Thursday, 2 March 2023 at 16:46

Whether you run your own business that has grown and expanded in the last couple of years or so, or own a new, start-up business, if you can manage to connect with your customers using a private delivery service, this can be so important for the continued expansion of your business.

The delivery of parcels from a business to clients is already a common occurrence, however using a personal delivery service can open up many new opportunities, meaning you can gain an advantage over your competitors.

Keep reading to find out more information on a same-day delivery service that is personal to just you and your business to find out if one would be suitable for you at this moment in time.,

 

How does a Private Same Day Courier Service operate?

To an outsider, the collection and delivery of parcels and packages from businesses, freight terminals, or warehouses may look like an easy process, however, in reality, the logistics that are involved can be quite difficult and time-consuming, especially as the amount of parcels you’re sending out increases, and the size of your business grows. This is where the services of private couriers and same day delivery companies become useful.

Selecting a courier service that can cater to your business’s unique requirements is very important. However, once you find the right one you know that you’ll have peace of mind that they’ll handle any logistical problems for you.

Booking a collection and delivery with a courier service is actually really easy, simply call or email your chosen courier service with the details of your consignment along with the collection & delivery postcodes. With this information, they’ll then be able to provide a delivery cost. If the cost is agreeable to you and you decide to proceed the courier company will book in the collection of your parcel. Once loaded your delivery will be made directly to the address you provide.

If there are any delays throughout the journey, the courier company should update you along the way. Once your delivery is complete, you’ll be notified immediately by email with the name of who signed for your consignment.

 

What are the benefits of using a Private Delivery Service?

Businesses and business owners all have the regular postal service such as Royal Mail or UPS available for the delivery of their parcels and packages, however, the use of a personal courier company could actually work out more cost-effective, more secure, and much quicker.

Another advantage is that these types of courier services usually have vehicles on standby throughout their local area, ready to carry out the same day delivery of your parcel at very short notice. They can often collect your goods within just 60 minutes of you booking a vehicle. Using this kind of delivery service may well save you from having to deal with issues such as delays, damages, or loss which can occur when using a standard, overnight, or next day delivery service.

Also, a private courier service employs highly trained drivers who will handle your goods with great care and ensure your delivery is made safely and on time.

 

What Are the Costs of Personal Delivery Services?

Delivery costs depend on several things:

The size of your package, the distance between the collection delivery postcodes, the time of the collection and delivery, and additional services that may be required, such as handball/manual loading & unloading of your goods.

In general, most courier services base their charges on the mileage between the collection and delivery postcodes, which obviously means the further your parcel needs to travel then the higher the cost will be. For example, the price of a pickup in Manchester for local delivery to towns nearby, such as Stockport or Altrincham will be far less than booking a same day courier service from Manchester to London.
