Sending parcels did not die with the birth of the internet because sending and receiving parcels offers something completely different from other forms of communication such as phone, email and video messaging. There is something eminently more personal about sending parcels to a friend, family member or loved one than sending a hastily typed email giving a quick update and not much else.
Communication should be about expressing yourself, whether this is because you want someone to know how you feel or you simply want them to know that you are there and thinking of them. It is difficult to convey any deep meaning or feeling in a typed email that appears on a computer screen or mobile phone and which somebody could quite easily miss, misinterpret or see as an easy way out of congratulating someone properly, saying sorry, or expressing another emotion. Just as with text messages, email messages can be misread by the recipient a danger that is not present with the sending of a parcel.
Send a parcel to a friend today and you can guarantee that when it lands on their doorstep they will be firstly intrigued as to what it is, then really excited when they begin to unwrap and a really happy feeling when they realise that it is a thoughtful gift from a caring friend. There really is nothing like the feeling of receiving a parcel, it is the next best thing to a friend turning up as a surprise on your birthday or just because they feel like it!
Aside from all the joys parcels can bring, the birth of the internet brought with it a new way of shopping online. And these online retailers rely on fast, efficient, cost effective and reliable parcel delivery couriers and services to ensure that their customers receive their items when they should, and in the right condition.
