Delivery firm DX has launched a nationwide same-day courier service.
The DX SameDay service will be available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, and will be managed by a centralised team based at DX’s operations in Wednesfield, West Midlands.
DX SameDay will provide a full range of same-day services, including ‘on-demand’ for urgent consignments and scheduled services for time-specific deliveries, in addition to contracted and multi-drop services.
DX Group operates a fleet of over 2,000 vehicles, combining both the DX-owned fleet and a contracted fleet, and the DX SameDay will use a full range of vehicles, depending on customers’ requirements, from small and sprinter-sized vans, through to 7.5-tonners, vehicles with tail lifts, and articulated lorries with box or curtain-sided trailers.
The firm said the new service marks a “natural” next step in expansion for the group, which already offers delivery of parcels, mail, two-person and irregular dimension and weight items as well as logistics.
Paul Ibbetson, chief executive officer of DX Group, commented: “Many of our existing customers have requested a same-day service from us, and we believe that our offering brings together an unrivalled combination of value, reliability and nationwide reach that customers will value highly.
“DX has 50 years’ experience in delivering service excellence to customers who prioritise time-sensitive deliveries or whose items are high-value or critical, including in the legal, healthcare, retail, manufacturing and automotive sectors, so the launch of this service is a natural next step for us.”
