Same day delivery is at the core of our logistics offering, and without a doubt it’s a service that many businesses would be lost without. Sometimes there is just no option but to wait for an item to be delivered before the next step in a procedure can be taken, so it’s essential that item is delivered as fast as possible. This can range from critical documents to key manufacturing components, car parts, shop signage….the list is varied and endless.
That being said, there are a definite list of businesses that benefit most from same day delivery services. These include:
Solicitors/lawyers
Legal firms often have a need to have important documentation signed before legal proceedings can continue or be finalised – for example, conveyancing documents need to be signed before a sale can be completed. In order to ensure this process can go through, important documents are sent with a same day, tracked courier service to make sure they arrive as fast as possible, with guaranteed direct delivery and full tracking.
Accountants
Like legal firms, accountants also have certain documents that require signatures before they can be processed or accepted – end of year account records, for example. If it is not possible for this to be done in person, using a courier service can help to simplify the process and ensure the documents are delivered safely, on the same day, for signing.
Recruitment companies
Recruiters also use same day delivery services to send and receive important documents such as job contracts. There will always be a time critical element to transactions such as these, as the individual who has been accepted for the job role will want to start work right away. As such, the courier service needs to be reliable and the delivery needs to be fast – hence the requirements for a same day courier!
Local government
Those working in local government can have very varied job roles and responsibilities from department to department, so the need for same day deliveries services can also be very varied. For example, the housing team may need documents signing and returned, the maintenance team may need new equipment delivering in a quick time frame, or something else entirely.
Garages/mechanics
Garages and mechanics often book our services for taking quick delivery of items such as engines, fuel tanks, wheels or other vehicle related items. Often these items need to be delivered ASAP as the customer is waiting to take receipt of their fixed car, so very time critical.
Retailers/shopfitters
Retailers and shopfitters tend to use same day delivery services for items such as trade signage, shop components, tills, or other bulky and essential items. They don’t always need to be delivered same day, but if the shop is undergoing refurbishment or the signage is urgent, this becomes a critical need.
Online retailers
Online retailers use same day delivery services not only to deliver quickly to their end consumers (the public), but also if they are in the B2B sector, to their customers who will then ship on to the end consumer. An example would be a packaging manufacturer shipping items to a retailer who needs them to ship to their customers. This can be time critical because of the need to make the end customer happy with quick delivery.
