Our delivery process ensures timely and safe delivery of your precious items

Overview:

If you’re looking for a parcel courier firm to deliver your package safely to an address in Northern Ireland, then talk to Nightline. Businesses often need to check on the progress of their parcels and so Nightline’s Smartship® barcode service can come in extremely handy for companies that use courier services to Northern Ireland every day.

Day one – the collection:

Once an order has been placed with Nightline, the customer’s contact details are passed to a local van operator who goes and collects the parcel. Business customers can use Nightline’s Smartship device to attach a traceable barcode to their item before the courier arrives. They will then be able to track their item’s progress at critical points along the way. The first time they are scanned is on arrival at the regional depot - the first stop for any Nightline parcel.

Day one – evening:

After being unloaded, scanned and sorted at the local depot, the parcels are loaded onto new vehicles and sent on their way to Nightline’s central depot near Dublin Airport. Once again they are scanned on arrival, sorted and prepared for the next leg of their journey to Northern Ireland.

Day two – early morning:

The parcels leave the Nightline’s National Distribution Centre and continue their journey across the border. Just before they go however, they are scanned again to let the client know exactly what is going on.

Day two – morning:

A local van operator is called upon to transfer the packages from the local depot in Northern Ireland to their final delivery destination. The parcels are sorted and scanned one the final time before being handed over in person. At the point of delivery the driver will ask for a signature from the recipient which acts as proof of delivery. These details are recorded on a handheld computer and will appear instantly on the Nightline website, so the client knows their package has arrived safely and in good time.
