December, a month full of festivities, is an extremely busy time. For businesses it is the month when sales explode. According to INSEE, some companies see a rise of up to 20% of their annual order volume. For the businesses that sell Christmas trees in particular, it is the month when deliveries peak. Worth knowing: more than 6 million trees are sold every year in France. Enough to light up a great many homes. Between stepping up production, handling customers, delivering the parcels and dealing with after-sales, you face an enormous volume of work and barely have time to breathe. To keep up with December’s relentless pace, your logistics have to be battle-ready. Which is exactly where Shippr’s drivers come in for your Christmas tree deliveries.
Why does Christmas tree delivery matter so much?
A business can suffer badly from a customer who has had an unpleasant delivery experience. An item that never arrived, a product damaged by poor handling, a delivery that took too long, an impolite driver. Customers are increasingly demanding about the quality of delivery services. And delivery has become a criterion in the buying decision itself. Neglect that final step and customer loyalty is what suffers, along with the company’s image. Either way, when it comes to your end-of-year trading, you need have no doubts about the quality of our delivery service. Backing quality logistics has become essential.
Why hand your tree deliveries to an external provider?
Handling Christmas tree deliveries yourself during the end-of-year rush is a nightmare. It takes careful organisation and planning, logistics expertise, and enough drivers and vehicles. Given the weight and size of what you are moving, tree delivery is not something you improvise. Between managing drivers, covering the ones who are off sick or on leave, owning the fleet and running the deliveries themselves, calling on an external provider becomes the obvious choice.
Shippr delivers your Christmas trees properly
More than 500 drivers to lend a hand
Shippr puts more than 500 professional drivers at your disposal. They are serious people who follow customer requirements to the letter. Through the quality of their work, our drivers do your brand justice. Cheerful, professional and punctual are the words for Shippr couriers.
A wide fleet and timings that hold
Handing us your Christmas tree deliveries means the product travels properly. With Shippr, trees travel in the right conditions and reach your customers within the agreed window. Our modern, logistics-ready fleet is what guarantees that. We put the right vehicle on the job. For smaller trees, or small numbers of them, we offer vans with load spaces of 3 m³ to 15 m³. XXL trees find their place in our 20 m³ vans.
Shippr drivers help you unload your Christmas trees
Our drivers do not just carry the trees. For deliveries to large retailers or pick-up points, Shippr unloads the whole vehicle. For deliveries to private customers, depending on what they need, we can take the tree as far as the ground floor or carry it upstairs. Our drivers can also install this bulky parcel once it has arrived. **Our team knows the different ways of standing a tree, from log stands to cross stands.**And before transport, Christmas tree branches are held in netting to make handling easier. You can count on Shippr drivers to open the netting and take it away with them so it is not left with you.
Communication and real-time tracking
Handing your logistics to Shippr is a chance to draw on a service that is thorough, flexible and made to measure. Choosing us means you keep an eye on how your Christmas trees are handled. Communication runs through customisable emails and text messages at every stage of the delivery. You know exactly when your trees leave. Where are they in the supply chain? When do they arrive?Real-time tracking of your order is there to reassure you and to let your customers know their item is already on its way.
Dedicated professional drivers
During the festive season in particular, you can pick one or several fixed drivers from the 500 on the Shippr platform. That keeps your service consistent and its quality high. It lets you work with people who know your requirements and your company’s way of doing things.
Christmas tree deliveries at any hour, day or night
Using our drivers to carry your trees also means you can deliver at any point in the day or evening. Weekdays or weekends. It all depends on what your customers can do and what they ask for.
