Worst name for a Courier Company?

I have a personal thing about A2B Couriers....don't like it one bit but i've seen a member on here that i think easily beats that into 2nd place. [business]???!!!!<div>Sameday Everyday eXpress Insured</div><div>Now i know we need to stand out above the rest and Speed doesn't exactly do that but come on.....[business]?</div><div>How about Couriers Understand New Technology?</div><div>or Transport Within A Timeframe<br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

when we started i wanted [name] Internation Transport,&nbsp; S.H.I.T&nbsp; for short :-)<br>

seen Redline couriers (as in the rev's) a couple of times &amp; fast lane couriers<div><br></div><div>as they usually aren't in any hurry</div>

<p>What about Sameday European Xpress Items...? Which is what we also do.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hi [name]</p><p>Nice to speak with you for the first time&nbsp;on the telephone [name].</p><p>.Hope I cleared up things there with you. And as you agreed SEXI not an easy name to forget.</p><p>look forward to being able to share some work in the future.</p><p>regards</p><p>[name] @ SEXI</p>

and yes [name], it may well get you noticed, but so would I wearing a clown costume...the question for me is, does it look professional?......and for me, the answer is no.<div><br></div>

as long as your vans aren't logo'd up [name] yes...lol

Hot young girl in office "Hey girls that "SEXI" courier will be here in a minute."<br><br>Now enters 23 stone driver who just spent 40 mins unloading heavy boxes in 18 degrees.<br><br>Scratches his arse and says mornin ladies........... <br>

Trotters Independent Traders&nbsp; Rodney?<br><br>

I'll just point out i have never seen a SEXI driver, I was only a joke.<br>I hope he isn't 23 stone now!!!!<br>

I've had a few sexi couriers over the years, me for one..lol and i've had a few couriers with attitude, and the odd arsehole....however, i choose to put em all under one name, gets far too confusin otherwise....its hard enough getting some customers to get the size of vehicle right, so to ask them if they'd like a sexi courier or an arsehole courier, a courier with a limp or one who moonlights as a lookalike for a silverback is going a bit too far.<div>Trades description act might kick in, what's sexi for her isn't necessarily wot's sexi for him.</div>

U.G.L.I Couriers<div>We may not be pretty, but we get the job done</div><div><br></div><div><img src="[link]"></div>

For what it's worth, I think SEXI Couriers is a great brand. It has the benefits of being memorable, different, a talking point.<br><br><br>

It is certainly that, as this thread proves....but i suggest its a bit gimmicky and anyone looking for a professional courier wouldn't think this is one. Humour has its place for sure, but are we laughing with you...or at you?<div><br></div>

Yes, there's a risk of that, but I think it doesn't make you laugh (at or with), it makes you smile, which is a good thing. Whereas UGLI doesn't :(<br><br>Any concerns about professionalism can be answered by how he comes across on the phone, and what his website looks like: [link]<br><br>Do we automatically doubt the professionalism of Virgin Atlantic, or FCUK?<br><br><br>(Apologies for talking about you as if you weren't in the room, [name]).<br><br><br>

Have to agree with Tim, I knew who this thread was about before I'd opened it because I had remembered him joining not long ago because of the name.<div><br></div><div>Unusual names can be damaging but a sensible website, good english and a clean looking van quells any of my fears. I'd be as happy to try him as Joe Bloggs couriers down the road and I'd be more likely to remember him.</div>

If you knew what this thread was about, then i suggest that in the back of your mind you too thought it a tad crass. Being remembered &nbsp;for being polite, courteous, doing the job ontime and at an affordable price is whats going to get you noticed, more than what you decide to call yourself

There used to be one local to me called "Get Carter Couriers"<div><br></div><div>I googled him after this thread appeared looks like the company is dissolved</div>

A while back in Notts, someone set up as Where's Wally Couriers&nbsp; <br><br><br>WTF ?<br><br><br>Didn't last long though<br>

Saw a courier called Harry Carry with a picture of a samurai sword on the side of the van!

lol i remember him [name] <br>

A while back in Notts, someone set up as Where's Wally Couriers&nbsp; <br>WTF ?<br>Didn't last long though<br><br>Oh no they are still going , Its just nobody can find them!!!!!!!<br>

