Prestige Parcel

Despite the Covid-19 crisis Prestige is keeping its head above water. Some of our regular customers have had to close down for a while, and others have seen their volume of business decline drastically. We've seen a lot of very quiet days.

But We've also been working with the Interior Health Authority to move samples between some of the medical laboratories, which has gone some way to replace the lost business.

We've been following all the recommended hygiene protocols. To protect our customers our drivers wear masks and gloves for all pick-ups and deliveries and social distancing protocols are followed as far as possible.

Wishing everyone a safe passage through this crisis. Let's all try to be there when we get to the time when things can start to open up again.

STAY WELL!

I actually wrote a post last week, and thought I had put it up on this page, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether somewhere. So this is a second try..

Prestige Parcel is continuing to operate through the present crisis, supporting our customers and taking urgently needed packages wherever they are needed.

For everyone's protection all our staff are observing all the recommended protocols to avoid infection, and maintaining "social distancing" as far as possible. To enable this we are no longer requesting signatures at pick-up or delivery, but the driver will be requesting and recording the full name of the shipper or consignee.

We are available to our account customers 24/7....

Wishing the best of health to everyone.

I'm afraid I've ignored our page for quite a while..... but I recently noticed an increase in traffic to our page. At least someone is looking at it periodically. So I think I should put up the occasional post so that there will occasionally be something new on it.

Firstly, our regular Kelowna service is no longer running - Not even once a week now. The demand for it simply died. But that hasn't been all bad, as we are in the middle of our busiest time of the year. Not only are we running a large number of "hot shot" runs for our regular customers, we are now getting a number of requests from several companies "back east" to make urgent runs for them. Without the need for that daily run to Kelowna it has freed up an extra vehicle and driver to be able to meet these requests when they come in.

We do our best to provide all our customers a first class service - and I hope the new ones will stay with us and use us more frequently.

Western Canada - or BC, anyway, seems to be enjoying an excellent winter from the point of view of the tourism industry. Lots and lots of snow, and the ski resorts should be having a bumper season. I hope it continues well into the early spring.
