Your Orders' Epic Voyage Through the Parcel Network: Protecting Your Shipments from Start to Finish
27/10/2023
Every business owner knows the feeling of unease when sending out parcels, always worried about potential damages during transit. While it's impossible to eliminate every anomaly, we're here to help you stack the odds in your favour. We'll work with you to make sure your products are equipped with the perfect measurements and safeguards, ensuring they reach your customers in pristine condition for that unforgettable unboxing moment.
Pack It Right, Every Time!
When it comes to packaging, it's all about finding the perfect fit for peace of mind. You'll want a well-fitting box that leaves just enough space for protective cushioning materials, creating a cosy cocoon for your products. But here's the catch: this void-fill doesn't have to harm the environment. There's a world of sustainable options out there, from eco-friendly packing peanuts to shredded boxes. Our goal? To fill every nook and cranny with these eco-saviours, ensuring your products are snug and ready to take on the shocks and vibrations of their journey.
And for those epic international adventures, we often suggest the 'double box' technique because when it comes to your products' safety, we leave nothing to chance.
Signed SEALED delivered – is yours?
Believe it or not, the type of tape you choose can make all the difference. It's the thin line between your contents staying securely within the box and the unfortunate scenario of them being scattered across the back of a courier van. So, choose your tape wisely; it's your first line of defence against parcel mishaps.
Weight Matters, Balance is Key!
When it comes to your parcels, we're not just concerned about what's inside; we're equally focused on how they're handled. We meticulously consider the weight, making sure it's well-distributed to guarantee a smooth and secure handling experience for carriers. It's a simple equation: the better the weight distribution, the easier and safer it is for our carriers to pick up and transport your parcels, ensuring a seamless journey from start to finish.
Choose Wisely: The Impact of Courier Selection
When it comes to selecting a courier, the choice is far from subjective. As your trusted 3PL partner, we recognise the weight of this decision. We keep a watchful eye on the damages and claims associated with each courier in our network. We take proactive steps to address any issues by engaging with their representatives, and if necessary, we're not afraid to pull parcels from their network until the problem is resolved.
Your courier doesn’t just transport your packages; they should be taking special note of any handling instructions included on the box, such as “fragile” or “this way up”.
Tracking Every Step, Recording Every Detail
We maintain meticulous records of every shipment, allowing you to keep a vigilant watch over the entire journey. Together, we can then pinpoint any delays with precision and communicate this information effectively to you, for you to pass on to your customers.
Our records serve as a roadmap to help you navigate any unexpected bumps in the journey, ensuring a smoother and more informed experience for both you and your customers.
Insured Services for High-Value Items
We strongly recommend considering an insured service for any high value goods. It's a strategic move to safeguard your investment and mitigate any potential financial loss in the unlikely event of a mishap within the parcel network. With insurance in place, you can rest assured that your items are not just sent but also protected every step of the way.
