subject: Rome Wasnt Built In A Day, But A Parcel Can Be Delivered In One [print this page] A good test of how closely integrated the countries of Europe have become is to send a parcel from anywhere in the UK to Italy. If someone has never done this before, it may well surprise them just how easy it is considering that the distance involved could easily exceed 1,000 miles. The distance from London to Naples, for example, is 1,005 miles, as far as from the English capital to the northern reaches of Sweden.
Yet the infrastructure which now links the two countries runs like main arteries through mainland Europe, and makes it perfectly feasible for parcel delivery between their major cities to be achieved in a surprisingly short time. Air and high-speed rail links make it perfectly possible for passengers to be able to contemplate a journey of this magnitude in a single day and the same is true of sending a parcel to Italy.
This too can be achieved at speeds which once would have been considered impossible, thanks to the combination of online booking, swift collection from home or workplace, and rapid transit using the best possible combination of the transport modes available.
Such news is great for businesses which are keen to serve the Italian market. Once they have spotted a niche for their products, they can call on express delivery companies which are geared towards helping companies live up to their promises, so ensuring that they can fill that gap, and in so doing earn the support and respect of their new trading partners.
Equally importantly, delivery companies also help keep the bonds between family members split between the UK and Italy tight. The 200,000 people living in the United Kingdom whose first language is Italian appreciate the availability of quality Italy courier services to enable them to keep in touch with family in their native land, and for regularly sending parcels between the two countries.
Indeed, many of these family ties have also developed into business links, as Italians who have moved to the UK have established their own enterprises. So a large number of Italians living in the UK have double the reasons to make use of express delivery services, and both their work and ancestral ties have not only been maintained, but strengthened as a result.
