This service is tailored for B2B as well as B2C with tracking notifications sent at various steps of the way via a variety of methods to ensure that the customer is kept informed of the progress.
For our B2C clients, we also offer a reverse logistics package and are able to collect anything from a small package in a courier bag to a large appliance that requires packaging and special handling.
It is always important to pack your consignment properly; with road freight its especially important to be accurate with the size and weight of your package because space can be limited on these vehicles. If your package is bigger or heavier than anticipated, you might experience delays in shipment or increased costs.
When in doubt, use more bubble wrap! Your packaging needs to withstand the transit conditions which can be quite rough despite our best efforts. Fragile and right side up stickers are suggested and can be requested at no additional charge. Use a box or container that can be stacked. The outer packaging should be solid enough with enough inner support, depending on the product that is being couriered.
If an inventory list should accompany the package, it must be attached to the box in a watertight seal or be placed inside.
When in doubt, put more information on the waybill! A concise and accurate waybill will reduce any room for error or misinterpretation along the way, please include as much information, especially addresses info, as possible. You will either be emailed a waybill by us prior to collection, or our driver will bring a blank waybill when they collect. It is important to confirm which method will be used with one of our consultants to avoid delays.
If you receive a waybill prior to collection, please print it out, complete it as far as possible, and hand it to the driver on collection. He will attach it in a watertight seal to the outside of your consignment.
If the driver brings a blank waybill with him during collection, complete it on the spot and give it back to him. He will put it in a watertight seal on the outside of the consignment.
If the packing slip needs to be returned to the sender, this must be clearly marked on the waybill and it can be included in the seal.
