Cutting-edge technology combined with a more proactive approach to doing things have helped to make the services far more adaptable and responsive to their customers needs.
With no single company any longer having a monopoly in the sector, new operators have been free for some years now to bring the best business practices from other areas and apply them for the benefit of parcel delivery customers.
Thats why there have been such fundamental innovations as tighter time delivery slots, parcel tracking in real time, and instant notification to the sender of a consignments safe arrival at its destination.
Of course, new technology is at the root of many of these offerings, and the effects computerisation and automation have had so many aspects of parcel handling and delivery cannot be underestimated.
The results, too, can be enjoyed by everyone. No longer is anyone expected to wait around all day for a parcel delivery, with the consequent loss of income and disruption to their schedule.
Now, GPS and tracking systems have made it possible for parcel couriers to schedule deliveries far more efficiently, and monitor a packages movements remotely, bringing an unprecedented level of two-way communication between sender, delivery company and recipient.
Now that these innovations are almost universal in the sector, they are used to benefit all customers, and offered at no extra cost.
This means that competition is more fierce than it has ever been, and as ever when this is the case, the customer sees the benefits.
For example, companies are targeting the services offered by the biggest players in parcel delivery, and pitching their prices well below these larger operators.
Instead, we arrange to take capacity available with the companies which do have these resources. This means that their vehicles be they vans, trucks or planes run with more of their available space occupied, which in turn makes them more efficient, and helps keep them competitive.
