Press Release: Twickenham, 25 August 2025
At Overland Express, we understand the challenges faced by small businesses and individual customers when it comes to accessing affordable, reliable courier services. Many small enterprises simply don't have the shipping volumes required to negotiate favourable rates with major courier providers like DHL, UPS, or FedEx. This is precisely where Overland Express steps in - to bridge that gap and provide accessible, cost-effective logistics solutions to businesses that need them most.
Leveraging our high-volume shipping partnerships, we are able to secure heavily discounted rates from global courier networks. These preferential prices are typically far lower than those available to small businesses purchasing directly from the carriers themselves. We pass these savings directly on to our customers, ensuring you receive a first-class courier service without the premium price tag.
If you operate or manage a small business and are seeking a dependable shipping partner, we invite you to open an account with Overland Express. Setting up a business account is quick and straightforward, and once established, you'll have the flexibility to place shipments on demand - no minimum volume required. Invoicing is handled on a weekly basis, helping you streamline your accounting and manage cash flow more effectively.
Our competitive rates cover a wide range of destinations, including the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and many international locations. Whether you're shipping domestically or overseas, we provide full commercial invoices for all non-document consignments - saving you time and ensuring customs compliance with minimal effort on your part.
We are proud to serve a diverse portfolio of account customers across numerous sectors. Our clients include boutique guitar manufacturers, high-fidelity audio specialists, specialist paint retailers, and suppliers of IT hardware, among many others. Regardless of your industry, we are confident in our ability to tailor our services to meet your unique logistics requirements.
For added peace of mind, we offer enhanced shipment insurance at a rate of just 2% of the item's declared value - a significantly more affordable option compared to similar coverage directly through the couriers.
What truly sets Overland Express apart is our commitment to customer service. In an age where many logistics providers have become faceless and automated, we maintain a personal, human approach. Our dedicated customer support team is readily available by telephone or email, and we actively encourage our clients to get in touch whenever they need assistance. We believe that being able to speak with a real person - someone who understands your needs and can resolve issues promptly - is not a luxury, but a fundamental customer right.
