Will you be one of those people who are frantically chasing parcels as Christmas draws nearer or will you be sitting snug in the knowledge that all your work deliveries are safely where they should be?

Here are a few tips to get you through the next few weeks unscathed:

Plan ahead – it sounds obvious but time speeds up when you are busy, days come and go and people often call in a panic because they simply hadn’t realised how close to Christmas it was!

• Wrap your consignments well – they will be jostling for position en route with lots of other consignments so need to be well protected. Be over cautious, use bubble wrap or jiffy bags, and add an extra layer of protection just to be on the safe side.
• Label your parcel clearly and accurately – It helps to use more than one label, typed preferably, if your package is big – the quicker we can see the delivery address the better.
• Add your sender details to the consignment in case there is a query so we can make contact quickly and easily.
• If you have a fragile parcel, or a large one, it’s best to send it on a dedicated, tracked vehicle to be sure it arrives intact and on time. It’s great for peace of mind.
• Take out insurance for precious or easily breakable items. It’s not worth the risk to not have the cover should you need it.
• Keep our number close to hand – 0117 952 1111 – so should you need a fast response from a same day dedicated courier, you know who to call.

With our ever expanding fleet of vehicles, including no less than 3 new curtain siders in 2015, we have increased capacity to cope with the Christmas rush, so do call, we’ll be happy to help.

One last tip for you: don’t put off ‘til tomorrow those deliveries you can send today! And we hope you enjoy a hassle-free, panic free Christmas!
