1 – Add this logo and text to your advert or listing
We are a new but fast growing concept and many buyers/sellers are dubious about sending Pallets nationally due to fears about the condition it will arrive in and the costs involved. The Transport4 network offers you the service of a fully insured dedicated van driven and usually owned by a logistics professional. Using the text provided, you will assure the buyer/seller that their new purchase is in safe hands throughout the transport process.
2 – Offer a postage/delivery option
On some online auction sites, many potential buyers will not view your listings as they are being marketed as “collection only”. By offering the option of a delivery service more people will look at your listing. Combine this with the tool offered above and the potential buyer will be aware of how safe and secure the transport method is and hopefully buy your item.
3 – Place the emphasis on the shipper to arrange the delivery
You are the seller – the buyer wants your item for sale. Make the buyer aware of the transport4 network and they can arrange the collection and delivery themselves. You can do as much or little as you want – send them a link to the
cost calculator or calculate the price yourself and send it to them – Whatever your customer service/interaction level, the transport4 network can help – We provide all the resources you need.
We have developed free tools for you to calculate what you should pay for your delivery service. The prices are based on non-urgent goods sent on a “return journey” through one of our private courier companies. If you require the item on a more urgent basis, we can still provide the service but be aware the price may be up to 3 times as much as you originally calculated. Need a same day-urgent courier – we have a courier directory to help you find a courier in your area today.
5 – Create a reputation in the network
Whilst drivers are looking to cover their own fuel and running costs and will be flexible on collection and delivery times to suit you, if you advertise your goods at too low a price, you may not get the level of interest you want.
We have developed a feedback system to help keep the community fair and honest. As your feedback rating grows, the more interest you will get from drivers and shippers alike. A good reputation goes a long way and as a seller you may be able to achieve lower prices as the courier knows they will get an easy transaction
Good luck buying or selling Pallets of goods online and we hope this guide and also the transport4 network helps you to achieve increased sales/purchases and profits.
