Choose Best Courier Services

When you have goods or package will send to any place in around the world you might consider what is the best courier will send your package to destination you want to. There are many various couriers companies you will find in your region may be, or you have ever got some offerings about courier services through some media such as emails, sales letters, social media, or marketer call you directly to give clearly explanation of their services.

However, you have to realize that all most marketers will always give you the good of their company or service to get your worth attention then hopefully you consider to use their service or buy their product. The actually you have to give more attention is what the expertise they have to ensure your package to be going to destination with a good condition, in time delivery, and easy to track your package alert while your package in the way.

Here I will give the list of things that you may consider when you willing to send a package for especially to abroad destination:
  1. The agent for each city or country. Credibility agent of each country is sometimes different with the head office. This based on my experience in last time ago. Our buyer sent a package through a courier, our buyer then informed us these shipment when the package already in the way and they also informed us its Air waybill. Then I tried to track the package status, surprisingly I didn't find out the branch office in my country and even person in charge in handling the package until somebody called me to inform the notice of arrival of the package. In that time I asked to them " where is actually their office in this country or our city?" Then they only gave us a personal phone number to follow up the package or shipment. Therefore, you have to chose a courier with a fixed agent that having a clearly address.
  2. Tracking online system. The tracking online system is part of the most important things to provide by any courier company to make easy for both customers or shippers and courier company on tracking and manage various of shipments. By this tracking online system a customer or sender or receiver can easily follow up the status shipment any time and any where by real. He or she doesn't needs to contact the customer service for just knowing where her or his package is to be, just type the web address and put the Air Waybill number to get the last update of the package.
  3. Proactive in giving information. Proactively give any information about our shipment and anything happened that will impact to our package is one factor in making our trust. I have ever used various couriers to arrange various shipment to another countries in the globe. There is a courier that provides a service that when our package already in delivered status or has received by consignee they will automatically send me a notice concerning these receiving. Additionally, they always let me know of any news that impact to a shipment such as government regulation of both from origin and destination, a typhoon and various news that useful for me and of course, for my shipment.
  4. Helping. This is one thing that you may consider for choosing a courier to arrange your shipment. If we regularly send package to around the world, might be you have ever  faced an unsatisfying condition to one of your shipment, for instance, the shipping documents was not complete that impacted you could not received you package until you fulfilled the documents required. A good customer service will assists you to solve these problem till everything to be clear and finally you can receive the package smoothly. If your package is in a big amount or weight this will takes to a high storage fee on you. The storage rate is counting per charge weight per day. Therefore, the short time in clearance a package is will be better in saving your money.
  5. Customer satisfied. The short way to know what is the credibility of any courier is by asking to anyone that ever used its service. This way mostly that I ever done to look for a courier to ensure I prefer a courier service that will makes me confidence to arrange my shipment. You may ask to your friends or you clients of their experiences to their shipments. The information usually consisting the name, its service, the delivery time, and also the price or rate.
  6. The best price and discount. After you consider those five things listed then you may also consider the price offer and the discount. The best price and the discount will be given to a customer when he or she can be a member or after had an account for her or his shipment on both export and import. By giving your permission to be a member of any courier they assumed you has a regular shipment for each period of time or monthly.
As a conclusion, before you decide a courier company that will arrange your shipment better you check their expertise and experiences in handling various shipments that ever handled. Those six things listed above is quite enough to check a courier company that will makes you confidence on giving your package to them.
