3 Benefits of Using Specialized Technical Couriers for High-Value Equipment

It is remarkable how many people still think that couriers just deliver parcels, packages and letters. It is very popular misconception and one we are keen to put straight as many businesses are missing out on excellent opportunities to expand their business. Our first point makes this clear. 

Expanding your technical after-sales services 

If you have a business selling high-value equipment, chances are you have competition and while profit margins on sales may be high, volume of sales may not allow you the ‘luxury’ of having a delivery van and a member of staff (or two) to deliver and install such equipment. It makes no financial sense whatsoever to pay £60,000 a year to run a tail-lift delivery van and two trained technicians if that eats away at half your profit. So, what is the solution?  

The answer is a technical courier. Here at Distribusha we are able to provide you with a whole raft of technical logistic solutions that will enable you to maximise your profits, while also attracting and retaining customers. Imagine how much more likely a local business is going to buy your high-value equipment if it can both be delivered and as important, installed by skilled technical couriers who are highly experienced both in the installation of equipment, and also ‘smooth talking’ clients to ensure they are given the very best in personal service. As a would-be client, surely I would be more likely to buy equipment from you, even if it was slightly more expensive than a competitor, if it was going to be delivered, installed with after-sales service a clincher, knowledge that if anything went wrong with the equipment and either a new unit was required or a part replaced, there was a rapid fix? 

Technical courier expertise in handling sensitive equipment 

Second, you should know that a technical courier doesn’t just collect and deliver high-value equipment. In fact, the technical courier’s work begins the moment they turn up to collect the equipment to be delivered. At Distribusha, we pride ourselves on taking the utmost care of all technical items from the moment they are consigned to us. Our technical couriers are highly experienced in ways of handling sensitive and valuable equipment, guaranteeing that it arrives at the consignee in exactly the same condition it leaves your premises. Beyond that, we will unwrap and install the equipment (if required) and remove all packing for recycling. Better still. If we are delivering or replacing an obsolete piece of equipment, we are happy to ensure that it is also taken for recycling – we have a very strong ethic where recycling and sustainability are concerned. 

On time, safe and secure delivery using technical couriers 

At Distribusha we have a very simple work ethic. If we can provide a service that helps you to retain clients and grow your business, then hopefully we can grow with you. So far, that philosophy has done us proud, and we are now able to provide technical courier services throughout the UK, while still remaining an independent company where if you want to speak to the boss, you will be able to. Our technical couriers know that for many businesses, time is money and that if we are scheduled to deliver technical equipment by a specific time, we cannot afford to be late. More to the point, if the delivery is over a long distance, our couriers may need to make a stop or two. Bearing in mind the value of much of today’s technical equipment, we also pay particular attention to security, ensuring that or trucks and wagons are fully secure when not attended. 

To sum up, our technical couriers can more than enhance the services your company provides your customers, without you having to invest additional working capital that could be put to better use.
