UK Mail Partner with EURODIS to Deliver to Croatia

BIRMINGHAM, U.K. - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Croatia is set to become the 28th member of the European Union on 1st July 2013 and therefore significant changes for the transport industry and its customers will arise. West Midlands based UK Mail, the UK’s leading independent parcels and Logistics Company has partnered with Eurodis to provide easy delivery into Croatia for their customers.

With Croatia entering the EU, supply chain will become cheaper and faster due to the elimination of custom duties, therefore no delays when shipping parcels. UK Mail’s partnership with Eurodis signifies to their customers their dedication to European delivery and now hassle free shipping to Croatia. Eurodis, a transport network for shipments ranging from 1-kg parcels to 800-kg pallets (combined freight) in 34 European countries, will introduce daily transport lines between Croatia and Germany from July, from which UK Mail customers will be able to benefit from.

“Companies like Eurodis, who are specialized in international transport will see a sharp increase in volumes”, expects Carsten Siebe, managing director at Eurodis GmbH.

The Croatian partner and shareholder of Eurodis is Overseas Express, the market leader in the combined freight sector. UK Mail’s deliveries will go through Overseas Express once they have arrived in Croatia. ‘‘We have been a member of the Eurodis network since 2010”, explains Boris Brkovic, CEO at Overseas Express. “Based on this stable collaboration, a project team is already working on operational adjustments to ensure the best possible lead times in anticipation of increasing shipment volumes.” Similar to Siebe from Eurodis, Brkovic expects “an essential increase in international volumes, especially on imports from other EU countries as a result of the removal of customs duties.“

Guy Buswell, CEO of UK Mail commented, “International delivery is on the rise, we want to be able to offer our customers a streamlined delivery service. We’ve worked with Eurodis over a number of years and are a trusted partner of ours. We look forward to developing our relationship with our Croatian Partners and we’re sure to see a rise in international shipping due to the inception of Croatia joining the EU.”
