Common Issues With Courier Deliveries

You’ve likely heard your fair share of horror stories concerning courier deliveries, and with a large number of unfulfilled or poorly organised deliveries posing problems in The United Kingdom every single day, the importance of a reliable courier service cannot be underestimated. Whether you’re searching for a service to have that particular valuable item delivered, or you want some additional general information, allow Speedy Couriers to take you through the details in this informative blog post. 

Significant Delays 

Delays can occur for a number of reasons, be it an issue with the suppliers, to logistical issues, especially prominent if products are being imported from overseas. We would always advise you to choose a courier that’s well known for having a good knowledge of dealing with imported products, and experience with customs in an ideal world. Though these delays are often not preventable, experienced couriers are more likely to notice any potential issues that will arise with shipments.

A Costly Service

Expense is a big issue in many instances, with some couriers charging a premium for delivery to certain locations, delivery of particular products or other stipulations. One great way to avoid paying too much for a service is to look for couriers who offer bespoke solutions. Aim to receive a competitive quote from each courier you’re considering, to avoid wasting time and money. As a rule, Speedy Couriers always aim to keep prices as low as possible throughout the process, and we’re always receptive to your needs. 

Limited Tracking Updates

Some teams, including Speedy Couriers, are able to offer complete tracking for your parcels and packages, with a lack of live updates a thing of the past when you opt for us. When couriers can’t track a package or shipment, it becomes extremely difficult to determine how long it would take to get from one point to another, which is an issue, as customers expect full transparency. We don’t leave those we work with in the dark, with live updates a formality. 



Noticeable Damage

From prominent damage to minor issues which become major when you realise your order doesn’t function as expected, to avoid your goods arriving at their destination in an unacceptable condition, the best thing you can do is work with a reputable courier. Each and every item should be packed safely and securely so that nothing is damaged or lost during the delivery, and our experienced team are always reliable when safeguarding goods for transit.
