If you want to post a parcel, a trip to the Post Office may come to mind.
However the growth of on-line businesses that offer a middleman service between you and a courier has made it easier than ever for individuals to find cheap parcel delivery services.
While Royal Mail may still be the best bet for sending items like cards, letters and possibly small packages, if you want to send something larger you may be pleasantly surprised at what courier’s charge.
What’s more a courier service offers other benefits that you don’t get when posting by 1st or 2nd class post.
For example Timed, Next Day and 48 hour courier products usually come with an on-line tracking facility. This means you can check in with your unique parcel identifier number and find out where in the network your parcel is. This is great for urgent or important items.
These same products will also give you a confirmation of delivery track, and sometimes an electronic signature meaning you have proof of the time of delivery and who the recipient was. A real bonus if you need to be absolutely sure that your item has reached its destination.
What’s more couriers will collect your parcel from your work or home meaning you don’t even need to leave the house, or queue to post your item. For added convenience if you book early enough a same day courier collection may be possible. This is a great time saving service for home workers where time is money.
If you’ve never used a courier before because you thought it was expensive or only for businesses sending large amounts of parcels think again. Instead search on-line for cheap parcel delivery and try a courier service middleman.
