At Firstpoint Logistics, we pride ourselves on our ability to offer tailored, efficient logistics solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients. Our longstanding partnership with a prestigious legal firm of solicitors is a testament to our commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction. This case study highlights the breadth of logistics services we provided to support the dynamic needs of the legal sector, emphasising our dedication to precision, reliability, and security.
I have found Firstpoint Logistics efficient, professional, and flexible in their approach to logistics. Their web booking system enables us to obtain either a quick quote or more detailed quote which is then populated with our specific requirements. Once booked I receive emails at each stage of the process from confirmation of task and driver, collection and finally delivery of the consignment. During this whole process Firstpoint are only a call away and are very accommodating with any amendments to the booking or advice on some of the more challenging requirements we have had. The real time tracking shown on the map overlay is very useful to see the exact status and location of the delivery. I have nothing but praise for this company and the competent and professional individuals that I have liaised with.
