Why Use A Motorcycle Courier?

Why Use A Motorcycle Courier?

By on Mar 30, 2021 in Our Blog |

Many people are sceptical about the use of motorcycles when it comes to transporting their important documents or goods. However, there are a number of reasons why we might encourage you to use a motorcycle courier over your standard car or van, providing the size of your goods is within reason. Time Efficient Here at Compass Couriers, we offer a same-day delivery service for your goods and documents. Our fleet of motorcycle couriers is a vital part of ensuring that we can offer this service. While they cannot go any faster on the roads than our other vehicles, they are only able to transport smaller goods, meaning that they will be more likely to be on hand to get to you quicker than alternatives.Motorcycles have a great benefit in traffic too. The size of them allows them to legally filter through traffic. This means that should we be transporting your goods during rush hour, they can still filter through, and reduce the time that the delivery will take. Reducing Costs Many of you will already be aware that a motorcycle will use significantly less fuel, meaning that opting for a motorcycle courier can be considerably cheaper, when you are only transporting smaller items or documents. Single Handler Each of our courier services, including our motorcycle couriers, boasts a single handler. This means that only one person will handle your goods or documents from collection to delivery. Unlike a standard postal service, this reduces the room for error and losses across our entire service. What Can Be Transported? The capacity that a motorcycle can transport is somewhat limited by the size and weight of the items. This means that while they are a great source of transportation there are a number of restrictions.Ideal goods for motorcycle couriers include paper documents, such as important documents that need urgent physical transfer rather than electronic transfer including forgotten passport transport. Computer media can also be transported via motorcycle, such as hard drives and compact drives.Jewellery is also a viable item for transport on a motorcycle and will be insured up to £20,000.

What Can I Use A Courier For?

What Can I Use A Courier For?

By on Mar 10, 2021 in Our Blog |

When it comes to using the general post to transport documents and goods across the UK, we have to consider the expense of posting without the guaranteed time frames that can be provided by private courier companies. Important Documents When it comes to using the standard postal service for important documents, while they do have a 24 hour signed for option, you are still running the risk of these items being delayed or misplaced. However, when you opt to have these documents transported via private courier they are taken from your door (or nominated collection point) and delivered to their destination at the hands of one individual courier. For the likes of such documents, we have a fantastic motorcycle courier service which is ideal for smaller items and documents. Refrigerated Goods There are a number of goods that require refrigerated courier services. From food goods, to a number of our health care partnerships. When it comes to moving goods that are required to remain at a lower temperature, our personalised service can help to keep your mind at ease that your goods will be delivered as they leave the collection point. High Ticket Items Each of our services ensures that your goods are insured up to £20,000, meaning that our couriers are well versed in transporting high ticket items. This has included artwork, jewellery, machinery, fragile goods and medical goods. These items are usually those that you would not trust with a standard postal service. Large Items When it comes to transporting either larger items or high quantity items using a standard service can become expensive. However, here at Compass Couriers, we don’t charge you the earth to transport your larger items around the UK. We even offer a 7.5-tonne lorry on our 24-hour courier service. Ensuring your goods get to their final destination in a timely manner, no matter how big they are.
