Which shipments suit night express?
Night express is for small, approved items that fit safely in a passenger vehicle. Avoid regulated dangerous goods, temperature-sensitive or very heavy shipments. If in doubt, contact the service team before booking.
Outer packaging: choose the right box
Use sturdy cartons or shipping boxes with no tears. Pick a size that keeps inner padding tight. For odd shapes use strong corrugated or double-wall boxes. Seal with strong tape rather than string.
Inner protection: cushion the contents
Wrap fragile items in foam, bubble wrap or paper padding. Keep at least 3–5 cm clearance between item and box walls. Avoid loose parts. Bundle small items or place them in small bags.
Labeling and documents
Label the outside with recipient name, delivery address and a daytime and mobile phone. Add the sender address. Place documents (delivery note, invoice, customs papers if required) in a document pouch on the outside or on the inner lid. Mark fragile or orientation if needed.
Night delivery specifics
Check pick-up and delivery windows. Make sure the pick-up point is accessible (lit entrance, parking, gate code). Inform the recipient of the approximate night arrival and give a reachable mobile number. Provide written release if the parcel may be left without signature.
Handover to the courier: steps and proof
Have the shipment labelled and documents ready. The courier will inspect packaging and labeling. Record the number of parcels and sign the handover list or the courier’s device. Request a pick-up confirmation (photo or signature) as proof of collection.
