There are two aspects to why it is so important to choose a reliable courier service, the first is the benefits of making the right choice, and the second is the disadvantages if you don’t choose the best courier service. Read on to learn more about how making the right choice and opting for a reliable courier service can make all the difference for your business. 

Only the best courier services can enhance your reputation   

If you run any business that relies on external ‘contractors’, their effectiveness is a direct reflection on your business as a whole. The idea behind employing only the best of courier services is to ensure that as a business, you are able to ‘deliver on your promises’. In a time when online reviews are so critical to the success of so many businesses, you want to make sure that reviews for your own business are only positive. To that end, ‘fast delivery’ and ‘reliable courier service used made sure we got the items quicker than expected’ is feedback you want to ensure you encourage and receive. 

 What happens if you don’t use a reliable courier service? 

One of the problems as a business when you use a courier service is that your customers or clients won’t see you as separate businesses, and therefore if your courier lets you down, it is you and not the courier who your customer will feel has let them down. No matter how good the product or service, if delivery was later than expected, it will harm your reputation and can lead to poor customer reviews.  

In addition, delayed deliveries can also lead to damaged goods as the longer they are ‘en route’ the more susceptible they become to accidental damage, no matter how well they are packaged. 

So, how to choose the best courier service for your business? 

There are several ways you can work out who provides the best courier service

  • Make an enquiry and see how rapidly they respond. If you send an email and do not receive a reply within 24 hours, then you automatically know customer service is not a strength and they are not keen to get your business. 
  • Check online reviews and rather than concentrating on the good reviews, see why anyone has felt the need to leave a bad review. However, be careful as some people never leave a good review despite a good service, and some reviews are from competitors keen to damage the reputation of another courier service. 
  • Check to see if your courier offers a 24/7 availability. This lets you know your courier is prepared to go above and beyond what might normally be expected, especially for critical and urgent delivery services. 
  • Ask your courier about insurance and don’t be afraid to ask to see copies of any insurance documents. A reputable and professional courier service will be fully insured and in addition will operate in a manner that ensures secure handling of all deliveries. 

How does a fast courier service enhance customer experience? 

Providing a rapid delivery service to your customers and clients sends out a number of clear messages beyond the obvious. 

  • It underlines the fact you deliver on your promises and that if you say ‘delivery within 24 hours’, then you will receive delivery within that time frame. Consequently, if you make any claims about your products, these are also more likely to be true. 
  • A fast courier service lets your customers know that you matter to them and that you appreciate their need to receive their goods as swiftly as possible. 
  • A fast courier service lets your customers know you are keen to impress them and that their business is extremely important to you. Consequently, you will do all you can to keep their business, while also providing a highly reliable courier service as well.
