How can you select a trustworthy courier service for your business?

If your business offers its customers delivery services, then there's no overstating how important it is to hire a good delivery partner.   But how do you choose a delivery partner that you can trust?   Here's what you need to know about a responsible and reliable delivery or courier company. A good courier company will strive to do the following:

• Build a collaborative relationship with their customers and gain a thorough understanding of their needs and requirements.
• Maintain open lines of communication and ensure that you know when deliveries have been picked up, transported, and delivered.
• Ensure timely delivery along with verified delivery confirmations, so you know that your goods have been delivered on-time and to the right person.
• Take additional safety and verification steps such as securing a signature upon delivery to ensure that your goods arrive to the intended party every time.
• Alert you and give an acceptable reason in the event of a failed delivery.
• Require that all fragile items be packaged accordingly and secure packages within the delivery vehicle to reduce the chance of damage during transportation.
• Inform you if the delivery vehicle has been delayed due to poor road conditions, construction, traffic accidents, or bad weather.
• Demonstrate comprehensive training of all delivery drivers to ensure that they are representing your company in the best light possible.
• Keep a well-maintained fleet of delivery vehicles to ensure road safety and reliability.
