We’re over the moon

August 10, 2010

The courier services  team at AnyVan is literally over the moon, and back, because together with our customers and transport companies, we have saved over one million miles since we started what is now one of the UK’s most popular delivery auction websites. 

Our AnyVanometer has just clicked over 1,000,000 miles – about twice the distance that the astronauts clock-up to get to the moon and back. 

And that means that we have saved over one million miles in wasted delivery journeys on UK roads, filling empty and part-loaded lorries and vans with people’s goods.

Crucially, this means that by the efforts of our delivery auction website and of all those that are taking part, we have saved over 600,000kg of CO2 emissions.

What’s more, we have saved users of our site a fortune in expensive courier services costs.

By using our delivery auction website, people can save up to 85% of the cost of transporting their goods. Which means that everyone is a winner: the environment gets less carbon emissions; people get their goods moved at a substantial discount; and, transport companies make an improved margin by filling the empty spaces in their vans and lorries.

So a round of applause for our customers and transport companies, and everyone else concerned, and let’s look forward to the next one million miles. As Buzz Lightyear would say, to Infinity and Beyond.
