The shipping industry is constantly changing, and as we navigate through different times of the year and unfolding global events, the costs associated with shipping are inevitably affected. In today’s post, we’ll address some crucial updates to our shipping rates for large packages in the U.K. that are delivered via our network of couriers.
Our Previous Commitment:
For several years, we’ve taken pride in offering our customers a flat shipping fee of £50.00 for large boxes within the U.K. To add value and convenience, we’ve also included a complimentary upgrade to a pre-noon delivery service from Monday to Friday. Although this service isn’t always guaranteed, it has proven to be efficient more often than not, ensuring our customers aren’t kept waiting all day for their packages.
Adapting to New Challenges:
The rising costs we face in the shipping industry aren’t singular but rather a combination of various factors. With the introduction of the oversized box premium surcharge, combined with escalating fuel prices and additional service fees from courier companies, the average cost of shipping a large box for next-day delivery in the U.K. has risen to approximately £159.00 for our largest boxes.
Given these circumstances, it’s essential for us to make some adjustments to continue offering our services without compromising on quality. As a result, we’ve made the decision to revise our shipping charge for large boxes to £90.00.
Our Continued Promise:
Even with these changes, our dedication to our customers remains unwavering. As a token of our appreciation for your continued support and understanding, we will still offer the complimentary upgrade to the pre-noon delivery service for oversized boxes.
We genuinely value the trust you place in us and are committed to maintaining the balance between affordability and quality service. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we look forward to serving you with the same dedication and passion in the future.
