Pressbox (Press Release) -
1. Local courier services will go a long way in customer service because they are on the same network.
The best customer service is the way to differentiate yourself from the competition. When customers feel that you appreciate them, they will definitely come back.
When you hire a large company, you have a large network of drivers. These drivers probably don’t care much about the experience of the delivery recipient. It's just another part of your long, busy day.
2. Local courier services can offer custom technology tailored to your industry.
A local delivery service can offer services you wouldn't otherwise be able to provide, such as overnight or same-day delivery and real-time tracking. A local company can take the time to get to know you, determine what your needs are, and customize a solution so that you only pay for the tools and features your business actually uses. This saves a lot of time and money.
3. You'll save time by using a local delivery service that knows your market.
Managing deliveries is a huge, long and never-ending project. This requires constant monitoring of driver performance, schedules, vehicle maintenance, etc.
Hiring a local courier service maximizes this time saving. They know the area well and can easily navigate all the side streets, side roads and highways. They know where and when traffic is heaviest and which roads are not immediately clear during a snowstorm. This detailed knowledge makes it easier to plan the most efficient routes for your delivery schedule. As a result, they can make more deliveries faster, which translates into more revenue for their business, reduced labor costs, and of course, the added benefit of happy customers.
4. You can benefit from personalized delivery assistance.
In some cases, a local delivery service can even help with warehousing and storage. They can store items in an accessible location, allowing you to quickly move them to their destination. This also has the effect of freeing up space in your own warehouse or warehouse.
5. You will contribute to the local economy and work with local drivers.
