deliveries / couriers

[harvey b davison]

Hi, at the moment i am setting up my new website selling log stores / gates / etc. But i am having trouble sourcing a reliable courier to provide a delivery service for my products, due to them not being a standard pallet size. This is my first foray into websites and product advertising and so on, so i really dont want to mess it up.

 

Who do you all use, or is there an alternative way of doing things. I have thought about restricting my sales to a radius of say 40 miles, and doing the deliveries myself, but thats seems as tho i would be missing out on potential customers.

 

Any help or ideas are much appreciated.

Gives you quotes for a few couriers. Good prices too.

You need to work to see if you can get the majority of your inventory onto a standard pallet size. That is going to give you the most competitive pricing. For oversize stuff, have a look here - Big Parcels - masterslogistics

Night freight take big stuff. City link also take up to 100kg in one box.

One of the best courier services I ever used (on a regular basis) was a company called CCL, based up in Ayrshire. They've got accounts with pretty much every courier/pallet carriers and act like a broker.

They'd be worth a call at the very least. If he's still there, Declan is the best one to speak to.
