Welcome to Lower Cost Deliveries, you’re new style of transport marketplace, whose owner has over 35 years of experience transporting everything from a sofa to very fragile paintings worth £100.000.

Alistair Patterson's experience knows no boundaries, as one of the founders of Boxby, a very successful and the very first online courier transport marketplace in the UK, that was acquired by US giant, Uship.

We have personally found it very frustrating as a business for many years, when I travel long distances to deliver customers' furniture bought from me, not having an online website I could simply check before leaving home, to see if I could find an extra delivery job/s on the way down or on my return journey, to help with my costs. And from that frustration, I've decided to launch Lower Cost Deliveries

The idea of the Lower Cost Deliveries online website is to make it easier for all types of customers, carriers, couriers, and transport companies to connect, as simply and quickly as possible with customers.

Making it easy for everyone to talk directly to each other by phone and not having to wait for information or a bidding war to finish, LCD arranges collection and delivery faster, saving everyone time and money.

Customers, carriers, couriers, and transport companies can use LCD for Free. There are no fees or commissions, customers simply agree on a price with the carrier, courier, or transport company over the phone, and arrange the collection and delivery date and time between themselves, it's that easy.

Also, by letting the customer deal directly with the carrier, courier, or transport company, it allows them to agree directly on a fair reasonable price to do the job. Too many carriers, couriers, and transport companies are being paid pennies to travel 100s of miles, sometimes not being able to stop for a simple coffee.
