The joy of receiving a parcel is universal

There are many simple pleasures in life, but few can be as rewarding as unexpectedly receiving a parcel. Packages of all sizes are sent via courier post every day, and each one of them brings a little delight into the recipient's life.

It doesn't matter how small the parcel is. It can be something as simple as a book or a CD, but the excitement of taking off the packaging and finding a brand new product inside really can't be beaten. And it's the thought of bringing this kind of delight into people's lives which really makes being a driver for a parcel delivery company worthwhile.

It's also a major reason why we are sending more parcels than ever, and, as a result, more companies are competing for the right to play a part in spreading a little happiness. Parcel delivery drivers often face heavy pressure when out on the road. They are given a set number of drop-offs to complete during their shift, and often have to overcome terrible conditions on the roads in order to do so.

Unforeseen incidents can also impact on their schedules, but the job is never over until the last of the parcels of the day has been safely delivered. Visiting people and bringing them the gifts they have ordered and eagerly anticipated receiving, or, even better, something which they were not expected and comes as a total surprise, is a little like being Santa Claus.

Although the man with the white beard and big red coat doesn't have to contend with roadworks and mechanical breakdowns, the excitement that an unexpected ring of the doorbell and being asked to sign to confirm receipt of a parcel can bring can be just as great as on Christmas morning itself.

Unlike many callers to a house, a parcel delivery person is almost universally welcomed, and it is this which makes the job so worthwhile, and means that lots of people are happy to drive a van around and act as the final link in the parcel delivery chain. Parcel delivery vans are almost universally decked out in the bright and distinctive livery of the courier company to which they belong. In many respects, they are the modern-day stagecoaches, transporting items over long distances, and bringing exciting things into people's lives.

So whenever someone sends a parcel, they should take a moment to consider the happiness which it is likely to bring and take satisfaction from knowing that they are keeping alive the simple pleasure of making someone feel that they are being thought of.

As well as oiling the wheels of industry and business, parcel delivery companies play a large role in brightening people's lives. Companies such as FedEx have a network of dedicated drivers who are proud to be thought of as keeping the country moving.
