Yesterday we received a telephone call from a gentleman who had spent part of the afternoon shopping at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet. After completing his purchases at Cheshire Oaks, he then moved on to the Trafford Centre in Trafford Park, Stretford, Greater Manchester, UK. Upon arriving at the Trafford Centre, he realised his wallet, containing essential items like credit cards and his driving license was missing. This was a huge problem for home, as he was scheduled to travel abroad the following day, and these items were crucial for his trip

The enquiry was regarding our same day Manchester courier service and he was in a bit of a panic. After confirming with the Superdry store at the shopping outlet that his wallet had been found there he needed a swift solution to reunite with it in time for his trip.

2. Coordination with the Store:

Including parking the vehicle in the car park, making his way into the shopping outlet and taking possession of the wallet, the process took less than five minutes.

5. Delivery to the Client:

6. Safe Delivery:
