Additional services we offer

If you’re looking for a company that can tailor your package and suit your requirements, we are the delivery courier for you!

Here at YDL, we provide our customers with additional services, including international, haulage, same day, warehousing storage and fulfilment.

Firstly, let’s discuss why you should trust us as your new independent carrier of all your freight.

At YDL, we have won many awards for our excellent warehousing and logistics services and our partners APC and TPN help us offer you over 100 depots for our services!

Our international services

At YDL, we can offer international services for pretty much everything from small documents to large haulage loads.

We are a part of the TPN pallet network, which helps us provide international services for your pallets. For our parcels, we are proud to be a part of the APC delivery network; they are the biggest individual parcel network in the UK, also offering a unique, fragile service, and most importantly, they provide an international service.

What are the benefits of international trade?

There are many benefits of providing international services within your business. Below are some reasons why your business would benefit from using international services with us…

  • Your company is likely to have increased revenues when you provide international services simply because more people will be able to buy from you. Each country added to your list will open up a new pathway for your business to grow.
  • Having success in one country can lead to success in other countries which will also help to increase your growth.

Warehousing, storage, and fulfilment

We offer a comprehensive warehousing service. We provide over 200,000 sq. ft of warehousing. We guarantee both delivery and warehousing will be fast and efficient, and you can ensure that we can deliver your products efficiently.

Are you wondering if warehousing is the right choice for your business? Here are some advantages of warehousing:

  • Warehousing keeps your goods safe – Warehousing will minimise the risk of your goods getting damaged in the event of intense heat or rain, which can discolour and ruin your goods if not stowed away.
  • Security – Warehousing your goods will keep them safe from any vandals.
  • Storage – For businesses that are constantly getting new supplies in and sending supplies out, warehouses give you more space, especially if you want more stock.
  • Allows consistent production – If you are a company that likes to produce goods ahead of time, warehousing is beneficial for you. Having storage will help you to stay consistent.

Our haulage and same day services

As well as offering our network services, we provide same-day delivery for our existing customers. This is what makes us unique in being able to offer the full logistics solution.

We hope this guide has covered everything you wanted to know about our additional services. If you require more information about our parcel and pallet services, you can find it here.

TPN- The Pallet Network
/ By Trinity Support / Logistic • News • Newsletter/ • • / 0 Comments

TPN- The Pallet Network

Here at YDL, we are part of the TPN pallet network. We proudly run over 100 depots throughout the UK. We listen to our customers requirements which is the reason for our success. We offer flexibility to deliver services that are like no other company!

If you’re looking for a reliable pallet courier, a trusted TPN member is the best place to start. Listed below is more information about TPN, how they work and the benefits of using a courier in the network. We are an independent courier for all types of freight such as small parcels, like mail, packets and boxed freight all the way to large pallets that hold heavy materials.

Are you wondering who TPN are?

Here’s some information and history behind TPN.

TPN was founded in 2000, and in 2019 they were awarded pallet network of the year, which they still hold today. At present, TPN has 130 partner locations and has delivered 5m pallets in 2021.

They offer a cost-effective palletised freight delivery. The pallet network offers excellent and convenient service levels and efficient ways for regional distribution specialists to offer their customers a national service. TPN is also the most effective way to move pallets anywhere in the UK. They have the best postcode coverage and have track&trace which shows customers proof of delivery.

How does the TPN work?

TPN’s partner companies like us (YDL) collect and deliver freight within our allocated postcode areas. It’s fast, super-efficient and means that each individual partner performs a minimum amount of trunking.

Why choose pallet deliveries with TPN?

The service offers peace of mind because you can track & trace your pallets from your mobile phone. Wherever you are, rest assured you’ll never miss a parcel. This is especially helpful in the case of expensive or fragile deliveries! A forklift truck allows the pallets to be moved easily. By choosing TPN as your pallet courier, you are saving a significant amount on costs. Not forgetting you are able to ship your products in bulk. Instead of sending multiple stockpiles through normal delivery services, choose to use TPN.

Benefits of TPN and what they offer.

There are many benefits to TPN and how they add value to YDL. Below are some benefits.

  • International delivery- wherever you are, we’ve got you covered.
  • Saturday service
  • Next working day service
  • 2/3 day service for economy
  • Tail-lift services

The importance of using pallets.

Pallets are used for a lot of different things for businesses. They can offer storage and a base for assembling and transporting materials and products. Pallets provide vital protection to the product when they’re being transported to the final destination, ensuring they arrive intact.

 

We hope this guide has helped you understand and what the benefits of choosing them will bring. Are you interested in the services TPN can provide you?

Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge
/ By Trinity Support / Logistic • News • Newsletter/ • / 0 Comments

YDL’s Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge

At YDL, we support several charities. One of which is the Martin House Hospice for children and young people, for which we have their logo proudly displayed on one of our wagons.

On the 12th of March, some of the team at YDL took part in the Yorkshire Three peaks challenge to support the Martin House accumulator challenge. The walk was set out in the early hours of Saturday morning, the challenge for the team was to cross the summit of the 3 peaks and complete a 24-mile walk in under 12 hours. We successfully completed it in under 12hours!

