When it comes to transport solutions it may be tempting to distribute your consignments with a cheap overnight courier but the difference in the level of service compared to a dedicated same day courier like Fastlane may be rather shocking.
An overnight courier does what it says on the tin, it’s a service that will collect during the day at a specific time and travel overnight to a local hub near to your packages final destination. To make a service like this possible your package will travel on various vehicles stopping at several delivery hubs along the way, ultimately this increases the number of people handling your package increasing the chances of damage or resulting in your package going missing.
On the delivery day, your parcel will be given pre-assigned timed delivery route along with 50-100 other parcels, this would be delivered at some point in the working hours of the day, but not a minute before or after.
