Trackable Parcels The Technology Helping Find Lost Parcels
Sending a parcel could be something many people have had concerns about in the past
, there have been many stories in the past where postal workers have lost parcels or postal workers going on strike making many urgent deliveries arrive days, even weeks late.
There have always been other options such as sending a parcel via a dedicated parcel delivery service or courier. A courier operates outside the regular post service which means that when strikes occur then your delivery will not be affected, the only downside to this service is that it used to cost too much for most individual parcel delivery and so it used to be the case that only businesses or freight users would opt for a courier.
Fortunately the cost of using a courier is now in line with the cost of the regular parcel service offered by the regular mail service. But using a courier can have many benefits such as not having to go to your local post office before work or during your lunch break; instead the courier will be able to be told where to collect the parcel from whether this is at your home or at your place of work. This means you wont have to be inconvenienced by the trip and possible wait at the post office.
It is after your parcel has been collected that the benefits of using a courier comes into effect, this is because many recognizable couriers provide a unique tracking code that can be entered on to the internet or via telephone to find where your parcel is.
This service has many benefits, mostly making sure that people can feel assured that their delivery is taking place and not left in a back room of the post office. The code relates to a barcode on the label of your parcel which is scanned at key points during the parcel delivery process. Whether your parcel is in the sorting office, on a plane or out for delivery youll be able to ge3t up to the minute updates on the progress of your parcel delivery order.
One other aspect that this service can provide is evidence your parcel has been delivered, some smaller retailers may have suffered from dishonest buyers claiming that their orders have not arrived and so getting electronic proof that your parcel has been delivered and signed for can help ensure that you are not left out of pocket whether it is for these reasons or any other innocent reasons such as a parcel being lost or delayed due to customs or any other issues.
