Best Value
Pricing
As a company it is important to us that our customers fully
understand our pricing Structure, this enables us to build
long term business relationships and ensures that you don’t
need to spend hours dealing with invoice queries.
We offer Best Value Pricing, which means that you will only
pay for the actual miles that your courier vehicles travels,
whilst carrying your consignment. The calculation of the mileage
will be made from the full pickup postcode to the full delivery
postcode. This may seem obvious, however most couriers charges
aren’t made this way; they charge based on ‘central
points’ not actual mileage.

Pricing Most couriers
charge Central Point Pricing, which works on the premise that
the mileage you are charged is based on a central point within
the pickup and set down postcodes. So for example, if the
distance between the central point of postcode A and B was
35 miles you would be charged 35 miles times your mileage
rate* every time you used a courier between these two points,
regardless of the actual miles driven.
*If your not sure what your mileage rate is, you could either
ask you current courier company or simply look at one of your
invoices and work out
the total mileage between the pickup and drop off postcodes,
you can easily calculate this online at http://
mappoint.msn.co.uk. Simply divide the number of miles
by the total charge, deduct any extra charges and what’s
left is your mileage rate. You might want to try this on a
number of
different journeys as you may well find that the mileage rate
changes depending on when you go.
