Yet More Royal Mail Woes Lead Customers to Couriers
The best seem to be getting better and the worst seem to be getting worse when it comes to parcel delivery, the Royal Mail is sadly in the latter of those and a recent survey of customers in the South East of England has found that more and more people are disappointed with the service they receive. It comes shortly after it came to light that many postal workers find they are being forced to cover other colleagues' round before they can even begin their own in a bizarre new rule for the company.
This obviously has led to significant delays where letters and parcels have been delivered well in to the afternoon and many parcels that needed to be delivered early in the day. This has been a major inconvenience to many people and has caused a lot of customers to look elsewhere and for good reason.
Courier companies and parcel delivery firms have quickly become the popular choice when it comes to parcel shipping whether you are a business user or an individual, they have a strong reputation for delivering parcels on time and without the silly rules and delays caused by strike action delaying your important parcel from being delivered to its intended destination on time.
The leading choice for most people these days' couriers are often regarded as quicker since they aren't tasked with the masses of letters, bills and junk mail that the Royal Mail has to handle. With a lightened workload they are able to handle larger or heavier parcels that you may not have been able to send in the past. Couriers are also able to collect your parcel from you to save the arduous task of getting your parcel to the post office in order to get it sent.
If your parcel is larger and heavy then you won't want to have to carry that parcel all the way to your local post office and wait in line as many people are likely to be subjected to. The convenience of your parcel being collected is replicated at the other end as well as couriers will make multiple delivery attempts at the recipient's location and allows an opportunity to change the delivery address such as changing it to a work address if they are not home to accept the parcel.
Courier deliveries are one of the best options available to send parcels using more advanced services such as next day delivery that makes sure you can get your parcels delivered on time.
