COCHRANE'S - WHERE BRAINPOWER AND HORSEPOWER COMBINE to deliver

We've been "doing express" for over 45 years, and it remains at the core of our service offering.

We understand that:

your customers, like ours, have options and you need to meet their expectations
you can never be too early to deliver, but too late can mean everything
delivering in-full and in-tact is just as important as in-time
the smile and courtesy your customer experiences is a reflection on both our businesses

For over 30 years we have lived the reality that a late newspaper is just wrapping for scraps, and in today's "now" world that same principle applies to everything we carry.

Next Day, Not Some Day

The core service areas that we offer are all on a NEXT DAY service schedule. Where required, this can include Saturday and Sunday deliveries on either an adhoc or regular basis (see Tailored Solutions). Destinations outside our core service areas are either on a Next Day or Plus One Day basis, and you should discuss this with us as needed.

If a consistent express solution is critical to your business and your customers, contact us to see how we can help meet your objectives and improve your service.

Cross-Docking at the Crack of Dawn

If servicing Adelaide from interstate on a NEXT DAY basis is important to your business, then we have the solutions to help. Our cross-dock and distribution solution for interstate customers sees most linehaul unloaded as they arrive in Adelaide at any time of the night, so the freight is available to our fleet for metropolitan delivery first thing in the morning.

Like everyone, we do have a few Terms and Conditions of trade...

One of our key goals is that we'd like to be "easy to do business with". We know however that sometimes we'll see things from a different perspective than others, so our Terms and Conditions of trade do matter.

Testimonials

We have been utilising Cochrane's (formerly Northern Kope) to service all our Autobarn/Autopro stores in South Australia over the last 4 years and I'm delighted to say they are one of our best carriers. When we first started working with Automotive Brands we really struggled to find a carrier that could meet the high demands of servicing the SA stores day to day orders. We had stores that required deliveries prior to 9am and others that had tailgate requirements on a daily basis. Cochrane's were tremendous in assisting Fortigo to understand the needs that each store had. Out of all the states that we currently service for ABG, South Australia is by far the smoothest.

Finally, if any issues ever arise then Cochrane's work very hard to resolve them. Thank you for the outstanding service provided thus far, and we look forward to many more years of strong business relationships.
