When you need to ship packages for your business, your options fall into two categories: big delivery companies and courier services. If you’re unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the shipping industry, you might think these two categories are basically the same. However, there are some major differences between the two that can affect your business. At Fleet Couriers, we offer delivery options that you can’t get from big shipping companies, making us a better choice for businesses in Boston and throughout New England.
Let’s take a closer look at the key differences between courier services and big delivery companies.
Simplified Shipping Process
When you ship with a large company, you often have to go to one of their offices to complete the shipping process. Sometimes, you can arrange for a pickup, but that process often becomes complicated and time-consuming. On the other hand, when you ship with a local courier company like Fleet Couriers, all you have to do is get in touch with us via phone or email and we’ll come to you and take care of the details.
More Delivery Options
You’d think you’d have more options with a larger delivery company, but that’s not usually the case. Big shipping companies have to streamline their operations to serve many customer markets, which often results in fewer delivery options. These companies’ three or four delivery options are supposed to be akin to a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but more often than not, they don’t really work for anyone. Courier services can tailor delivery options to each customer, offering everything from same-day delivery to regular routes.
Narrow Delivery Windows
Whether you are shipping something out or waiting for a delivery to arrive, you want to know when it will get there. Because big companies make thousands of deliveries in a day, they often can’t provide a precise delivery estimate. But you have a business to run, and you can’t wait around all day for a delivery. Courier companies, however, can give their customers narrow delivery windows. With well-planned routes and continual communication with dispatchers, we can tell you specific information about your delivery so you plan ahead instead of wasting time waiting around.
