    Why direct-van beats a network for laboratory equipment in Oxford: Pallet networks sort at a hub — a laboratory equipment moved twice, handled by 3–4 people, tracked only by barcode. Our direct van has one driver from your door to the delivery address, one photo at pickup, one signature at drop. For anything fragile, high-value or awkward, that's the difference between "it arrived" and "it arrived intact".
