subject: 3 Key Reasons To Use A Courier For Your Next Parcel Delivery [print this page] Sending a parcel can be tricky for some people, the cost for larger items being sent or apprehensions about postal strikes and delays are just some of the reasons people may be concerned about sending a parcel whether it is for a family member or a business partner.
Fortunately there are many courier companies and dedicated parcel delivery specialists that have many benefits to even the most apprehensive parcel sender. These companies will often have their own exhaustive mail delivery network and many years of experience that have helped make them the premier choice when it comes to parcel shipping. Below are just three key reasons you should consider using a parcel courier as opposed to regular mail services when it comes to your next parcel delivery.
Speed
Couriers will often have standard services that equal or best some of the more expensive regular mail services, many standard services of couriers such as DHL and FedEx are guaranteed to arrive by the next day which many people especially business users are looking for. This speed is down to their separate delivery network which will often include their own a fleet of delivery vehicles including their own freight airlines for long distance and international deliveries.
Convenient
When sending a parcel we often have to take time out of our busy schedule to go to the post office and considering that many people will either have similar ideas or need to use the post office for other reasons you could find that you end up at the back of a long queue. Many people use their lunch break to go to the post office and so their lunch hour could easily be swallowed up by a trip to send a parcel. Couriers can be ordered online and come to your home or place of work to collect your parcel, a much more convenient prospect.
Accountable
With regular parcel deliveries in the past youll have had to place a lot of trust and hope that your parcel was delivered and hopefully in good time. These days with couriers there are tracking codes that you can use to keep an eye on where your parcel is, as well as electronic proof of delivery that can help you get confirmation your parcel has been delivered. If your parcel is delivered later than you have paid for then you can also claim compensation as many parcel couriers offer this service too.
