The Client
Our client is a leading UK-wide supplier of garden items, including fencing, landscaping items, and garden furniture including dining sets, parasols, and pergolas.
Specialising in the supply of outdoor living items, our client offers a comprehensive range of outdoor furniture in a variety of materials, including metal dining sets, rattan furniture, and wooden fencing and decking.
In addition to supplying garden items, they also specialise in horticulture items, supplying their expertly grown plants, trees, flowers, and shrubs to a range of clients.
The Consignment
Our client contacted our Speedy Freight London team located in the heart of London with some same day London courier requests to deliver garden furniture.
As a supplier of an incredibly varied range of items for lawns, patios, and decks, they needed a flexible courier service capable of handling their range of consignments.
Some of the items we have delivered for our client include:
-
Iron and metal garden furniture sets
-
Outdoor rattan and wicker furniture sets
-
Barbecues and other outdoor kitchen items
-
Parasols and pergolas
-
Plants, trees, and flowers
-
Decking and landscaping materials
With our flexibility and range of services, we always have the right transport solution for our clients operating within the home and garden sectors.
The Solution
When the weather starts to rise in the UK, our client quickly reaches their peak in demand.
Starting in early spring, visits and orders from their customers quickly rise and need to be dealt with quickly and efficiently, so that their clients can get their items in time to use and enjoy for the spring and summer.
While they operate their own fleet and deliver to a range of post codes in the London area, they found themselves not being able to keep up with demand and needed additional logistical support to manage the increase in deliveries as they approach peak season.
As they only deliver to customers inside of their own defined limited delivery range, this limited their potential customer base, as many of their customers did not have the capacity to take their purchases with them, due to their size and weight.
By partnering with Speedy Freight, they were able to outsource some of their deliveries, which enabled them to keep up with demand. Our same day pick-up and delivery service allowed us to deliver to clients quickly, which helped them meet customer expectations and increase overall customer satisfaction, which reflects positively on their brand.
For the bulkier and heavier deliveries, such as iron garden furniture sets, our two-man delivery crews were able to swiftly handle everything from pick-up to drop-off.
While most of their deliveries were booked ahead of time, with our multi-drop delivery service, they also utilised our same day delivery courier service when an urgent delivery came their way.
Our client is thrilled with the services we have provided for them, always successfully delivering to their clients when needed. As our clients only ever pay one way, our services have proved to be a cost-effective solution to our client to deal with increased deliveries during their peak season.
