10 Reasons to use a same day courier

In recent years we have noticed that companies are faced with smaller and smaller deadlines, so naturally the demand for same day delivery has been on the rise. Here at Fastlane, we understand that you might still be unsure about the reasons to use a same day courier so we’ve put together a list why!

#1 Speed – Sameday Not Someday!

We understand that this an obvious one so we will keep it short and sweet but the point still stands.  We guarantee to collect within a maximum of 60 minutes from any mainland UK location and our drivers always take the fastest practical route direct from collection to delivery. 

#2 Flexibility

We want you to stay in control of your goods throughout the whole delivery process. That means you can add to, or even change the load before we collect.

You can change the delivery addresses, add extra drops, or even change the delivery time once the goods are in transit. Even when delivered, you can still arrange customer returns for no more than 50% of the outgoing cost.

#3 No surcharges

We do not add any extra for ‘out of hours’ periods such as evenings, weekends or bank holidays. Your goods will be the only goods on board, thanks to this we can avoid surcharges for the size or weight of your consignment as well. 

#4 Guaranteed Availability 

You will always have access to the right vehicle for the job no matter what. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year so no matter when you need us you can have peace of mind that Fastlane are here for you.

#5 Helps With Customer Opinion

#6 Saves Money

If you don’t deal with a lot of time-critical deliveries it can end up costing you a small fortune in the long term, you have to consider things such as; vehicle insurance, payroll, maintenance & more. Having a reliable courier like Fastlane means you can only pay for transport as and when needed allowing you to focus on maximising profit elsewhere in your business.

#7 Safety 

Your goods will be the only consignment on the vehicle from start to finish. This provides the safest and most secure method of shipping any fragile, sensitive or high-value goods.

By eliminating the use of multiple vehicles, drivers and regional hubs we can minimise any risk of loss, damage or delay. In addition to this, we also provide £20k goods in transit insurance as standard.

#8 Tracking

We want you to be at ease during the delivery process, this is why all of our drivers are trackable through our head office at any time. Our traffic controllers will also keep you updated on any traffic issues or unavoidable delays throughout the entire journey. 

#9 Emergencies 

When those unexpected delays push you back but there is a deadline to meet an emergency same day courier service is always good to have around, we can ensure that your package will arrive on time keeping your important customers happy.

#10 It’s easy
