A new customer asked us this week how we could charge him the same cheap rate for one pallet to Motherwell as we could for multiple pallets to closer locations such as Bolton or Neston. This is all down to consolidation. Your pallet or pallets help make up a full truckload to each location along with other pallets from several customers, this gives all customers the lower rate no matter which Aldi/Lidl distribution center located in the UK you are delivering to.
This is one of several advantages to using us over a pallet network, even on Specials such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, or Christmas. Other advantages are listed below.
- We consolidate for many different customers
- We book our own slots and advise supermarkets of what is on the trailer
- We wait until we are tipped (no extra charges to the customer)
- Our costs are considerably cheaper and more efficient than the alternative
- All customer Proof of Deliveries come together the following a week of delivery with the invoice
- A much more integrated call off and storage system with none of the associated hassle or inconvenience to the customer or supermarket
- Able to undertake large volume specials as well as day to day one pallet deliveries to each RDC (Regional Distribution Centres) in the UK or Ireland
