Send a parcel now!
Gone are the days of having to trundle down to the Post Office with your bulky parcel and having to hand over a wad of cash. The internet has contributed hugely to the competition between different parcel companies and has ultimately lowered the prices for consumers like you!
Not only is it usually cheaper to arrange your parcel delivery online with a courier other than Royal Mail, it’s also easier! They’ll come to your home or office to collect your parcel and then deliver it promptly. So no more having to queue for hours at the Post Office while the arrogent staff purposely waste time.
To be fair to Royal Mail, they’re still the cheapest and quickest way to send a regular letter. Thank goodness that you don’t have to queue up to buy the stamps or deliver it! Just buy your stamps from the local grocery store and pop that sucker into a letter box.
If you have a heavy or particularly large item then you can usually use the online measurement and cost calculator of the courier. This is a real bonus if you want to get an accurate cost for that item you just sold on ebay!
Another benefit of using a modern online courier service is that you usually get a signature from the recipient. If you sell online then this is an absolute must to protect yourself or your business from customers claiming they never received their purchase.
Online tracking usually comes as standard (you don’t have to pay extra like certain high street delivery services) which allow you to immediately see your packages current location.
