“As a third-party logistics provider (3PL) Diamond Logistics has access to a variety of different network partners including Yodel, allowing greater flexibility and reduced risk across the UK parcel sector. Every carrier has its ups and its downs and I think it is possible for documentaries such as this one to portray a carrier in a poor light unfairly, but highlighting a tiny minority of failings win a huge delivery operation.
