Safe and timely delivery from Nightline Delivers

The first stage of any delivery process involves a collection. After a customer with a parcel in the Republic of Ireland calls Nightline, the company organises for a local firm to collect the package. Businesses that want next day delivery and regularly use courier services within Ireland can also benefit from Nightline’s Smartship® barcode device, which allows them to attach tracking labels to parcels so they can be monitored every step of the way.

Day one – the collection:

A local van operator collects the package from the customer. It is then driven straight to a regional Nightline depot where it will be sorted and made ready for the next part of the journey.

Day one – evening:

Once evening comes the parcels which have been brought to the depot are loaded carefully onboard lorries and taken to Nightline’s national distribution centre near Dublin Airport. On arrival the barcodes on the front of the parcels are scanned by employees and the information automatically appears on the Nightline website. They are again sorted according to destination and prepared for their onward journey.

Day two – early morning:

By early morning, the parcels have left the central depot and are on their way to a regional site. The packages will have their barcodes scanned on arrival so clients know exactly what stage of the delivery process has been reached. If you’re looking to send parcels to Ireland and want to track them all the way, there’s no better parcel delivery service.

Day two – morning:

Before long a local courier will arrive at the regional depot to take the parcels on the final leg of their journey. They are sorted and scanned for the final time before reaching their destination. Once a parcel is handed over, the driver will get a signature from the recipient which acts as proof of delivery. The data is sent through the employee’s handheld computer and a message is displayed on the Nightline website to inform the client the package has arrived safely and on time.
