subject: What Do I Do When I Miss The Ups Or Fedex Cut Off? Relax, You Have Options [print this page] You just looked up at the clock and gasped (and that sounds pretty funny, coming from a CEO). Your business occupied you so much that you missed the cut off for the UPS delivery; also, FedEx just left the building. Well, actually they left twenty minutes ago. Now what do you do?
New Jersey courier service wants you to relax, because you still have options. One of the options you have is that, despite what they would like you to believe, FedEx and UPS are not the only game out there; there are dozens of smaller companies who will leap at the chance to make your delivery, and it may not, depending on how swiftly you move on it, cost you much more for the extra fast service.
Most New Jersey courier service representatives, in fact, are thrilled to get that call, because we want to show you how we deliver just as well as the big players do. And most of the smaller delivery services not only welcome your business but also want to give you a great experience with it (because that creates repeat customers). They may even be able to offer a package deal or discount to insure your satisfaction with their service, and besides, a cut rate is a great way to keep a panicky CEO happy.
Special delivery is called that for a reason: it is specially arranged, and usually involves a specific time and place for the pickup of the missed shipment. And the smaller businesses are almost always willing to accommodate you, and process your order, and get it on its way, because they want to impress you. If you check the websites of the smaller couriers in town, you will notice that they offer one day to one hour service for many deliveries, including the one you thought you lost out on.
If your order is an international one, your luck will still hold; your newly found business friend will be delighted to get it to the airport for you. There are numerous airline carriers who will take the order in transfer, and who have pretty much cornered the market on last minute deliveries. And thus you make a new friend in the courier business, who might give better and more personal service than you get with the big players.
So relax, because when you drop the ball to the big players, there are a lot of smaller players willing to pick it up.
