There are many reasons to use courier services, but the primary reason is to get deliveries to their destinations quickly. In a relatively small geographical area like New England, you might wonder whether you need such a service. If your package isn’t going very far, won’t a standard shipping company do just as well? While in some cases, dropping something in the mail or sending it via shipping company will be okay, there are other circumstances when you need a higher level of service.
A courier company can offer their customers services and assurances other delivery companies can’t. Here’s why New England customers need these services.
Unpredictable Weather
As anyone who has lived in New England for any length of time knows, the weather here can be unpredictable. You might think it’s done snowing for the year, only to get another foot in April. Beautiful, sunny days can change to rainstorms at a moment’s notice. Larger delivery companies may decide to delay shipments, but not couriers. Local courier companies are used to New England weather and are prepared to adapt to make their deliveries on time.
Traffic Patterns
Traffic isn’t exclusive to New England, but locals understand it better than anyone else. We’ve all had the experience of driving along when a traffic jam appears seemingly out of nowhere and for no reason. These slowdowns can happen frequently, especially in and around larger cities like Boston or Hartford. Drivers and dispatchers familiar with the New England area can find an alternative route with minimal disruption to the delivery schedule.
Local Laws and Regulations
Every state has its own laws and regulations regarding the transportation of certain restricted items, such as medications or blood samples. When transporting these items across state lines, things can get a little tricky if you’re not familiar with the rules. Companies that serve the entire country don’t necessarily train their employees in the laws of every state. At Fleet Couriers, we train our employees in all relevant laws and regulations, so you don’t have to worry about any legal issues with your deliveries.
