Co-Owner
DeliverySupermarket.com
(Information Technology and Services industry)
October 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)
June 2009 sees the launch of DeliverySupermarket.com, a revolutionary price comparison website for the delivery of parcels or larger items throughout the UK, which allows its customers to access a wide range of courier and parcel operators enabling them to get access to the best price possible.
Until now, parcel delivery websites have traditionally simply been resellers for the big parcel companies, such as DHL and Royal Mail. For the first time, DeliverySupermarket.com offers customers the option of a “Buy it Now” price for urgent transactions, or if time isn’t a major consideration, but the cost is, a customer can choose the “Quote Me” option which provides them with competitive bids from other independent suppliers around the country.
Over 1000 courier operators are already involved in the site, giving unprecedented scope for price and service to match customer expectations. Tim Gilbert, co-founder of DeliverySupermarket.com, says: "With many other price comparison sites, the benefit to the customer is hard to measure, and often the customer service response can disappointing if anything goes wrong. However “Quote Me” offers come directly from independent operators' control rooms, so are completely personalised, giving the customer the best possible chance to benefit from the keenest prices available on the day.” -
