UK Pallets launches new European distribution service
Business Post Group’s palletised freight operation, UK Pallets, is launching a new European service following a deal with global logistics services provider Dachser.
Under the agreement, more than 70 UK Pallets members will now have easy and cost-effective access to Dachser’s extensive pan-European distribution network.
A number of new features have been created to support the service, including an easy-to-use online quotation system and pallet-based tariff structure that offers simplified and improved rates.
This streamlined solution will offer substantial savings of up to 15 pct compared with previous ad-hoc export services.
UK Pallets will consolidate daily shipments at its national hub in Lichfield for onward connection into Dachser’s nightly departures to Europe, ensuring fast and reliable door-to-door transit times. Each consignment will be bar-coded and tracked throughout the journey to provide online status information and proof of delivery.
Dachser has been a member of UK Pallets since 2001, with the UK distribution network handling all incoming nationwide deliveries from mainland Europe outside of the Northampton area. The new service is designed to improve accessibility and enhance the service offer for UK Pallets’ members.
