Services
Acorn Express provides a series of services to our customers.
Among them:
Urgent UK Deliveries
Acorn Express understands how important it is to meet deadlines. So we provide
a vehicle that will be dedicated to you. We will only deliver your goods, to
your destination without other deliveries ensuring that your goods get from
collection point to delivery point in the shortest time possible- Safely.
Once the goods have been loaded, we will telephone you to tell you so. You
will then receive a telephone call once the goods have been delivered. At this
time, you will be notified of where the goods were left (E.g. reception, goods
in, warehouse etc), who signed for them, and at what time. You will then receive
a copy of your signed delivery note a few days later (or one of ours if not
supplied), along with an invoice.
Most destinations are reached same day, dependant on time of booking. (N. Ireland,
Eire, Scottish Islands and Channel Islands dependant on ferries/weather)