<p>So whats wrong calling your company SEXI...?</p><p>Its easy to remeber, and harder to forget.</p><p>Lets look at some of those bigger companies who like to call themselves couriers but are really next day parcell delivery companies with the odd same day delivery</p><p>DHL. Where does that say&nbsp; Courier...?</p><p>TNT...?</p><p>City Link..?</p><p>or those big hauliers</p><p>&nbsp;Eddie Stobbart..... You would never have heard of him if he did have so many fingers in so many pies.&nbsp;&nbsp;Talking trains and boats and planes Not to mention Busses an trucks&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RIP Eddie.</p><p>And of course my van have the Company name phone number and logo on the side..</p><p>Why wouldnt you put your name on the side of your vehicle... Its your company name.</p><p>And... &nbsp;No problems with me in my the clown suit.. If if would bring in customers I'd have my drivers where one to. Any more good ideas to promote my buisness,&nbsp;please dont go shy like Rob did&nbsp;on the phone share em on here.</p><p>Not got time to reply to every ones posting ... Got more work to do today,</p><p>Catch up with you all late</p>

I didn't go shy....it was a random call as you well know saying you had a driver clearing in London....I said i'd bear you in mind, and then you asked if i knew who i was talking to?!<div>Then you revealed who you were....and you then said it was a memorable name, to which I replied "yes i'm not saying it isn't" Like I said further up....I ain't going to be using a subbie with a Logod van with S.E.X.I written on it....call me old school if ya like</div><div>And no DHL TNT etc don't have Courier in their name...then again they ain't Couriers so i for one ain't surprised</div>

<p>My own Spare van at the Stone Roses concert in Manchester... 2012</p><p>Delivering the guitars for the Boy Band&nbsp;guitarist I suppose.</p>

<p>Really TNT and DHL dont do same day work...</p><p>I remeber taking a big package for TNT all the way to Gdansk for TNT and when I arrived I had to say I was a TNT driver.</p><p>I guess they wre all mixed up in the office at TNT that day</p><p>Also Just for your proffesionl list [name] </p><p>Big Brother and Children in need use our services as well as the Stone Roses,,, just a couple you might of heard of.</p><p>And even when&nbsp;I told you who I was just were lost for words...</p><p>And my London driver is OK now so were OK there .. But still looking to cover a return on&nbsp;the other 3 jobs I mentioned&nbsp;for next week.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Why am i not surprised the Stone Roses use you

and Big Brother....now there's quality...lol

Me and my 2 partners are wondering whether to use an acronym for our logo?

Just revised my business hours.<div><br><div><br></div><div>tp://www.societ<img src="[link]"></div></div>

Hey [name],&nbsp; I think you should go for the acronym. 3 DICS. That'll really pull the punters. :-).<br>

A very small percent of TNT &amp; DHL business is sameday so I don't think of them as couriers either,<div><br></div><div>possibly every one of us could rattle off household name/blue chip companies we've worked for, is it credabilty by association?&nbsp;</div>

<p>HI Mk Bikes..</p><p>Not to rattle off to much about Blue chip companies,</p><p>But its worth it when they call back every year. Obviously were doing somthing that they like.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Mine call every week ;-)

SO, mine call every day !! LOL, &nbsp; :-D..

mine call everyday lol :-)<br>

I do keep saying it, but some aren't taking any notice<div>If you have nothing to say, say nothing</div><div>Better to be known as the quiet one, than be known as the stupid one</div>

still waiting for mine to call.....lol

Not sure who you are refering to with that^<div><br></div><div><br></div>

Shall we have a game of trumps then?<div><br></div><div>The biggest blue chip?</div>

It refers to those that talk tripe, so worry not...not aimed in your direction MK

There are some on here that seem to think the age and make of your car show how successful you are...lol<div>A certain chap keeps on at how unprofessional we all are, but at least we can spell</div><div>Success for me is whether i'm comfortable with what i'm doing, and how i'm doing it</div><div>It certainly can't be measured by the size or age of my car, or how loudly i big myself up</div><div><br></div><div>Is this another Thatcherite "You are what you earn"</div><div>I'm richer than most I know cos I've got what i want....Contentment</div>

It ain't a blue chip that some on here have MK....it's one that sits on their shoulder

<p>I like chips.</p><p>and cake.............</p>

<p>MK Bikes</p><p>What a good idea about trumps..</p><p>My biggest Blue chip company is Disney... We often run out to Madrid Spain to collect </p><p>for his outletts on</p><p>Oxford Street London, His main&nbsp;UK show off shop. Belfast, His Northern Ireland </p><p>show off shop, </p><p>Even&nbsp; the MK shop occasionally gets a visit along with the Aberdeen shop.</p>

McDonalds would trump Disney but I can't boast ever working for them LOL

Years ago I was in a local motorcycle club called &nbsp;<b>C</b>aldicot <b>R</b>iders <b>A</b>nd <b>P</b>illions .... or C.R.A.P., for short. We made it into Motorcycle News with that one.

<p>LOL&nbsp; MK Bikes...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even my dog wont eat food from &nbsp;there... </p><p>But he will share my pie and chips, So now I buy him his&nbsp; ... There just not the same once he's had his nose in there...</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
