There are a few things that are useful to know first though - What type of courier service is needed?, is your chosen courier allowed to transport it? and what can you do to avoid the pitfalls and stopping your deliveries from going wrong?
The right kind of courier service is essential if you are looking to save yourself money getting something delivered. If it’s fragile or high value you will need a same day courier service. If it’s low value and durable a parcel courier or the local post office are the better options.
Resource: Avoiding mistakes with your courier service
Same day courier services – For urgent items that MUST be there today. These are dedicated delivery vans and the driver that collects, is the driver that delivers. Sometimes known as express delivery courier.
- Fragile deliveries are safer, much less chance of breakages
- High value goods are covered by the higher insurances offered
- Without transhipping – reduces the chances of your cargo or freight getting lost to zero
- Reliable, fast, dedicated delivery for when it has to get there on time and in one piece
Next day courier or OverNight Courier – Less urgent cargo or freight, can be delivered overnight if required.
Parcel Courier – Services similar to the Royal Mail, they mass deliver many small parcels and packages. This type of courier service is ideal for small items that are not very valuable (less than £250).
