Are you looking to send a parcel to a UK address? If so, you will be pleased to know that your choices have never been wider in terms of how you send a parcel, when it will get there and how much you will be charged for the service. Some people think it was simpler back when the post office was where you went if you wanted to send a letter or parcel, or if you simply wanted to buy related stationary and stamps, but with this simplicity came a lack of competition and therefore of competitive pricing, meaning the customer didn't always get good value for money.
Customers who got used to travelling to the post office, queuing up to wait for the cashier, research, book and pay for the service also got used to paying one set price and having no choice about who they used to send their parcel. Courier companies saw a gap in the market and began to compete with each other and the Royal Mail, to offer an alternative, new and improved parcel service to customers across the UK. Now, choosing to use a courier company rather than the standard postal service is about price, but it's also about much more, it's about convenience, choice of services, efficiency and additional services.
As well as being able to choose the right courier for your needs online, customers can also pick from economy services and those services which offer same day and next day delivery, and they can pick cost-saving international services too, meaning no matter what you need and within what budget, you'll probably find it online. This can all be done from your home or office, with no need to take time out of your day to do so, and all the customer needs to do is specify a date and collection address and the courier will pick up the parcel and deliver it as per the service outline.
In addition to the convenience of booking a courier service online, most now offer free parcel tracking for all customers, so for example if you choose HDNL to send your parcel, your booking reference will give you access to HDNL tracking. Tracking allows you to see exactly where your parcel is up to and when it is likely to reach its destination, which is great for those who wish to retain a small level of control and for those sending valuable items.
To take advantage of the new and improved postal service and additional services such as HDNL tracking, go online today!
