Distribution and last-mile delivery
Scheduled and last-mile distribution to retail and trade customers.
Overview
Distribution is the part of the chain your customers see. 4Jasmine Dr delivers to the retailers, wholesalers and trade customers who buy from you — on a scheduled run to regular delivery points, or as last-mile deliveries when an order needs to go out on its own.
Goods can be dispatched from stock held in our warehouse, or collected from yours and delivered on.
A delivery is not finished until it is handed over. Each drop is planned around the delivery point — its access, its receiving hours, and who is there to sign for it.

A delivery ends at the signature.
Each drop is planned around the delivery point: when it can receive goods, how a vehicle gets to it, and who will sign for the delivery. Getting those right is the difference between a delivery made and a delivery attempted.

We quote in writing. For repeat volume we agree a rate schedule so you are not renegotiating every consignment.
What we need from you.
Send these six things and the first reply can be a quote rather than a question.
Collection and delivery points
Where the goods start and where they have to end up, as precisely as you can give it.
Description of the goods
What they are, and whether they are palletised, cartoned, bagged or containerised.
Approximate weight or volume
An estimate is enough. If you are not sure, tell us what you do know and we will work from that.
Dates and timing
When the goods are ready, when they have to arrive, and whether either date can move.
Access and receiving hours
Loading bays, narrow streets, height limits, or fixed hours when the delivery point can receive.
Storage or documentation
Whether the goods need to be stored, and any port, customs or delivery paperwork involved.
Yes. Scheduled runs serve regular delivery points, and last-mile delivery takes individual orders the final stretch to a shop, site or customer.
Yes. Goods held in our warehouse can be picked and dispatched on your instruction, or collected from your own premises and delivered on.
Yes. Multi-drop runs are planned in delivery order around each point’s receiving hours.
Not as standard. Payment collection on delivery is agreed separately, if at all, before the arrangement starts.
