The age old argument – price over experience...

There are some same day courier companies that can help you organise the most challenging and logistically awkward deliveries you can imagine! So to get the best delivery you need the best kind of courier. The best kind of courier has knowledge comes through experience and is invaluable when moving sensitive or awkward or fragile goods. If you buy or sell high value items (such as auction houses) or have a difficult timing schedule a same day courier can add extra expertise that can only come from doing the job and getting it right. An inexperienced courier may cause thousands of pounds worth of damage to your freight or cargo by loading incorrectly or co-loading without prior confirmation, something that experienced couriers just won’t do. Good couriers will pay attention to the details ensuring your goods are loaded correctly, wrapped and strapped where needed and work safely. Your freight arriving safe and sound is a matter of pride to them. A new courier may strap your goods too tightly causing damage that isn’t covered by goods in transit insurance. No amount of wrapping and strapping will protect the cargo if it has been poorly packaged at collection points. Whilst this is essential for both parcel couriers and an inexperienced courier, it’s not essential for an experienced same day courier. A new courier may have the enthusiasm for the most challenging of deliveries, but it’s the experience that will get it to your door in one piece. It’s not cost effective or green to continually deliver the same items over and over to a customer because your courier does not take the time to listen to what you have to say and is sloppy in their work. In fact what starts out as cheap quickly becomes expensive, the price you pay for someone else’s inexperience. There is an art to delivering the goods and like all art, it takes time to learn. A new courier will only learn by becoming organised and completing these style of jobs, but is it your job to train that courier? We think not. Sarah Same day couriers and awkward deliveries

When deliveries go wrong we still deliver the most precious things

Wednesday was a difficult day for our same day courier and delivery business. It started off very well, two contracts were due to start and we were prepping our drivers with the new requirements. Two of our biggest ad hoc / express delivery customers were booking in jobs and we had all four of the fleet out, on the road. At midday just before the new contracts were about to start our daughter collapsed, in a heap on the floor. We were stunned, she had been a bit quiet but no other indication that she was unwell. It was surprising how fast the ‘emergency’ action plan (which up until now had just been spoken about) kicked in. Sarah took our most precious delivery to the hospital and I organised the afternoon remotely, using the phone and mobile internet. I could be right at their side whilst still keeping my finger on the pulse, thanks to the systems being in place. Our new and existing customers are very happy – it was excellent service as usual. Our precious package was fine – she has flu and not meningitis as Sarah was convinced. I was relieved, how do you know your emergency systems will work? no amount of dry runs can prepare you for the moment they have to be implemented. I spoke to one of the new customers that day and she was laughing that I had been sitting all day in the garden getting a sun tan… I didn’t disillusion her and say where I actually was – it was business as usual, for all of our team.

Arrow Light Haulage Sponsor another offline Networking Event

After the recent successes of our first two offline networking events we have decided to do something a bit different this time. We are going to sponsor with a group of other companies a business networking barbeque in Lakeside West Thurrock. What happens is local business people come along, meet up, chat, listen to two great speakers, sample our South African barbeque (it's authentic) and make good business connections. Our speakers are Alan Stevens aka the Media Coach and Baiju Solanki, local business man and performance coach. There are still some exhibiting spaces left, if the local business community is the community you would like to do business with, then by all means come along. Come along just for the barbeque... If you would like to try offline business networking or are part of a network and would like to be involved take a look at the event page, all our contact details are there. Business Scene events are multi network events and we welcome other organisations within the community who would like to become partners. http://www.Business-scene.com/lakeside
