DISPATCH OF GOODS IN FRANCE AND EUROPE
This involves shipping goods from a specific area, often a department, entrusted by clients to anywhere in France or Europe. This merchandise is often picked up by distribution drivers after their deliveries. Large clients often benefit from overflow trailers at their docks to load their shipments. These are towed by drivers in the late afternoon to be processed and shipped.
In dispatch, the merchandise can use several networks depending on the deadline, weight, tariff level, or certain specific constraints, such as appointment scheduling.
- La Classic Groupage: For shipments from 1 kg to 3 t, the deadline is 24 to 48 hours for the north of France and 48 to 72 hours for the south. This network offers deliveries by appointment, being the most economical for the weight range of 30 kg to 300 kg.
- Express Groupage: For shipments from 1 kg to 300 kg, the deadline is guaranteed 24 hours or refunded for the entire France. It is an expensive but very effective network.
- Single Parcel: For shipments from 1 kg to 30 kg, the deadline is not guaranteed within 24 hours in the north of France and within 48 hours in the south, with no appointment scheduling. This network does not deliver to individuals. It is an economical and efficient network.
- Pallet Network: For palletized shipments, the network accepts up to 8 pallets. The deadline is 48 hours in the north, which can be reduced to 24 hours with a guaranteed but non-refundable deadline, and 72 hours in the south, which can be reduced to 48 hours with a guaranteed but non-refundable deadline. This network offers deliveries by appointment, being economical for the 1 to 3 pallet range and generally very efficient.
