The Client
Our client is a woman named Kathryn facing a time-sensitive predicament.
The Consignment
Five-hours into her drive through heavy traffic from Leicester to Devon, Kathryn made a shocking discovery—she had forgotten to pack the dress she needed for a wedding scheduled for 11 am the following day. It was already 7:30 pm on a Friday evening, leaving Kathryn and her partner with a challenging decision.
Their options were limited: either drive back to Leicester for another five-hour journey and then through the night back to Devon or find an alternative solution. In the face of this urgent crisis, Kathryn had to act quickly.
The Challenges
This time-sensitive situation presented two key challenges:
- Urgent Timing: The dress needed to be delivered as quickly as possible to ensure Kathryn could attend the wedding on time.
- Late Evening: The late hour further complicated matters. Finding a delivery service that operated beyond regular business hours was no small feat.
Kathryn's saving grace was the discovery of Speedy Freight Leicester through an online search for a same day courier operating 24/7 in Leicester. She reached out to us, and Magda from our Leicester team quickly responded to her urgent delivery requirement, setting the wheels in motion.
Our dedicated team sprang into action, coordinating a pickup that very night to guarantee the safe delivery of the dress. The dress was dispatched in a small van, utilising our dedicated same day delivery service. Within just one hour of Kathryn's initial call, our driver collected the dress from her home in Leicestershire and embarked on the journey to deliver it. As we always offer a dedicated service, this meant that Kathryn’s dress was the only consignment on the delivery vehicle, assuring the safety of the garment and the quickest delivery possible.
Throughout the consignment's journey, Magda from our Leicester team remained in constant communication with Kathryn, providing her with reassurance and timely updates throughout the night.
The Conclusion
Our driver delivered the dress to Kathryn's hotel in Devon at 2 am. This allowed her to attend the wedding as planned and spared her any additional morning-of-event stress.
The following morning, our team also followed up with a courtesy call to confirm if everything had gone smoothly and if the dress arrived in good condition. Kathryn's response was effusive with praise for our service, particularly highlighting our quick-thinking and swift actions.
Kathryn shared her experience by leaving a glowing 5-star review:
"Speedy Freight Leicester (and specifically an amazing person called Magda) saved my life last weekend. Having driven 5 hours through traffic from Leicestershire to Devon, I suddenly realised we had forgotten to pack the dress I needed to wear to a wedding the next morning. It was 7.30 pm on a Friday night. We were to appear at 11 am the next morning. My partner suggested driving 5 hours back to Leicester and then back 5 hours to Devon. I prayed there was another way! By miracle I found Speedy Freight Leicester on-line and not only did Magda answer the phone on the first ring (at 7.30 pm) but she was in contact with me throughout the night as we sorted out a driver and got him on the road.
By the way, that driver was at my Leicestershire home to collect the dress within ONE HOUR of my call and he then delivered it to my hotel in Devon at 2 am. My last email from Magda was around midnight, suggesting all would be well, and it was. The next morning the hotel handed over the dress and we went to the wedding as planned. I was frankly shocked at the ‘proper’ customer service - it is so rare these days. I have recommended this company to everyone I know as a model of how a business should be run! Thank you, Magda, and thank you Speedy Freight Leicester—you really did save us, and I cannot compliment you enough."
Kathryn's heartfelt gratitude and testimonial serve as a testament to the dedication, responsiveness, and reliability of our Speedy Freight Leicester team.
