One of the problems you can find with moving technical equipment is that it doesn’t always fit in the back of a car. Because it is not every day of the year you can be faced with this challenge, it is easy to be left wondering what the alternative is when you need help.
So, what is the most likely situation where you might need the help of a technical courier service?
Replacement / upgrading of existing technical equipment
One of the problems with advancements in modern technology is that it doesn’t take long before equipment becomes outdated or needs upgrading. The questions that immediately spring to mind are: “How do I get my technical equipment moved”, “Does anybody remove old technical equipment when delivering new equipment?”, “Who can I get to deliver my new technical equipment?” and “Does anybody do collect and return for technical equipment?”. The simple answer to those questions is to contact Distribusha, a family-run, well-established and highly reputable courier company who specialises in providing bespoke services for non-standard items, as is often the case with technical equipment.
Why use a technical courier to deliver my equipment?
There are several very valid reasons why you should choose a courier with experience in delivering technical equipment, with the most relevant being the word ‘experience’.
- There is no substitute for experience with a technical courier – This phrase applies to so many instances in life, and the reason why is because it is so close to the truth. Delivering technical equipment isn’t simply a case of throwing it in the back of a van and dropping it off at the given destination. No. To be a successful local technical equipment courier means that first off, you have to know all the characteristics of the equipment you are transporting. You need to understand where extra care needs to be taken not just in the transport, but the unpacking and installation. In addition, a lot of high-end equipment requires experienced individuals to ensure that it is located in a suitable environment and where appropriate, fully operational prior to departure.
- Old technical equipment may need removing – Here is a stumbling block for many, and that is knowing what to do with your old equipment if it has no second-hand value or, if you have sold it and may be short on space. How do you arrange for it to be delivered to the new owner immediately after it has been removed and your new equipment installed? Here at Distribusha, with a little careful forward planning, we can not only remove the existing equipment and install the new equipment, but we can take the old equipment away with is. Now that can involve delivery to a new owner or, in many cases, we take the old equipment to a registered recycling depot. For those companies which strictly adhere to eco-friendly practices, we can even arrange to have a recycling confirmation certificate sent to you from the recycling company.
- Sometimes you need a white glove technical equipment courier service – If you have not come across the term before, a ‘white glove courier service’ is a premium, specialised logistics option focused on extreme care, security, and professional handling of high-value, fragile, or heavy items. Unlike standard courier services, where Distribusha is concerned, it includes an end-to-end service, usually involving inside delivery to a room of choice, unpacking, assembly and installation of the technical equipment, followed by the removal of all packing materials which will be taken away for recycling (something we are very keen on). Our aim with all our courier services, but especially with out white glove courier service, is for there to be no sign of our having been at the delivery location when we have left.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to technical courier delivery services
As you have perhaps gathered, we understand that the field of technical equipment means that there are so, so many different products that can require a delivery service. Some are very bulky, some very heavy, some highly sensitive and fragile, some that require a bit of technical know-how to ensure they are correctly installed. In other words, rarely are two technical equipment deliveries the same, and that is where at Distribusha we score heavily. How? Because we are set up to offer what we refer to as bespoke courier services, with emphasis on the word bespoke.
Your next step to finding your best technical courier service option
It is very easy to second-guess a courier and assume that because you may not want to use their services on a weekly basis, they may not want to hear from you, especially if the technical equipment you want delivered is going to be a bit of a challenge. Please don’t make that mistake with Distribusha. We recognise that for some manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of technical equipment, demand can be sporadic, especially for highly specialised equipment. We like to build up relationships with our clients where you know we are here for you whenever you need us, and we love establishing long-term relationships that may not involve deliveries every week, but over the year we can both prove it can be a worthwhile connection.
