Competition Time! Unusual items that have been couriered.

We at JGS have such a wide variety of customers with unpredictable requirements from different walks of life and industries, that over the last 12 years, we have been asked to courier all manner of items, such as:

Dead fish - for autopsy
Biodegradable coffins - contents not included
Tickets for the FA Cup Final
Parts for luxury cars and diggers
Flight tickets - to ensure the newly married couple can go on their honeymoon
Left behind keys from Glasgow to Worcester
American Civil War rifles and other antique weapons
Forgotten passports delivered to the check-in desk - on numerous occasions
Rabbits and owls - not in the same van
Brand new bicycles for a last-minute present sent across the country late on a Saturday night
Urgent delivery of toilet seats for a constabulary - as the police had nothing to go on
(The one above isn't true!)

...and a whole host of other unmentionable items, partly because our service is discrete as well as being rapid, secure and reliable.

COMPETITION!

What is the most unusual item you've had to have delivered?

Reply to this with your answer, and we'll enter you into our 'just for fun' competition. What we deem to be the strangest, weird or most shocking will receive a bottle of quality wine (no, not Blue Nun!)

We look forward to reading, and laughing at, your response!

Kind regards,

John

The Benefits of Using a Local Courier

While there are numerous courier companies across the West Midlands, there are also many that claim to be local - but are not! Before engaging a courier company, it is best to check: it may save you money in the long run.

We believe we offer a fantastic sameday courier service, we have trust in our drivers and an extremely loyal customer base over the last 12 years. We believe they stay with JGS as we offer them exactly what they want - outstanding service, reliability, quality vehicles, friendly helpful drivers, fast turnaround, honesty - and above all great value for money.

If you have never used a courier before and you're looking to find one, most people start by trawling Google and clicking the links of the first few they find. But beware! Although a lot of couriers are advertising that they have an office in Worcester or offices in the West Midlands area, when you click through to their site, you are presented with a national or freephone telephone number - which diverts you to a call centre somewhere miles out of your area.

Once these companies have you booking, they will then post the job on-site that allow several couriers to bid for the job (which means they get it done for half of the price they have just charged you) and they have made a nice profit for doing hardly anything. They might never of used the company that won the bid before, they can't guarantee they will be there on time, or get an accurate ETA, or that your paperwork will be returned - and so people are let down.

We here at JGS Couriers pride ourselves on being truly local. We have our offices in Worcester and employ drivers that have extensive knowledge of the area. This means that should we say our driver is 10/20/30 minutes away - he really is. We are not about to go and find someone to cover your job.

So all-in-all, contacting a local courier company in the first place should save you money, and give you a fast efficient service that will keep you returning. Contacting and hiring a courier should be a fast and simple process which should leave you feeling that you have made the right choice and ensure your delivery will make it to its destination on time.

If you're a business that has not used JGS before, we can set you up an account on your first use. We are more than happy to give you quotations, help and advice.

So if you're looking for a courier, or want to replace your existing one - please give your local JGS office a call to discuss your requirements and see how we can help you!

Kind regards,

John
