A lot of parcels and letters get sent and delivered each day; with the Royal Mail
alone they estimate their daily workload being around 80 million letters and parcels you may have concerns over how much attention and care is being paid to your particular delivery. The looming threat of postal workers going on strike is also a key worry as it can take weeks for the system to get back on its feet.
Some items being sent are fragile too, especially as more people are buying and selling expensive goods online and are scheduled to be delivered through the post. When you need to send a fragile or delicate item yourself you want to not only guarantee that it will arrive quickly but also that it is handled with due care as well.
Obviously well need to do our part by ensuring we wrap and pack the item properly, padding such as polystyrene or bubble wrap is a lightweight way to protect anything you are sending from being bumped or knocked and sending items inside a vessel such as a cardboard box is wise as they are structurally stable and unlikely to be squashed.
When it comes to choosing how to send our fragile delivery we need to make sure we use a reputable courier, couriers are used to delicate parcel deliveries and being much less overburdened than the regular mail service you get the assurance that your parcel isnt going to be lost in a sea of parcels and letters.
Couriers can also provide incredibly detailed parcel tracking services too so you can find exactly where your parcel is at any point during the delivery. These services will often provide electronic proof of delivery too so you can get evidence your order has been completed on time and that your parcel has arrived safely.
Couriers have long been the choice that many businesses have made but their prices have often meant that most individuals couldnt realistically justify the cost to send something via a courier, fortunately there are courier services that can be bought for just as much as the regular postal service now but you get all of the benefits mentioned here as well as the assurance that your parcel is in the best hands.
To get a courier delivery of your parcel it can all be arranged online and then collected from your home helping to save the time and effort many people associate with sending a parcel where they may have had to wait in line at the post office.
