subject: Is Residential Pick-up Available? [print this page] With the changes in the economy, advances in technology and a global marketplace; corporate America is turning away from the business model of a large corporate office doing all of its business from a single location. Instead, businesses are shifting to a model of allowing more and more workers to telecommute from their homes and are more often hiring contract and freelance workers with small businesses to complete projects that were once done "in house". These new small businesses are also more often being run straight out of homes to save on overhead costs.
Because of this shift in work locations, a Miami courier service is now needed more often to complete the day to day work of these small business owners. Courier services are used by these small business owners to deliver completed projects and charts to their clients, legal documents, flash drives that need to be downloaded and information printed off or the final delivery of finished goods that were manufactured at the location of the home-based business.
To use a service like this for your home office, contact a courier service and use your home address as the address of your business. Using one of the few business to business companies in Miami could result in additional fees for being in a residential area. These fees can vary and are often dictated by other variables. The rates that may be charged by a courier service also vary and depend on what they are going to be transporting for you and if they are willing to pick up your items in a non-business district. To make a good decision about whether using a service like this would be beneficial, contact the services in your area and have a list of questions ready to ask.
If you are running a small business from your home and you are trying to set up with a courier service for the first time, start off your conversation that you are a home based business or if you have a business office in a different location that you telecommute from your home sometimes. This will save you the time from having to ask the other questions if the service is not willing to work in a residential area. Once you know this information you will be able to move to the next Miami courier service if the first one does not provide this service or continue asking questions if they do.
