We are constantly hearing of Companies that are fed up with the losses and breakages they have when using and “Overnight” or “Next Day” service, this is happening because most of the companies that offer this service are using a hub system which entails goods being loaded and off loaded from vehicle to vehicle in order to get them to their final destination. True, it is a really cheap way of doing things but there is far greater risk of loss or damage than when using a same day. What we have come up with is something in between, a next day service but with the reliability of our same day.

At Anglia Courier Express we are extremely proud of our can do attitude, if someone has a delivery problem we will do whatever is in our power to provide a solution.

One Tuesday evening I received an email, it was from a lady in Chicago, Illinois USA. I’ll call her Lucy, she had been working on an entry into a writing competition and was concerned that her project would not get to the required address in Chelmsford in time for the deadline; the project had to be presented in a particular way, so many hard copies, stapled and placed in envelopes with the application form etc.

I immediately went back to Lucy and agreed that if she were to email me the document I would print it, staple it, place in an addressed envelope and deliver it for her. She said she would come back to me.

I did not hear anything from her until another email at 16:00 the following after noon asking to go ahead. The pdfs were attached and within the hour they were printed off as instructed and delivered to the competition address. The hard copy proof of delivery was then scanned and sent back to Lucy. Good luck in the competition Lucy...

We would love to come and visit you and see what your problems are so we can come up with an answer and solve your delivery nightmares!

Then join us at the BNI Braintree Visitors Day on 1st March 2011 at The Notleys Golf Club, White Notley,

Staff travelling by train? How will you get your exhibition stands and brochures to the venue? No problem – just give us a call.

We can collect the stands and brochures from your offices either the day before or on the day and then meet your staff at the venue with all your items. As we do not use a hub system you can be rest assured the items will be delivered safe and secure and in pristine condition.

If your staff are running short on time we can deliver the items directly to the event organiser or we can even put your stand together for you.

Once the show is over we can arrange for everything to be collected and returned to your offices either the same day or first thing the next morning.

So next time you have a stand at an exhibition, just give us a call – Anglia Courier Express solving your delivery problems!

We would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011 from all the Staff and Drivers at Anglia Courier Express.

If you have a number of boxes to send or lots of different deliveries in the same area you maybe surprised to know that a sameday service can be more cost effective than a next day service.

An overnight company will charge a fixed price per box where as we charge per mile so a quick trip into London for us with a van "full" of your boxes could save you money.

Also if you have 10 deliveries all in central London we will charge per mile for the journey with only a minimal charge per additional drop.

So for a cheaper price you can be rest assured that your boxes will be delivered safe and sound straight to their destinations on a dedicated vehicle, with no risk of getting lost in the system.

Give us a call today on 08445 679 999 and we can give you a quick and simple quote!

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year from all the Staff and Drivers at Anglia Courier Express.

Our phones are answered 24/7 over the Christmas and New Year break so if you need a courier at anytime just call 08445 679 999 (Min charges will apply).

It IS no joke this weather is it? I imagine that a lot of our clients are suffering with staff being either unable to get in to the office or having to stay home due to schools being closed! That said we are trying to provide as normal service as possible.

Understandably our bikes are not braving the weather for safety reasons but most of our small and large vans are out and about. If you need a courier please give us a call, not forgetting our phones are answered 24/7. Take it easy on the pavements, I'm told cat litter is a great alternative to salt and grit, supermarkets are said to have seen a huge rise in sales and are fast selling out!

As usual our phones will be answered 24/7 over the Christmas period so if you require an urgent courier at any time over the holiday please give us a call. For accounts and invoicing queries our Head Office will be open again from 0800 on Monday 4th January 2010.

The Staff and Drivers at Anglia would like to take this opportunity to wish all our Clients and Friends a fantastic Christmas and fingers crossed for a prosperous New Year.

Anglia Courier Express are proud to have been awarded the Excellence in Marketing Award at the Essex Business Excellence Awards 2009.

Anglia Courier Express are over the moon to have been awarded the 2009 award for Excellence in Marketing at the Essex Business Excellence Awards 2009, held at Braxted Park on Friday night.

A big thank you to everyone who has been involved in our marketing strategy over the past 12 months, all the Staff and our Couriers, everyone at Braintree BNI www.enterpriseexchangebni.co.uk especially Steve Smith from Chilligraphics for his design work and to Gareth Talbot of E-Volution Marketing who organised our web site optimisation.

Anglia Courier Express are pleased to have been named as finalists once again in the Essex Business Excellence Awards 2009 in the Excellence in Marketing Category. The final will be held at Braxted Park on Friday September 18th so fingers crossed!

I’m sure you will all join us in congratulating Georgina and Mark on the birth of their cute little baby girl, Millie. Millie arrived last Friday 5th June weighing in at 6lb 8oz. Congratulations guys and please hurry up and bring her in for a visit!

At Anglia we get an awful lot of calls from people who have won or are bidding for items on Ebay or other online auctions. The service we offer is that of a dedicated same day service, a bit like using a cab for your parcels, we charge by the mile, therefore it can be rather cost prohibitive especially for cheaper items.

HOWEVER if you have a large, expensive or fragile item that cannot be shipped by Royal Mail or an overnight service, especially over a long distance, we may be able to help IF the collection is non urgent and you can give us a window of at least 5 days to collect the goods.

Please give us a call 0800-1800 Monday to Friday on 08445 679 999 or email us at contact@angliacouriers.co.uk giving dimensions and collection and delivery post codes.

Anglia Courier Express recently attended a BNI networking event at Brands Hatch. During the day we ran a competition where people had to guess how many miles “Dolly” the Smart car had driven the previous week for a chance to win a Sat-Nav. The day was a great success and in total we raised £300 which we donated to the Essex Air Ambulance along with a further donation of £200 which Anglia Courier Express gave instead of sending Christmas Cards to our customers this year.

Anglia Courier Express have chosen the Essex Air Ambulance as the Company Charity as it relies only on donations and is such a worthwhile cause, especially when we think of the miles our drivers cover on the Essex roads in the course of their work.
Further information about the Essex Air Ambulance can be found at www.essexairambulance.uk.com

We were delighted to make it to the final of the Essex Business Awards this year, in the Excellence in Marketing category. We were awarded a Highly Commended Award by the judges at the Award Ceremony at Braxted Park on 18th September. We were also really over the moon when we were named in the top 4 companies considered for the Essex Business of the Year Award. A great night was had by all!

Anglia Courier Express (East Anglia) Ltd is one of the few companies in East Anglia to be successful in winning work from the Government Car and Despatch Agency (GCDA).

Anglia Courier Express, along with lots of other courier companies were invited to tender to win work from the Government Car and Despatch Agency.

As well as already doing regular work for various government agencies, and security focused companies, we believe we were successful in winning the GCDA work because customer satisfaction means everything to us. Our reputation is founded on a commitment never to compromise the quality of service we provide to our clients. Quality of service, attention to detail, good communication and an excellent customer services team culminates in what we truly believe to be the number one service of its kind in the area.
