At Legion Express, we’re always looking for ways to make deliveries as smooth and efficient as possible. One simple tool that can make a significant difference is what3words.
When sending or receiving a parcel, one of the biggest frustrations can be a delivery driver struggling to find the correct location. This is especially common at large business premises, industrial estates, rural properties, new-build developments, or locations with multiple entrances.
What Is what3words?
What3words is an innovative global addressing system that has divided the world into 3m x 3m squares. Each square has been assigned a unique combination of three words, creating an easy-to-share location reference.
For example, a What3Words address might look something like:
///apple.orange.banana
Unlike traditional addresses or postcodes, which can cover a large area, a What3Words address pinpoints an exact location, helping drivers navigate directly to the right spot.
Or give Legion Express a call on 0115 976 3646. We are always happy to help double check.
Why Is what3words Useful For Deliveries?
Traditional addresses don’t always tell the full story. A postcode may cover multiple properties, while some commercial sites have several entrances, loading bays, or reception points.
By providing a what3words address, you can help ensure your parcel reaches the exact location without unnecessary delays or confusion.
Using what3words can help:
- Improve delivery accuracy
- Reduce the risk of failed delivery attempts
- Help drivers find the correct entrance or drop-off point
- Speed up deliveries to rural or difficult-to-find locations
- Create a smoother experience for both senders and recipients
How To Find Your what3words
Finding your what3words address is quick and easy:
- Visit www.what3words.com or download the app.
- Search for your address or zoom in on the map.
- Select the exact delivery location.
- Make a note of the three-word address displayed on screen.
You can identify a specific front door, warehouse entrance, loading bay, reception desk, or any other precise delivery point.
