A good delivery service is worth its weight in gold, and thousands of delivery services operate daily in the United Kingdom, Europe and in every nation on earth. Some well-established removals firms such as Pickford’s and The Shore Porters Society have been operating for many generations and helping all types of people to relocate their possessions to new homes since the days of antiquity.

These types of delivery services put a premium on customer service, professionalism and timekeeping as well as maintaining a hardworking and disciplined staff. However, in recent years in the United Kingdom, the ‘man with a van’ delivery service phenomenon has emerged. It is always good to know a ‘man with a van’ who can help with short notice deliveries, partial loads, awkward items and has a great knowledge of any particular local area.

Sole operators such as this often find themselves very busy and can expand into larger businesses as demand increases and they hire extra staff and purchase more vehicles. Customers are sometimes cautious about hiring this type of service but most are extremely reliable and provide great value for money.

When you are considering using a man with a van then simply follow a trusted word of mouth recommendation or check online for independent testimonials. All types of delivery services, form large established removals firms to small scale firms and sole traders, can be found on comparison websites as well as a select few delivery service auction sites where they bid for jobs from customers.

It can be very worthwhile registering with this sort of site as it allows a community of customers to recommend businesses to each other and offers greater choice and value for money.  A good delivery service is therefore often only a few mouse-clicks or a phone call away, and provided you trust a recommendation, you can rest assured that your goods and possessions are completely safe and sound .
