We live in a digital age where we can do pretty much anything online – particularly shopping. As well as the retail giants providing online shopping services, small businesses launching e-commerce sites and individuals who go it alone by using their own eBay stores also provide web-based purchasing. As these small businesses and eBay shops grow in popularity, their goods fly off the virtual shelves – which is brilliant except for the fact they need delivering on-time!

If you have a small online business or eBay shop and are struggling to cope whilst handling deliveries then here are 5 reasons why a courier service, like Speed Couriers, could work for you.

1. If you sell time sensitive products which need to reach the recipient by a certain date you can opt for a same or next day delivery courier service. This is popular for items such as event tickets, which will be useless if not delivered in time.

2. Many people worry about the reliability of courier services, no one wants their goods to go missing in transit. Real-time tracking systems allow you to track your parcel throughout its journey to its intended destination – which makes the delivery as safe as it would be on your backseat.

3. Sometimes you need to deliver heavy items, which can be problematic if you go-it-alone and struggle to carry the item. Couriers will do the delivering and collecting for you, meaning you don’t have to risk injuring or straining yourself.

4. From time-to-time you may need to send confidential or sensitive information to somewhere out of your driving distance. Couriers enable you to do this securely, with vetted drivers ensuring the confidential gets from A to B safely and securely.

5. Here at Speed Couriers you can always be sure you and your recipient are greeted with a friendly smile. We understand customer service goes along way, so not only do our friendly drivers put a smile on your face, they also reflect well on your business too!
