South West Wales based Eezeeduzit Logistics is
reminding businesses of the importance of choosing the right logistics partner,
as Britain gears up to handle an estimated quarter of a billion parcels over
Black Friday and the Christmas period.
Over the festive season last year, at least 12
million parcels went missing, as reported in the Telegraph, while the Mirror
reported on Amazon drivers being forced to deliver 200 parcels a day, while
receiving below a minimum wage and being refused time to take toilet
breaks.
Emma Cooksley-Lewis, Director of Eezeeduzit,
said: “For many businesses, it’s the busiest time of year, and logistics could
make or break you.
"So plan ahead as much as you can - look at
previous year’s trends to give an idea of likely requirements.
“Building relationships with reliable, smaller
logistics companies like Eezeeduzit Logistics can take the hassle away. We work
in partnership with our customers to find out their peaks and troughs to help
them plan their delivery requirements.”
Other advice from Eezeeduzit includes choosing a
logistic partner who can offer flexible services, using tracking for
time-sensitive deliveries and can handle any other special requirements you may
have.
Cooksley-Lewis adds: “Check company reviews, see
whether a company has experience of your particular sector, and plan ahead to
consider things like weekend working and any deliveries needed between
Christmas and New Year. Consider when you are likely to be at your busiest, and
think about the extra resources you may need.”
While many companies find themselves panicking
to get deliveries done in time for Christmas, and leave deliveries until the
last minute, planning ahead avoids these problems.
Finally, it’s also important to check whether
your suppliers have any events coming up which could affect orders or cause
delays.
Covering all of the UK, family-owned Eezeeduzit
has some three decades of industry experience. It aims to cover everything from
simple personal deliveries to complex business-to-business subcontracting. It
adopts a flexible approach and works hard to stay abreast of the latest
technological developments.
With 30 years of experience in logistics, the
company’s timed delivery services include same-day delivery, alongside tracked
package, multi-drops, sub-contracted business-to-business services and advance
delivery bookings.
The company recently invested in a real-time
online Proof of Delivery Service which gives extra peace of mind with parcel
tracking at no extra charge.
