The true cost of NOT using a same-day courier

We recently had an enlightening conversation that perfectly illustrates why same-day courier services can save your business both time and money.

A friend recounted how his wife’s business sent their Facilities Manager from Warrington to Reading and back for an urgent heating system part. This trip, clocking in at nearly 7 hours without considering traffic or rest breaks, resulted in significant downtime and unnecessary costs.

The Hidden Costs of DIY Deliveries

When you send staff on the road for deliveries, you’re not just covering fuel and tolls. Consider the following:

  • Time: Hours spent on the road mean valuable work time lost.
  • Productivity: The employee could be handling more critical tasks.
  • Expenses: Fuel, potential overtime pay, and vehicle wear and tear add up quickly.
  • Stress: Navigating traffic and long drives can be exhausting and demotivating.

The Courier Advantage

Contrast this with using a same-day courier service like Today Team:

  • Speed: We can collect within 40 to 60 minutes and provide real-time updates.
  • Efficiency: Your staff remain productive while we handle the delivery.
  • Cost-Effective: Our services often end up being more economical when you factor in all the hidden costs of DIY deliveries.
  • Convenience: Enjoy peace of mind knowing the delivery is handled professionally, freeing you to focus on your core business.

Heading back to the example at the start,  a quick call to Today Team could have meant the part was collected and delivered promptly, allowing the Facilities Manager to stay productive. Instead of wasting a day on the road, the urgent task could have been handled smoothly, with everyone enjoying a well-deserved Friday afternoon pint.

“We had an urgent need for a same day courier service to pick up a package from Kent and bring it to Slough. The Today Team had the best price I could find and they picked up the parcel in only just over an hour after I booked them. The customer service team were so helpful and very lovely. We will be using them again in the future for sure. Highly recommended.”

“We’ve stayed loyal to Today Team for years now because they get the job done, it’s a great no fuss service. I have enough to deal with managing my client’s expectations and making sure production runs smoothly without worrying about the transport side of things. They have overcome every challenge I have thrown at them, including a project delivering hundreds of posters across the UK with little to no notice”

“These guys are a pleasure to work with and are absolute life savers! Had to get a package to Preston today, informed them and within 30 minutes of sending an order, they had someone here to collect. Once again they have proven their commitment to the customer and shown their standards of service are sky high!”

“Our experience could not have been better! An important piece of equipment had failed that needed to be repaired, I called through at 15:00 it was collected within the hour and delivered to the manufactures next morning, we were kept up dated all the way through the process.”
