The Communication Workers’ Union (CWU) announced last month that its members would be holding a number of walk-outs in a dispute with the Royal Mail over pay, working conditions and modernisation.
As well as the postal strikes, there have been substantial delays in other delivery sectors. There were two four-day backlogs of air freight in China at the end of last month, and there has recently been talk of CMA-CGM, the world's third largest container line, delaying a number of its container vessels for the next three years in order to stabilise its finances.
These strikes and delays have led to the urgent need for alternative delivery options for both individuals and businesses. Large firms such as Argos and Amazon have already announced that they will be withdrawing their business from Royal Mail, and instead using private courier firms to deliver products to their customers in the run-up to Christmas.
There are many different forms of delivery and transportation, including air freight and shipping. It can be difficult for the consumer to know which mode is best for their needs, and this is where the website Delivery Quote Compare steps in.
Delivery Quote Compare is a free price comparison site for shipping, transport and courier services. They help find the best deal for their customers by matching their specific requirements to hundreds of leading transport companies.
They match shippers and operators to the customer based on region and delivery specialism, assisting both businesses and individuals whose livelihoods depend on fast and efficient deliveries.
Daniel Parry, Managing Director of Delivery Quote Compare, said: “In the current economic climate, strikes and delays are to be expected. We have tried to make it easier for senders to find alternative service providers as well as the best possible deal.
“In this sense, it works not only as a price comparison site, but also as a referral site.”
