The freight others won’t touch
Most major parcel carriers won't take liquids or ADR loads. We will.
Dangerous goods and liquids move on our own fleet and through the Hazchem network, across the UK and into Europe: individual or multi pallets, full and part loads and parcels. Our drivers have been ADR-qualified (trained to carry dangerous goods) since day one, with emergency response behind every load.
ADR-qualified since 1973 · Hazchem network member
In their words
We'll let our customers tell it.
The team at Sims have helped to streamline our Amazon business. Previously, we had huge issues leading into fines and failed deliveries. Since Sims took over our deliveries into Amazon, we have successfully grown and have the confidence to increase business without the worry of poor delivery services. Dealing with the team at Sims is a pleasure, they are like an extension of our business.
We contacted Sims a few years ago when we were having issues with another company, and have not looked back since. The service they provide is first class, all the staff in the office are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They are an excellent company to do business with.
By far the best choice I made for my company’s distribution needs. Exceptional customer service from an extremely friendly and reliable team. Great rates and service from collection to delivery.
