Speed and Efficiency

Same day delivery services significantly reduce lead times. This is crucial for businesses needing urgent replenishment or delivery, helping maintain optimal inventory levels and ensuring continuity in operations. At Metro Express, we execute speed and efficiency par excellence with dedicated trucks for your loads, a fleet of 500 specialist vehicles and local teams in each state.

Flexibility and Convenience

Same day delivery services provide flexibility in scheduling, making way for the ability to accommodate urgent or last-minute requests. This adaptability is essential for businesses with fluctuating demand or unforeseen logistical challenges.

Enhanced Reliability

Professional same day delivery providers ensure high levels of reliability with trained staff and well-maintained fleets. This reliability reduces the risk of damage, loss or delays, which are critical in maintaining your business reputation and customer trust.

Customised Solutions

Same day delivery providers offer customised delivery solutions tailored to specific business needs, whether it’s dangerous goods or secure handling for high-value or difficult items. At Metro Express, we are able to load or unload goods using a vehicle-mounted crane for sites where there is no other way to load/unload the vehicle. This customisation ensures that freight is handled appropriately, reducing risks and enhancing service quality.

Scalability

Same day delivery services are scalable to meet the varying demands of businesses, which allows you to expand your reach and handle peak periods without compromising delivery times. At Metro Express, we can turn your service on or off, up or down at the drop of a hat depending on what you need at any given moment.

Advanced Technology Integration

Same day delivery leverages advanced technologies such as real-time tracking and route optimisation. These technologies enhance efficiency, slash delays and provide transparency. Metro Express uses GoDesta software, which has been a significant investment of ours to provide cutting-edge technology for tracking certainty and complete transparency.

Cost-Effective Solutions

Same day delivery becomes more economical in the long run by reducing warehousing costs and minimising stockouts. For businesses dealing with high-value or perishable goods, the benefits of avoiding delays are second to none.

“The values that we started off with in 1988 include being totally flexible; we never say no. Whatever you need, it will be done.“

-Martin Overman, Managing Director
