to be travelled, and then we track our vehicles just to be even safer.

Our vans are unliveried, they are just another white van on the road, completing deliveries. Nothing we do, makes us stand out to potential theives and van-jackers.

So, if you are looking for a courier to deliver some that is fragile or precious, please give us a call and we can tailor a quote to your needs – 0844 884 3331

It’s best to give us a call so we can establish exactly what your needs are
