Four under-the-radar benefits of using a courier service

Everyone knows the major reasons to use a courier service. The speed, security, transparency and customization are all obvious benefits and a significant reason why people are choosing courier services.

However, there are some others a little more under the radar that customers are going for these days; a few of which we’re going to share with you today. Here are some under-the-radar reasons you might want to use a courier service. Let’s jump right in. 

Fewer restrictions

Courier services are able to ship a wider range of packages in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Have a jumbo delivery? Courier services can usually accommodate you. Have a weird shaped delivery? Courier services can do it. In fact – there are courier services out there who specialize in the unusual and nonstandard parcels that go well beyond the scope of a post office. They know how to handle these goods and get them to their destination on time and in one piece.

Greater support services

One major benefit to working with courier companies is the number of support services they offer. From package tracking to warehousing and storage – you can consolidate a lot of services into one by going the courier service route. This helps provide a greater convenience to business owners in addition to a more efficient overall operation. 

Reduced liability

Courier services take the liability of delivering parcels off of you and onto themselves. Not only are they better trained – but many carry insurance that will protect you (and your customer) in the event that something happens. That means no more worrying about whether company employees might cause accidents making deliveries. 

Customer Retention

Look, the name of the game in business isn’t just selling your service. It’s selling it to people over and over again. Happy customers often mean repeat customers and if that’s front of mind than courier services can help do just that. Your customers will benefit from the reliable service, lower shipping costs and professional handling of their parcels. This will give you a competitive advantage and help you grow your business.
