Quotes available for use
"Next-day networks are built for parcels, not for the high-value, fragile or time-critical goods small businesses actually ship. Direct same-day is becoming the default for anything that matters."
"The honest courier price is the one that pays the driver enough to do the job properly. Anything cheaper is being subsidised by missed SLAs, damages or unpaid waiting time."
