This is an email that came in from a happy customer last week:

'Hi there , this isn't sales enquiry I just wanted to get in touch about a delivery (specifically the driver) which happened today.

Please can you just pass on my thanks to the driver and can you also acknowledge what a lovely and helpful man he is.

It was chucking it down with rain and my delivery had no wrapping on it , so he got the little bit he had left in his cab and wrapped some of the pallet.

I couldn't get it all indoors (due to weight) , so it was going to be sat there all day until this evening.

That guy (sorry didnt catch his name) , didn't have to do what he did , in the rain , but he did it anyway without me even asking. Absolute gem of a driver you have there and a great face for your company!'

Well, this well and truly made our day, so we thought we'd share it with you 😀 🎉

Earth-friendly pallets: a step towards sustainable logistics. 🌍

We're always actively working to reduce our environmental impact. We believe that even in logistics, pallets can play a significant role in sustainability.

This includes making conscious choices regarding recyclable materials and implementing efficient loading techniques. We aim to contribute to a more environmentally responsible supply chain.

Discover how to integrate sustainable pallet management practices to minimize your environmental footprint.

Peak season might feel a long way off, but for logistics teams, preparation should already be underway.

From back to school demand in August through to Black Friday and Christmas, the second half of the year puts significant pressure on supply chains.

The businesses that perform best during peak season aren't necessarily the biggest.

They're the best prepared.

A few things worth considering now:

✅ Forecasting demand accurately
✅ Securing transport capacity early
✅ Reviewing warehouse space requirements
✅ Planning for potential labour shortages
✅ Building contingency plans for disruptions

The earlier you start planning, the more options you'll have when demand begins to rise.

How prepared is your business for Q3 and Q4?

When businesses think about peak season logistics, they often focus on outbound deliveries.

But there's another challenge that can quickly become a bottleneck...

🔄 Returns.

Returned goods can place huge pressure on warehouses, staffing and inventory management.

An effective returns strategy should include:

✔ Dedicated returns processing space
✔ Clear customer return policies
✔ Well-trained warehouse teams
✔ Real-time stock visibility
✔ Efficient reverse logistics processes

Planning for returns is about protecting customer experience when it matters most.

Is reverse logistics part of your peak season planning?

Our Managing Director, Richard Montgomery, recently shared his thoughts on preparing for the busy peak season ahead.

One of his biggest recommendations?

📦 Move stock earlier than usual.

By creating warehouse space now and securing transport capacity ahead of demand, businesses can avoid many of the bottlenecks that typically appear later in the year.

Waiting until everyone else is booking transport often means:

❌ Reduced availability
❌ Higher costs
❌ Less flexibility

The businesses that act early are usually the ones that experience the fewest problems when volumes increase.

What steps are you taking now to prepare for the second half of 2026?

📦 FAQ Spotlight: “Can I request a Saturday delivery?”

Absolutely, we’ve got you covered!

At Mitchells, we know flexibility matters, which is why we can deliver to most UK mainland postcodes on a Saturday.

🗓️ Yes, Saturday delivery is available.

💷 There is a small surcharge.

📍 Postcode checks are essential, just give our customer services team a quick call before sending, and we’ll confirm whether we can reach your delivery destination.

Keeping your supply chain moving, even at the weekend. 👍

If you’ve got another delivery question, feel free to send it our way!

Sustainability is now a requirement, not a marketing message.

Sustainability in logistics has changed.

In 2026, it’s no longer about what you say, it’s about what you can prove.

Environmental performance is now a core KPI in many logistics tenders, alongside cost and service. That means:

👉 Carbon emissions tracked per pallet

👉 Route optimisation to cut wasted miles

👉 Greater use of alternative fuels

👉 Increased focus on Scope 3 emissions across the supply chain

Add in reusable pallets, packaging optimisation and tighter regulations, and it’s clear: sustainability is now part of doing business.

For shippers, the right logistics partner doesn’t just move pallets, they help you meet compliance, reporting and environmental expectations too.

If carbon reporting and sustainability are now on your radar, it’s worth understanding how your logistics partner supports you.
