If you’re struggling to deliver a gift to a family member that lives in a difficult-to-reach location, or you’re trying to order items online but you’re being denied, it may be because you or they live in the following locations, but don’t fret! An expert courier can help!
Foula, Shetland Islands, Scotland
There’s an undeniable charm about living up North, and while the tranquillity is something that all residents enjoy, parcel delivery to the location is made incredibly difficult. In fact, Foula has been regarded as the most isolated island in all of Britain, so it’s hardly surprising that standard couriers struggle to deliver to the area! The island is accessible by both sea and air, so there are variations in how you decide to ship items to this address. If you aren’t in a rush with your delivery, and you’d like to stick to the smallest budget possible, the mail boat that rides to Foula may be the best option.
The Old Forge, Knoydart Peninsula
As you know, parcel delivery is conducted via car or truck; therefore, it’s quite difficult to deliver to a location that is about 18 miles away from the road! That’s correct – The Old Forge is a Scottish pub that you aren’t able to access by road, and instead you’ll need to hike over Munros in order to get there. Due to this, it can be quite the mystery as to how supplies and stock are shipped to the pub, however an expert courier is definitely able to get the job done.
Bishop Rock
When visiting Bishop Rock, you’ll notice that there is only a single, automated lighthouse to behold, however you’ll be surprised to know that it does hold inhabitants! The structure of the lighthouse is designed to cater for living, with a main room for the lighthouse keeper alongside a bedroom on the 7th floor. Further down, you can find oil tanks and water tanks, but in general, this lighthouse can be incredibly homely! Due to the remoteness of this islet however, parcel delivery is extremely difficult – so difficult in fact that a helipad was installed in 1975! So, if you want to deliver here, look for an expert courier with a helicopter service!
Dartmoor, Devon
You may be thinking – “I’ve visited Dartmoor easily before, how can this be a difficult location to deliver to?” and we hear you! Sometimes, Dartmoor delivery is just as accessible as any other ordinary location, however it’s the weather conditions that make delivery here a struggle. Dartmoor is very prone to fickle weather that can deter even the most experienced of courier, with thick fogs that completely mask the landscape, making it extremely difficult for couriers to navigate.
These locations can be inconvenient to deliver to, but luckily there are many expert couriers at hand that can provide you with the service that you need. Regardless of what you’re shipping, you can rest assured that it will reach the recipient, even if it takes a week or two!
