When choosing a courier is it better to choose cheaper?

When you choose a cheaper item, you need to know why it costs less. Often in the case of clothes a cheaper item is made with lesser quality materials, with a courier the reasons that they are cheaper are often hidden.
As a customer who uses the cheapest courier service about, the only justification for that is the item isn't very expensive or worth very much.

When a courier slashes their prices, something has to give, they may reduce their insurance levels (or opt for going without insurance), downsize their vehicle or start to co load the items.

Whilst co-loading itself isn't a problem, if its done correctly, you will make some great savings. But if it's not done right, then your goods could be delivered late or damaged, both of which do nothing for your reputation as a business!

So next time you start searching for a cheap courier, ask what you are compromising on and if the item is of low value... then it doesn't matter. But if the item is really valuable (financial or sentimental) then you need to ask will you get what you pay for?
