What Are the Different Types of Courier Services?

Courier services aren’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Depending on the needs of the customer and the type of delivery, couriers can offer different services to their customers. Every courier company will handle the available options slightly differently, but most of them participate in the same broad categories. At Fleet Couriers, we are dedicated to giving our customers the best possible service that meets their needs.

 

Here are four types of courier services that we offer to our customers.

 

Standard Courier Services

For one-time or occasional shipments that you can schedule in advance, a standard courier service is the simple and reliable option. All you have to do is tell us what you need delivered and when are where it needs to arrive. We can then arrange a pickup date and time and provide you with tracking information.

 

On-Demand Deliveries

It’s great if you can schedule a delivery ahead of time, but that’s not always an option. Things come up, and sometimes you need an item delivered right away. When an emergency arises, you need a courier service that can handle your delivery right away. If you choose Fleet Couriers, you not only have access to on-demand delivery but also same-day delivery. You can be confident that your deliveries will arrive on time, even on short notice.

 

Regular Routes

Some businesses require regular delivery routes, whether it’s on a daily or weekly basis or another regular interval. A courier company can handle these routine delivery schedules and save you valuable time and money. While you could handle these deliveries in-house, courier services can relieve you of the added expense of maintaining your own vehicle and paying an employee to make the deliveries.

 

Medical Courier Services

Medical couriers require a different level of training than other couriers and drivers. They have to know how to handle risky situations, such as bloodborne pathogens, and comply with HIPAA regulations. Those are just a few examples; many other things go into medical-specific courier training. Not all courier companies are prepared or equipped to handle these sensitive deliveries, but Fleet Couriers does it all. All our drivers who make medical deliveries are trained to ensure the safety and security of your items.
