There has been a lot of confusion over the state of the postal service here in the UK, a couple of years ago there was a strange decision to change its name (which got reversed just a short while afterwards), the frequent postal workers strikes that delayed many deliveries and now it looks as though the service is going to be privatised which may cause disruption to many local post offices in the country.
The plight of the local post office has been well publicised in the media, many village post offices have been forced to shut down leaving not only a hole where the letter and parcel sending services used to be but also the fringe features of local post offices such as providing general groceries and even a social meeting place for many people.
All of this aside, the confusion and occasional let downs that people who have sent parcels and letters have experienced seems to have resulted in many people who are looking to send a parcel or important letter to look at alternatives when they need to send a parcel. One of the most obvious and increasingly popular shipping methods has been the courier.
Couriers have been around for many years but have not been as widely available as they are now, in the past they used to be the solution many businesses used and required ongoing contracts in order to use them which the occasional parcel sender would not have been cost effective. These days though we are seeing many couriers step into the fray when the regular postal service has struggled, and they are becoming a popular choice for individuals as their prices have come down and are accepting much more parcels on a one-off basis that many of their customers need.
Even arranging a delivery is incredibly easy and doesn't even require a trip to the post office, it can all be done online. There have been a number of deliveries that have been sped up by using a courier and not only does it arrive quickly but there are also many other features that couriers have that make them more comprehensive such as having a parcel tracking facility to see where your parcel is at any point during the delivery.
A courier operates independent of the postal service so you can easily avoid any problems that are experienced by the postal service, especially as these issues continue to affect our regular post.
There are many ways to get a good parcel delivery service these days, these UK Couriers are able to quickly handle deliveries and afford more security to your parcel or any documents you are sending.
