Hey guys, a good friend of mine has a baking company situated in North Cliff, JHB, and will soon be needing a courier service because the current one she is using is closing down...
I know there's a TCG reseller on here somewhere?

Can anyone recommend a good and affordable service for JHB and PTA area? It's a door to door type delivery, usually overnight because of the contents.
She is super busy, so this is good business to be paired with.


Item Wanted: Courier Service
Packaging Essential: She provides packaging for her baked goods
Desired Age: NA
Location: JHB - PTA
Willing to accept a shipped item:
Ballpark/Budget Amount: Dont know

THAAANKS

FYI

I second Silverfox couriers they service is simply outstanding ,

Dropped you a PM - I am in Northcliff too & know the area + residents.
 
If they're running a business why not just register with TCG directly? The rates are significantly lower and it's pretty easy to book when needed :)
 
Thanks for the replies! I appreciate it!
SilverFox actually also do deliveries for her, not sure what their business model is but yeah, thanks to @Dom we will see what TCG can provide for her 🙏
 
Depending on the products and client base geographic, it might make more sense to hire your own driver who focuses on the bakery's delivery needs. Might be cool to hire someone who stays in the area and support the neighborhood.

Your own driver gives the opportunity to personalize the service and shorten time from collect to customer delivery. Granted, this will come with added overhead of having to manage the driver; which may or may not be worth the effort.

It's a good idea yes, but I think it would cost too much with fuel, servicing and salary for the driver...she currently bakes from home, so maybe when/if the business expands that could definitely work out.
She's connected with uber eats now as well, but only in the Northcliff area
