Axminster delivery partner DPD

Postby Andyp » 09 Apr 2015, 10:01

This may be old hat to most of you. I had an Axminster order delivered to my father yesterday and was most impressed by the order tracking facility. Not only did I receive an 1 hour time slot but at a click of a button I could see exactly where the driver was (via google maps) and where we were within his list of deliveries yet to be made.

Impressive stuff. Can't wait to get the goodies home now.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

cheers

And there was I thinking all drivers were called "my man" ! :lol:

Yes I really like the DPD service. They must do good rates for business senders but when I've priced the service for me as a 1 off sender they are a bit dear. However they do sometimes have offers.

+1 excellent service.

Axminster's site of many delights is a dangerous place for me to go, whilst I am over here in Milan bored in the evenings!

The whole process is so easy and the tools are so shiny... must... resist....
