Could Using A Personal Courier Be Cost-Effective For Your Small Business?

Tuesday, 16 May 2023 at 08:53

These days the number of shops/stores you can physically walk into is far outnumbered by the amount of online business that the internet seems to have opened doors for.

When ordering goods on the internet several years ago, customers were happy to place their order online and wait patiently for days, sometimes weeks for their goods to arrive. These days, however, there is definitely a higher expectation for far quicker delivery times.

This being so, it can be very difficult for start-ups or small businesses for them to process numerous orders, have them packaged, and finally, send them out for delivery.

The use of a same day courier company is a really good way of ensuring your delivery is made quickly and on time. A speedy delivery will also impress customers, and hopefully make sure they come back to you for future purchases.

Courier companies such as Greg Paulson Same Day Couriers based in Manchester carry out the delivery, often on the same day of parcels, pallets, and letters or documents from one business to another and from businesses to private/residential customers. Delivery services like this are a fantastic solution for businesses that don’t own their own delivery vehicles or employ a team of drivers.

SAVING MONEY BY USING A SAME DAY COURIER SERVICE

One of the main reasons a business will use a courier service in Manchester is because it is so cost-effective and helps to increase its bottom line.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS KEY
Businesses can offer fast and speedy delivery times for last minute orders when they employ the services of a same day courier company as they usually have vehicles on demand ready to collect your customers' orders within the hour. If you can supply such an efficient delivery service for your client, the likelihood is that they’ll become repeat customers and order from you time and time again.

DON’T MISS OUT ON VALUABLE SALES
Many courier companies provide a 24/7 delivery service, meaning your business can accept orders round the clock, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays, knowing that they can call on the courier to carry out their delivery for them. If you’re unable to offer your customers this delivery service your business is likely to lose out on orders to a competitor.

ENSURE YOUR STAFF ARE EARNING FOR YOUR BUSINESS
If a company uses their own employees to make last-minute deliveries this means they’re being taken away from the job that they’re being paid to carry out. Rather than sending a member of staff out on a delivery run, it’s going to be more cost-effective to hire the services of a same day courier company.

DON’T USE MULTI-NATIONAL SHIPPING COMPANIES 
The multi-national big-name shipping companies are far more expensive because all parcels have to go through a transport hub/sorting centre before being distributed. Smaller courier companies don’t use these sorting centres, so this allows them to price their deliveries more favourably.

NO VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Rather than your business buying or leasing its own vehicles, using a courier company to carry out its deliveries, will save on the initial outlay for them, the cost, and added hassle of having to keep them regularly maintained and not forgetting paying to keep them all insured. It’s not just the vehicle insurance you’ll be saving on either, there’s also Goods in Transit Insurance and Public Liability Insurance you won’t need to pay out for.

NO DRIVER TRAINING EXPENSES
Using a courier company means your business doesn’t need to bother with sending drivers on expensive training courses.
