Glad I wasnt at the back of the queue

The rain mostly managed to hold off today and the small courier van headed off for a delivery down to Hammersmith in London, despite being on four wheels this should have been easily achievable within 90 minutes during the day, that is before the elderly driver decided to jack knife his caravan just north of Junct 12 on the M1, luckily he didnt appear to be hurt and we were fortunate enough to only be withina half mile of the front of it and quickly back on schedule. Various jobs throughout the day from regular customers keep our courier bikes busy with only one very urgent rush to a property agent in Essex. As many of our exsisting customers are confident of our high levels of service they have taken to requesting larger vehicles such as Mercedes Sprinters that we dont normally use, as we have a select group of couriers that we work closely with, we are able after a few phone calls to provide this type of vehicle, one of which headed of down to a London Hotel this evening with exhibition boards for an AGM.

We often get enquiries from people requiring their new motorcycle collected from the point of purchase to its new home and today was no different. This is something that should only be undertaken by specialist Motorcycle movers not least for the reasons of insurance cover, standard goods in transit insurance does not cover the movement of vehicles. Many general couriers do often get involved in this sort of work indifferent to this fact nor informing their customers of this.
It is common for people to post their motorcycle movement requirements on certain sites which encourage service providers to enter ever decreasing bids to cover this work, this gets into dangerous territory as when the bidding becomes uneconmically viable to deliver your motorcycle, these providers with the lowest bids then have to scour these sites to fit other items into the run, essentially the lower the bid the longer you can expect it to take your motorcycle to get to you, with many motorcycles costing thousands of pounds it seems foolhardy you would allow someone with little or no experience (& possibly insurance) of handling motorcycles.
 These are the reasons why we would recommend using specialist motorcycle transportation one such transporter is Alpact Couriers, we would highly recommend anyone requiring this service to visit Here for more information.
