If you have a large family, or perhaps are terrible at remembering important dates such as birthdays (or god forbid, an anniversary!) then you'll know how awkward and even panicked you'll feel. It often means rushing out to the shops at the last minute to buy a card, gift and wrapping paper and furiously sending the parcel off to the person hoping they won't notice your last minute, hurried wrapping skills.
If you took the time to consider all your options you could save yourself a lot of worry and not end up tearing your hair out. Couriers and parcel delivery specialists are your knight in shining armour in this situation as they are able to send parcels much quicker and open up services that can be delivered within a day or even the very same day with some services.
So even if you wake up one morning and realise you've forgotten to send a present, or any parcel for that matter, then you could get it sent away that day and could get the parcel delivered the same day. Obviously this service won't be one you'll be looking to use frequently as it can cost significantly more to use compared to other courier services, yet it is still good as you at least have the option for use in emergencies.
Couriers are able to send parcels more quickly mainly due to how they are not subject to the incredibly heavy workloads that the post office has to deal with, instantly your parcel delivery isn't up against junk mail, bills, letters and postcards which allows your order to pass through the system much quicker.
One other thing to remember to do which you may not consider when packing your parcel in a hurry is to make sure your pack your parcel with an appropriate amount of padding. If you pack your parcel with very little insulation then you could end up with a parcel that gets there on time but could arrive broken or damaged. Packing materials that protect your parcel are not expensive to find either; you could pad out your parcel securely by simply screwing some old newspapers up and placing this around your parcel's contents to hold it in place for the journey.
The other benefits of this is that the paper is lightweight enough to not end up adding to your shipping costs which many people sending parcels can have serious concerns about, you don't want to have a parcel that is only worth a smaller amount costing you alot of money to send.
When sending parcels abroad use an international courier such as FedEx, UPS or Parcelforce as these are the companies who can guarantee you results.
