Recently a postal worker has been jailed for being found to have kept a large amount of parcels, letters and other items they were meant to deliver for themselves. The worker has now been jailed and the slew of packages found at their home is now being looked into to see if they can be returned or delivered to their intended destination.
This is a major blow for people looking to send parcels as it will no doubt make them question the security and trustworthiness of the postal service. Other issues such as mail strikes and other delays have also contributed to many people choosing to use alternative services instead. These alternatives have been avoided in the past due to their high prices and were often aimed more at businesses than individuals.
Couriers and other dedicated parcel delivery firms have become a popular choice as their costs are now much more accessible for even the smallest of deliveries and they have many other service features that can help make sending a parcel a much easier and reassuring process, even for shipments going overseas.
Couriers are not only able to send your parcels more quickly but they also have many convenient features such as collecting the parcel from you instead of waiting in line at the post office which many people working don't have the time to do.
Once your parcel has been collected from you that isn't the last you've heard of it either, many parcel delivery firms are available that can provide you with up to the minute updates that can tell you exactly where your parcel is whether it is at a sorting office or onboard a flight to its destination. This system is achieved by a barcode being scanned on the parcel at key points during the delivery process to provide an update on the parcel's location.
With these service features as standard rather than having to pay extra you won't have to worry about the costs requiring additional payments like you may have to with the regular mail service. When you have a parcel to send whether it is in another town or another country you should make sure to send them via a service you can trust and get the best performance for your money.
By going online you'll be able to find courier companies that specialise in international as well as overnight delivery for urgent parcels.
