Courier offers tailored service package

Growing demand for courier services throughout Zimbabwe, as well as to and from international destinations, has seen Swift Freight invest in a new IT system that offers full track and trace from reception of an item to final delivery. Established over 60 years ago in Zimbabwe, the Swift Group has over 30 branches throughout the country as well as a bouquet of services tailored for different needs that reflect the type of freight being carried in the country. Its “Action Packs” are prepaid, fully sealable plastic packs used to send documents and small items of 1-3 kilograms. The express service delivers documents and small parcels of up to 30 kilograms overnight to primary destinations, and within 48 hours to secondary destinations. Swift has also moved into consolidation, offering overnight delivery of consignments of between 21 and 6 000 kilograms to primary destinations, and 48 hours to the more remote areas. The company also carries full truck loads of between six and 34 tons. Specialised services include Unicooler – a temperature controlled 2.2 cubic metre insulated mini container that is designed to carry small perishable consignments. Rolltainer is a mini container that provides a high degree of security and minimises pilferage and damages, according to the company.