 What does the Martin House Children’s Hospice do?

Martin House support and cares for families that have children with life-limiting conditions in their local community. All of the money raised will go towards more families and children who go to Martin House. Running places like this usually costs around £28,000 per day. Every donation made will help towards ensuring Martin House can keep providing essential care for the families that go to them for the best possible support.

The story behind our team’s name.

Kristian, a member of our team ‘Yankee Darcy Lima’. Has had support from Martin House since 2019 after the loss of his 6-year-old daughter Darcy. This is why ‘Darcy’ is part of the team name. Martin House has helped Kristian and his family by guiding them on the right path and providing support whenever is necessary. The walk was very special to Kristian as he could do it in the memory of Darcy.

 How much we raised

Our goal was to raise £3,000. We have currently raised an amazing £4,400 with 101 supporters. 48% over our initial goal!  https://bit.ly/3NORi4Q

What our team had to say

Kristian:

Why did you want to participate?

“It is a challenge I have been keen on doing since I moved to North Yorkshire 4 years ago, but the fact it was to be done under the premise of raising funds for Martin House Children’s Hospice made it even more appealing. I have first-hand experience of the work they do at the Hospice when our daughter, Darcy, passed away in January 2019 so it made it more special to be able to do this in her memory.”

How did you find the experience?

“Exciting! But during the climbs, I had a slight issue with my knee, and it made it difficult. I felt like I was hitting a wall halfway through, but the team dragged me through. It was a real buzz to say we completed it!”

How do you feel after completing the challenge?

“It’s amazing! A real sense of accomplishment and proud feeling to say I did it… with no training!”

 

Lauren:

Why did you want to participate?

“This was for an excellent cause which is very close to our hearts at YDL.”

How did you find the experience?

“The experience was possibly the toughest I’ve had to date. I am a very competitive person so the 12-hour challenge provided the motivation I needed to keep going, I knew if I didn’t complete within the 12 hours that I would feel like I failed the challenge.”

How do you feel after completing the challenge?

“I could barely walk when I got home, was one toenail down, and had blisters on every toe and on the soles of my feet, but, I felt extremely proud of the whole team and the efforts that every single one of us made. From exceeding the donation target to everyone completing the walk, it truly was a fantastic achievement for a very worthy cause.”

 

Matt:

Why did you want to participate?

“For Team Building and a great charitable cause”

How did you find the experience?

“Really enjoyed it, great fun with the whole team.”

How do you feel after completing the challenge?

“Looking forward to the next opportunity to do more charitable work.”

Northern Ireland Shipping Guide
/ By Trinity Support / Cargo • Delivery • Logistic • News • Shipping • Storage • Tracking/ • • / 0 Comments

Northern Ireland Shipping Guide

Brexit and COVID-19 have dramatically impacted trade between the Mainland UK and Northern Ireland. Compared to the free trade that once occurred, businesses must dutifully follow numerous rules and regulations. If you’re looking to ship goods to Northern Ireland, YDL is here to help. As experts in business logistics, we’re here to help you deliver goods to Northern Ireland efficiently and smoothly. Learn more about the new protocols in our Norther Ireland Shipping Guide here.

How to Ship to Northern Ireland

Before Brexit, trade between Northern Ireland and the UK was simple as they were considered wholly one entity. Consequently, rules that applied to the UK also applied to Northern Ireland. However, following Brexit, the UK government and the EU created new regulations specific to Northern Ireland trade. The government officially considers these temporary, but the latest update to Norther Ireland trade guidance was in July of 2021.

Shipping to Consumers in Northern Ireland

Suppose you have customers on a consumer level in Northern Ireland. In that case, there are no new requirements for the customer receiving goods. Likewise, if you are shipping items to a business, and the total value of the goods is under £135, the company in Northern Ireland also doesn’t need to accommodate any new requirements.

Shipping Goods under £135 in Northern Ireland

A few extra steps are required to ship goods under £135 to a business in Northern Ireland. Any excise goods that are already UK duty paid do not need to be declared to customers. However, there is still a liability to excise duty in Northern Ireland. This is offset by any paid in the UK, however. Check out the UK Government page for more information.

Shipping Goods Over £135 in Northern Ireland

Businesses based in Northern Ireland receiving goods from a company in Great Britain must fill out a declaration form. Certain items are restricted and cannot be shipped to Northern Ireland without further steps. These include:

  • Agrifoods, live animals and plant products
  • Chemicals subject to REACH controls
  • Drug Precursor Chemicals
  • Wine and Spirits
  • Contact us today for further advice

Moving Goods from Northern Ireland to the UK

There are essentially no new requirements beyond minor EU laws for the vast majority of goods moving to the UK From Northern Ireland. However, an import declaration will be required in Great Britain and an export declaration in Northern Ireland.

 

For more guidance on new Northern Ireland Shipping requirements, contact YDL today. Our expert team will help you make the best of our services as a leading UK logistics provider. From APC overnight delivery to hazardous chemicals and warehousing, we help your business logistics run as smoothly as possible.
