Germany might well be our biggest bug bear when it comes to football and with the World Cup upon us, it's true to say that the rivalry has deepened. It's been a rocky history with the Germans to say the least, World Wars and sporting defeats dog almost every story but it's time to turn off Fawlty Towers and really not mention the war because we need to trade amicably with our European neighbours.
The recession should've taught us that blind consumerism is tantamount to greed and when we can't afford to be greedy and instead we buy on credit, the money will run dry and we'll have to find a way to pay it back. As it is, we've abandoned the sense of community and instead stick to the cheaper the better offerings online and in the supermarkets and where we can find choice online, we'll buy it, even if it's from Germany, Europe or the rest of the world. Why we couldn't simply keep the choice on our doorstep and shun the technology which now offers it to us remotely is a mystery but one answer is that it's convenience and choice under one banner. The cost of online living and shopping doesn't even rise significantly when you factor in international shipping or parcel delivery in Germany because these services have become price driven commodities themselves.
Online shopping, globalisation and immigration are the three big reasons why worldwide shipping services have become such a prosperous business to be in and just as email gathered momentum and has now become absolutely invaluable in both personal and business life, so too has international freight. To send a parcel to Germany from the UK for instance has literally never been easier and once again the focus is on convenience and on choice. All history and politics aside, there are plenty of UK businesses with a German contingent and the necessity of sending samples, bound documents and even paintings for the boardroom walls is a reality.
The standard postal service has a reputation with some for being slow and when the nature of business is now now now, that's just not something that will wash with the big guys and with others it's expensive and unreliable but mostly we just don't like being told what to do. The choice of couriers to Germany these days is staggering but with choice comes risk and it's worth remembering that when you're choosing which of the German courier services to use.
Grab hold of globalisation with two hands by sending a parcel to Germany and don't be afraid to use the worldwide delivery services that are out there too, after all, there's more to life than this small island.
