Urgent documents, parcels and packages will still reach their destination on time, despite postal disruption

Mail Boxes Etc.has today announced a range of solutions to help both commercial and private customers concerned about the impact of postal delays on their activities. The document handling and parcel delivery specialist can ensure that anything urgent from tenders and contracts, replacement spare parts, eBay sales and even birthday presents are delivered in good time.

With a national network of over 100 high street shops throughout the UK, Mail Boxes Etc. offers the reassurance of a large scale operation coupled with one-to-one service in-store.

Simon Cowie, Chairman of Mail Boxes Etc. said: “Whatever people want to send, wherever it’s going, we have a range of alternative services to ensure continuity – despite the postal strike. If you have documents, packages and parcels that absolutely cannot wait and have to be delivered securely and on time, don’t panic, just bring them to your local store and we’ll do the rest.

“We have introduced a specially priced next day delivery service of just £9.95 for parcels up to 2kg to help customers manage critical deliveries while the strike is on. This service is ideal for most mail users wanting to ensure that birthday presents or parcels reach their destination securely and on time,” continues Simon. “It’s completely fuss-free and takes the worry out of trying to cope with the current postal disruptions.”

As well as ensuring that all documents and packages will be delivered anywhere in the UK the following day, Mail Boxes Etc. will scan customers’ documents and email or fax them to their destination, which means they will be there on the same day. Emails can be scanned and transmitted for £2.50, with urgent documents faxed from just £1 including VAT.

Mail Boxes Etc. also offers a professional parcel packing service and is an authorised shipper for FedEx, UPS, Parcelforce Worldwide and DHL. This means it can offer impartial advice and round-the-clock assistance with any deliveries, whatever the destination, value or deadline.
