What Makes Distribusha the Best Courier for Fragile Items?   

Ever had a package arrive in a very battered box and wondered how on earth the contents weren’t in a thousand pieces? Worse still, ever had a package arrive with ‘Fragile’ stamped on the outside and clearly the delivery company chose to ignore that fact.  

Some companies are better than others as a courier for fragile items   

 Here at Distribusha, we get it, and we understand the problem. Inexperienced couriers, drivers, delivery persons, call them what you may, are given too many parcels to deliver in too short a time, and corners get cut at every point in the shipment and delivery process. To be honest, we feel bad for the delivery drivers as often a parcel is damaged even before they have a chance to load it onto their van, but as the only ‘visible’ part of the ‘supply chain’, they become the only person you can complain about, or to. However, it is not our intention to ‘criticise the ‘competition’, as that is unprofessional, but that doesn’t mean we can’t point out where some systems are better than others when it comes to choosing a courier service for fragile goods.  

Why do you need a specialized courier for fragile items?  

This is an important question to ask, and there is no definitive answer as each an every one of you may well have different needs, even if the end goal is identical. What you require is for a fragile, and likely costly item or items to be collected and delivered to the recipient in one piece. That doesn’t sound complicated, but as a specialist in delivering fragile items, we would like to make you aware of one or two things where Distribusha is concerned.  

Best courier for fragile items: What makes Distribusha stand out?  

Our drivers/couriers are highly experienced operatives who have all bought in to the Distribusha ethos that everyone in the company is responsible for its success, and that the best way to ensure the company’s success is to provide the very best and most reliable of services.   

Expert Handling – When it comes to transporting fragile goods, the very first thing we check before we load the item or items into the van is that they have been packaged correctly so they cannot become damaged, accidentally, when in transit.   

Specialised Vehicles – We will have checked in advance as to the size of the goods and their weight, so we know if a pallet truck and van with a tail lift will be required, as both of these will minimise any risk of damaging goods when loading them into a van, or when unloading them at the other end.  

It is important to understand that we also don’t load multiple deliveries onto the one wagon in order to cut corners and costs. If we have more than one consignment on the vehicle, it will be securely stored, as will your own goods, so that they cannot cause any damage to each other. What we will never do is overload our vans!  

Finally, there is no guarantee that other road users will drive safely. So, we are aware that road traffic accidents do happen. As a consequence, we always ensure that whatever we are transporting for you, it is fully insured, and that will include any consequential losses to the company expecting your goods.
