subject: Why Using A Courier Is Better [print this page]


When sending mail a lot of people think its easier to go down to your local Post Office. This isnt always the case though, especially since Royal Mail delivery prices have seen an increase in recent years. If you want to get the best value for money when sending mail you should definitely switch to using a courier service.

If you regularly need to post items, be they letters or large parcels, a courier service could really help to save you both time and money. For starters, you wont need to take time out of your day to pay a visit to the Post Office, as courier companies can collect your parcel for free. You can ask them to collect from any address you like as well, so if you need to go to work you can simply take your parcel with you and give the courier your work address.

Another feature boasted about by many courier companies is the tracking systems that a lot of them use. Royal Mail does provide customers with the option to use their Track & Trace service, but often people find that these delivery types are overpriced and substandard. Nearly all courier companies attach a tracking service to all delivery options, so even if you choose the cheapest one available youll still be able to track your parcels progress.

If youre sending mail containing important documents or items of sentimental value you can pay extra at the Post Office for insurance, just in case your parcel were to go awry during transit. Courier companies usually provide compensation cover for loss or damage with every delivery, meaning you dont have to pay for something that should already be included as standard.

Courier companies are generally much more reliable than Royal Mail. They can guarantee you a delivery time and will almost always meet it to the hour, allowing you to get on with the things you really need to be doing. If youre expecting a parcel from a courier company you wont have to hang around the house all day as they can often email, call or text you a specific delivery time, letting you go about your errands until they arrive.

If you want to make sure that your parcel reaches its destination on time and in one piece from now on its high time you made the change to one of the many courier companies the UK has to offer.
