Logistics BusinessFreight Specialist Offers Discounted Semi-Express Service

UK freight specialist Espace has launched its new Express PLUS 1 service. Express PLUS 1 lets Espace offer a heavily discounted semi-express service by co-loading two express shipments on the same van. The PLUS 1 element refers to the extra day required to deliver the express shipment due to the discounted rate.

The Express PLUS 1 service complements Espace’s dedicated van service which was rebranded in November 2012 as “The Freight Emergency Service”. It still offers a Money Back Guarantee or as their service tagline states…..”If we’re late, you won’t pay the rate”.

Since 2012 their dedicated express service has gone from strength to strength, culminating in a record month for Espace’s express freight in June 2017.

Geoff Yates, Express manager, commented, “It’s a competitive market so I am always looking for ways to give Espace a competitive advantage. Some shipments won’t stand a dedicated van rate to  and from Europe but they still need to be delivered in 48 hours. Traditional groupage services cannot do this, that’s why we developed our semi-express service. A dedicated non-tranship service at almost half the cost of a dedicated van. Customers who have an express shipment are now offered 2 prices; a dedicated and a co-load express price. It’s all about giving our customers more choice,” said Tony Shally, Espace’s M.D.
