One of your customers orders goods from you and insists on next-morning delivery. At first sight, it may seem difficult to respond to his request. To satisfy your customer, the solution is to find an express carrier who will deliver the products on time.
What is express delivery? Why do you need it? What express delivery services does PHM Group offer?
What is express delivery?
Express transport is a fast, easy-to-use delivery service. Where delivery times for standard courier services are between 24 and 72 hours, for express services they are less than 24 hours. This means that the carrier must make the journey within half a day or within a few hours of the order being placed.
To be considered express, a shipment must meet the following conditions:
- Pick-up and delivery to a precise point, with no load interruption
- Fast delivery times, known in advance
- Real-time tracking of goods
- Rapid generation of shipping documents
- Cargo volume of less than 3 tonnes
Why do you need express transport?
Express transport is useful for delivering products or documents to customers or other partners on time. By using an express carrier, you benefit from several advantages:
- Speed: consumers and businesses want ever shorter delivery times. This trend can be explained by the development of e-commerce. To stay competitive and retain your customers and partners, it's crucial to deliver fast.
- Reliability: express carriers are used to handling urgent deliveries. They are equipped to deal with the unexpected, such as traffic jams, adverse weather conditions or delays.
- Safety: express carriers must comply with strict safety standards. In particular, they ensure continuous traceability of goods during transport to prevent theft, loss and damage.
