The run-up to Christmas has always been our busiest time of year as we help small businesses get their orders out to customers, as well as individuals to send Christmas gifts to loved ones.
To make sure we’re equipped to handle the extra parcels which will come through our network, we have employed more staff to work in our sortation hub, as well as drivers to deliver your parcels. We strive to keep service levels high throughout this period to maintain our Feefo score of 4.4/5.
