Honest Comparison

    Send It Direct vs Firstpoint Logistics

    Considering Firstpoint Logistics? Discover why growing UK businesses prefer Send It Direct for same-day delivery.

    Firstpoint Logistics is a well-established UK courier and logistics provider with a strong technology platform (Onepoint) and impressive client list including Sainsbury's, M&S, and the NHS. They offer same-day and international delivery with real-time tracking. However, businesses looking for a specialist same-day courier with independently certified carbon-neutral operations, a tree planted per delivery, flexible no-contract capacity, and niche services like cargo bike delivery are choosing Send It Direct.
