Dear Customer
We now enter into a New Year, 2024 and wish all our customers the very best for this coming year.
To ensure ITS’s international express network continues to operate as seamlessly as possible for all our customers, the annual general price adjustment considers the following factors: Inflation – Industry-specific costs – Investing in a resilient logistics infrastructure & Sustainability

Within this context, we would like to inform you that the annual general price increase in the UK, effective 1 January 2024, will be an average increase of 9%.

 

Any special rates which are on your account will also have an increase of 9% for international express exports, import services, road and domestic products placed on them from 1st January 2024.  Any pre-existing discounts which are currently agreed and placed on your account will also remain in place for 2024 but these discounts will be applied after the stated increases above, effective from 1st January 2024.

 

To continue offering our customers next day deliveries to the destinations available, ITS will still offer a same day collection for bookings processed and received via our website by 3pm.  All other bookings received that day, but after the 3pm cut off time, will be processed and collected the following day

 

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and we look forward to working together with you throughout 2024.

Dear Customers,

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty The Queen and express our sincere condolences to the Royal Family and the British people.

After the official announcement has been concerning the funeral arrangements, advice has been issued that there will be some formal and spontaneous public gatherings mainly taking place in central London, around Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Parliament Square, St. James and Kensington Palaces.

It’s expected to have some large crowds resulting in delays and restrictions on transportation, road closures and diversions in central London. This may cause some delays with deliveries in these impacted areas during the period of mourning which lasts up till the 20th of September.

We will be following the official announcements to plan our field operations accordingly. This message is only to give you the heads up about the possible implications due to the unforeseen circumstances.

Kind regards,

COVID-19 has had significant impacts on the global aviation industry and global supply chains. In order for us to maintain a reliable and high quality delivery service for our customers, ITS Couriers were able to withhold introducing  a temporary Emergency Situation Surcharge (ESS) which carriers implemented in 2020.  Since the onset of this global pandemic, ITS have been adapting and adjusting the operations of our global network to align with new developments, regulatory requirements and constant changes in capacity and demand.  From February 1st in light of the continued difficulties the main carriers have announced that there will be changes to their ESS charges.  Reluctantly we are unable to absorb these additional costs and therefore our charges will increase across Asia, Europe, Americas and rest of World by 4%.  We hope you understand and thank you for your continued support.
