Couriers

Parcel couriers are the most effective way of getting low value items delivered. However the parcel courier doesn't always work for your products. If you have an item that is

• Oversize
• Overweight
• Fragile
• Flammable
• Edible
• Awkward
• High Value

Then the chances are you will have a damaged package, worse still if you read the small print from your booking confirmation you will find you are not insured as the items listed above are generally not covered by the parcel company. That may be fine if you are sending low value, robust items but not when you are sending valuable or fragile goods.

If I told you the answer was simple, you really wouldn't believe me but it is. The secret to unbroken deliveries is to choose the right courier service for your job. See, I told you it was simple.
Not all couriers deliver the same thing, so when you search for your courier you need to ask them

• what they are covered for,
• the size of their vehicles,
• can they carry the items that you require delivering

A lot of people think that finding a courier is as simple as picking up the yellow pages and calling the first one they find. whilst that works for the ordinary run of the mill, every day items. It doesn't work for glass, ceramics or antiques. Each package is different, and what one courier can take, another type can't.
The matters when your deliveries get broken
As well as choosing the right kind of Uk courier for your deliveries, it's essential that you package your items correctly and in the right manner. Poor packaging exasperates your customers and is a poor visual experience of the delivery, they expect the item to be broken when they unwrap it.
