So what exactly do we mean by courier services? We use the term a lot on our website and we thought it best to explain it.
It's a generic term which covers all number of delivery companies and their activities.
Couriers have been around since almost the beginning of time. They take items from point A to point B, for an agreed price.
The subtle difference with us, is that our courier services are based on the delivery auction concept. In short, we act as the catalyst, the middle man that puts the person who needs something moving from A to B, together with the transport company that can do the moving, and, usually, do it as a return, or part load.
The problem with modern day transport, is that for every loaded shifted from A to B, the van, or lorry being used, is rarely full to its legal maximum limit. And usually its empty on the return trip.
The great thing about our delivery auction website is that we strive to fill that empty space, because all the 'air' that's being carried around the country is a waste of fuel and a waste of carbon emissions. If we can stop the waste of such precious commodities, then we will have done our job.
And not only is it a better deal for the environment, it's also a better deal for the customer, as often the job quoted on our delivery auction website, can amount to an incredible discount of up to 85% if the job had been originally quoted by a traditional courier.
So our delivery auction website offers a win-win situation and it is one which is becoming increasingly popular. It's especially important with people who need to regularly transport goods, or who often buy and sell on sites like eBay, and need a cheap and effective courier service, but don't want to pay full transport charges.
That's what we mean by courier services - a great way to move goods around at a fraction of the normal cost. Everyone is a winner.
