UK Pallets launches new European distribution service with Dachser
UK Pallets, the palletised freight operation within Business Post Group, is launching a new European service following a deal with global logistics services provide 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 innovative 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. As a result, this streamlined solution will provide a flexible member experience and offer substantial savings of up to 15.0% compared to 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 through each stage of the journey, enabling prompt and pro-active customer service with online status information and proof of delivery. Dachser Ltd 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 will build on this existing relationship and is designed to improve accessibility and enhance the service offer for UK Pallets’ members.
