Couriers Ensure Prompt, Secure Delivery

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

The genus of the United Kingdom same-day courier market stems from the London Taxi companies but soon expanded into dedicated motorcycle dispatch riders with the taxi companies setting up separate arms to their companies to cover the courier work. During the late 1970s small provincial and regional companies were popping up throughout the country. 

The courier services are distinguished from ordinary mail services by the unique features they offer customers, like speed, security, tracking, signature, specialization and individualization of express services, and their swift delivery times. Most of these features tend to be optional for most everyday mail services. Courier companies offering these premium services are usually more expensive than standard mail services, and their use is normally limited to customers with packages important enough to warrant the extra cost. Today, there are many large companies offering next-day courier services

There are many ‘specialist’ couriers available, usually for the transportation of items such as freight/palettes, sensitive documents and liquids. When you’re ordering something online, making sure you have a trustworthy courier is essential. Couriers in London are very reliable.

The ‘Man & Van’ or freelance courier business model is a popular one throughout the United Kingdom, where there are thousands of independent couriers and localized companies, all providing next-day and same day services. This business popularity is probably because only a car and driver is required to be involved in transporting the lucrative number of items sent within the UK every day. 

With the dawn of the electronic age, there was a large change in the way some businesses use couriers. Prior to email and the ability to create PDFs, the sending of documents represented a significant proportion of the courier business. In recent years, documentation revenues for couriers have decreased by fifty percent. Additionally, customers are now demanding more services and support from their courier partners. 

There has been a customer shift to using the services of larger courier services who are able to provide more flexibility and levels of service leading to a new level of courier company, the regional couriers. These usually result from when one of the local companies expands their offices in order to cover more area.

Royal Mail, offering next day and special delivery services, was a competitor in the overall courier market. While economic shifts are also impacting them, it can be difficult to draw a clear-cut line between the postal services and the courier services.
