Collection Time Windows Arrive

At Send My Bag we're constantly rolling out new features, some you may notice, some you may not, but it's rare for 48 hours to pass without something new appearing.

We generally prefer the experience to speak for itself but we couldn't let the addition of collection windows go by unmarked.

As a company our goal is to make your travel experience hassle free and we recognise that waiting for a collection is just not fun! 

We'll not go into great detail but suffice to say it's extremely important that a driver collects all items in an area on any given day and in order for this to be achieved the route must be planned efficiently, this makes offering collection times without using additional drivers and increasing charges quite complicated.
