How Does A Dedicated Courier Service Compare to Standard Mail?

Thursday, 9 December 2021 at 10:18

Standard Delivery Services Have Their Limitations.

Businesses are faced with many decisions each day, such as deciding which courier service to use and how to ensure the delivery of their consignments arrives with their customers in a timely fashion.

Customers these days expect delivery of the goods they’ve ordered fast, even on the same day in some cases. Because of these expectations, businesses need to spend time analysing their logistics strategy to come up with the fastest, but the most cost-effective method of delivering their parcels.

Is the best method a standard delivery service such as Royal Mail or should you now consider using a Dedicated Same Day Courier Service?

Paying for a dedicated same day courier service for parcel deliveries used to be something people thought only large companies with plenty of money to spend did. Did you know the cost of same day courier services is far much more affordable these days, with more delivery vehicles on-demand than ever before?

Same Day Courier Service vs. Standard Delivery Service

Delivery Speed

It usually takes a standard delivery service between 1 to 4 days to deliver parcels and packages to their destination. In some cases, you may be lucky and they’ll arrive the next day. If it’s a same day delivery you require, booking a private courier service is a far better option to give you an advantage over your competitors.

Delivery Costs

If you or your business don’t send out a high volume of parcels, then the standard delivery service option is obviously a more cost-effective choice. However, costs can soon add up when using this delivery method. Also, standard delivery costs are usually set in stone. As the competition for courier companies to win customers is huge, the way they do this is by offering very competitive prices, which can save your business money.

Personal Courier Service

As a business owner, delivery options are valuable. If you frequent the local post office regularly, the attendant may know your name, but they’re giving the same service and options to everybody that walks through the door. Choosing to work with a courier opens the door to personalized service where you can schedule pickup times that meet your needs and delivery windows that make customers happy.
Flexibility

Using a courier company that means flexibility and adaptability, which is very important when you need an urgent delivery carrying out to ensure you keep your customer happy. This kind of service will only be available when working with a courier. The post office may take on extra staff during busy periods, but their delivery time doesn’t get any faster.

On-Demand Delivery Service

Making trips to your local post office is not a convenient or useful use of your valuable time.
Booking a same day courier service to carry out a delivery is far easier, as they come to your premises to pick up your parcels and packages, this allows you and your team to concentrate on the job and spend time on the tasks in hand
