Home pick-ups and online bookings
Booking your parcel collection online makes life much
easier, especially during the Christmas period. Not only does it offer a
convenient, time-saving alternative to your local post office, but you will
also pay less.
Many independent re-sellers or courier agents in the UK
resell the rates and services of big carriers such as DHL, UPS or TNT. In
exchange, for high shipping volumes, the re-sellers receive discounts of up to
70% which they then forward to their customers.
Christmas collection and delivery times
Just like anyone else, courier companies also temporarily
close their operations over Christmas. For this reason, you should make sure to
check the Collection and Delivery Times Schedules of DHL, UPS and TNT.
Sending large or bulky Christmas presents
If you opt in for a larger present which may weigh a little
bit more, or is particularly bulky in size, there are several services which
may make a good fit.
Standard services are usually restricted to 70kg per consignment.
If you want to avoid surcharges, sending your parcels by air or sea freight is
often a better solution.
Air freight services come in particularly handy if speed of delivery
is your priority. You can get an instant, free quote for air and sea freight
services on TransglobalExpress.co.uk/Air-Freight.
Express, domestic and international deliveries
Whether you would like to sent a parcel from London to
Edinburgh, or all the way to New York City, express courier services will get
it there via the quickest way possible.
You should always bare in mind that these
services may cost more than their standard mail equivalents.
When unloading courier vehicles or giant freighters, your parcels
will be given priority. Many courier companies offer a range of Express Services for domestic and international deliveries.
Packaging your parcels
Did you know that it is not enough to wrap your Christmas
parcels and send them in the post? Sufficient packaging is vital if you want to
avoid damages to your presents. For tips about how to best package your parcel,
