Advantages of Courier Services

Once upon a time letters were sent in the form of post and the post offices also dealt with parcels. People were forced to use this very slow affair as it was the only option available to them. Then gradually many private companies nurtured their presence and initially the charge was high, but as the competition increased there has been considerable reduction in the cost. And now the situation today is completely the reverse. Today there are high demands for courier services and it has become the first preference of almost everyone while the ordinary posts are taking their path to oblivion.

 Few Advantages are Courier Services:

1. Delivery Speed

The consignments are delivered within short span of time, with most of them being transported via air for outside locations which drastically reduces the in-transit time.

2. Security of the Consignment

Not only the sensitive documents, every consignment is given considerable security which is the specialty of courier service thereby eliminates the chance of losing.

3. Personalization- a part of security

The proof of receipt of the parcels is obtained by taking the receiver’s signature on the delivery slip called as the Point of Delivery (POD) and the courier is normally delivered only to the person mentioned in the parcel.

4. Diminishes Geographical Barrier

This means the parcels can be sent to any part of the world. With the advent of internet and World Wide Web, globalization has become the order of the day. If the courier services don’t have their own services on the foreign lands they make tie ups with other such courier companies, thereby making it convenient to send parcels anywhere. The greater benefit is for the online shoppers who book the products online and get the products delivered at their door steps.

5. Tracking facility

Almost every standard courier company has installed the tracking system, which is normally by phone and over the web. Using advanced technology every point starting from the pick-up, to the courier office, transit, warehouse and finally the destination is being tracked and updated on the web making it easy for the customers to track their consignment.
