When the goods you want to be collected are high-value, sentimental or fragile urgent deliveries, the gravity of choosing what courier to go with increases tenfold.

With so many to choose from, selecting the right courier service may feel like a daunting task. When the goods you want to be collected are high-value, sentimental or fragile urgent deliveries, the gravity of choosing what courier to go with increases tenfold. When placing your items in the hands of your courier, you want to be sure that they are reputable and experienced. The first step for understanding the DNA of any company is checking its online presence and reviews, if they operate at a high standard, this will reflect in its online presence.

For urgent document delivery, legal couriers, estate agents wanting to courier house keys and other important time-sensitive consignments, it is best to go with a company that delivers direct, has an exemplary online presence and offers a dedicated service. The headlines are filled with stories of larger courier companies discarding of high value, often times important or confidential deliveries, in unsafe and potentially dangerous places. These stories damage trust in the industry and affect the way many people view urgent courier services, favouring some times to spend precious time out of their day and miles on the road to take their urgent same-day deliveries, themselves as opposed to even risking losing their items with a courier. Fortunately, the follies of others propel the few and some urgent same-day couriers have used this lack of competence from the competition, to carve out their place in the market.

How do you find out if a courier is right for you?

Check reviews; opt for a company that offers a ‘white glove’ service over a co-loading or multi-drop service. Choosing a company with verified extensive expertise can be the difference in getting your items on time or losing your urgent documents, medical delivery, pallets or IT equipment.

Speak to someone; often times it is easier for companies to filter all of their customer queries online. If you call a company and they ask you to email your query or simply come off the phone and go to their website. It may suggest a lack of ownership and can be detrimental if anything goes wrong with the delivery. Waiting for your last-minute stock delivery or an urgent legal document courier, the last thing you want is to be waiting for an email to tell you where your goods are. Choosing a courier that has someone you can speak to from start to finish may be paramount to a good courier experience.

Buy cheap, buy twice; Many people have misconceptions regarding the price it should cost to book a same-day courier service. With larger companies and fulfilment centres processing orders for cheap, low-cost delivery, it can be easy to misinterpret just what you are receiving for these bargain prices. For a low-cost item, it may be just as well to get your item taken on a 2-5 day 400-mile journey for under £10. Companies achieve this because they load up a van with literally 100s of customers’ items to maximise profit for a journey. However, if you have a time-sensitive delivery of high-value, confidential or sentimental goods, often times choosing a low-cost service may risk costing you more. You don’t want to lose your items, you don’t have to go through the hassle of losing and having to email someone repeatedly to find your important delivery, and you pay more for that peace of mind.
