Today Van with Man is Delivering 40 x 20kg boxes for a well-known wholesale business that supplies retail outlets, delivering to 4 destinations. Early start as all deliveries need to be delivered between 9am and 5pm Charged at day rate plus mileage.
First the consignment is carefully loaded and secured in the van. To ensure whatever cargo is being shipped an assessment is carried out and everything is secured before setting off. Van with Man has protective blankets to wrap round any delicate or fragile items as well as cargo straps to ensure the load is fully secure and will not fall during the journey. Consignment bags are also available to contain multiple small bags of belongings together, which also helps peed up loading and unloading at the start and end locations by reducing the number of trips carrying smaller items.
With everything loaded securely we start driving to the first destination in Runcorn shopping city with 7 boxes. Then heading to Wolverhampton Mander centre to deliver 10 boxes before driving to Watford to deliver 14 more boxes. Van with Man then heads to final delivery at Peterborough’s serpentine Green shopping centre with the last 9 boxes.
All deliveries delivered in time without any problems, time for a break before heading home.
Businesses that require a same day delivery service to multiple stops can reduce costs by letting Van and man fulfil the business delivery needs for less than it would costs to maintain vehicles and employ full time driver. Saving even more when compared to a national courier company. TNT quote £1,168.80 and DHL quote £732.96 (online quote on 3/1/21) for this consignment with next day delivery. The increased handling overnight creates more risk of damage to goods.
