Five Questions To Ask Your Courier Company

February 9, 2018

When it comes time to hire a courier service for your company, you can’t afford to waste any time with a company that isn’t looking out for your best interest. If you’ve never hired a courier before, then you probably don’t know what to look out for and don’t know what to expect. In this blog, we’re going to talk about five things you should ask your courier company before you start investing in them in order to better understand if they’re right for you.

“Are you professional?”

If you’re just focused on getting your packages delivered on time, this may seem like a silly question. However, the world of courier services can be hectic and if your courier company isn’t focused on this value, you may be left in a situation where your packages aren’t being delivered on time or in the condition you wanted them with little-to-no means of repairing the damage. This goes for both the drivers and management.

“What options do you have?”

When you’re running a business, you may need very specific delivery services in order to keep your company running smoothly. Ask your courier company about their delivery options and make sure it aligns with your goals.

“Are you organized?”

Organization is the most important aspect of a courier company. If your courier company isn’t using the latest technology to manage orders and deliveries then you should strongly consider setting them aside for one that does. You should also make sure they have online scheduling and delivery notices for convenience.

“Are you dependable?”

If you order a same-day delivery, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether it will be delivered on time. A dependable courier company will be transparent with you, and if something goes wrong, they won’t hesitate to fix the issue.

‘’What are your rates?”

Whether you’re a start-up or a large corporation, chances are, you don’t want to be spending all your revenue on courier services. Make sure your courier company is straight forward about their pay structure before you start making orders.
