Keeping Your Courier Services in Line?

Courier services and shipment companies are hard to control. Most companies are so dependent upon them for the profitable running of their business that they end up feeling trampled on as promises aren’t kept, deadlines are missed and shipments are lost. Many companies switch services repeatedly looking for a company or courier service that will actually do what they say they will do!

Many businesses access the use of couriers and courier services in addition to the traditional shipping methods. But what happens when you arrange to have something delivered no later than 10 am and courier service fails to meet the deadline? What happens when a package is put in the system, but never actually delivered?

For many it is an unavoidable inconvenience. It’s something that may be cause for a quick temper tantrum, but it quickly moves on from there to a frantic scramble to rectify the situation caused by the lost package. This type of situation can be better solved by the use of UPS in combination with the addition of a parcel management service like ParcelSavings.com to aid shipping departments in monitoring deliveries.

Take for example a same day courier service. What’s the point if your same day courier service doesn’t even complete the delivery on the same day? The service was not fulfilled as promised. So it’s only logical that an same day delivery that isn’t delivered on the same day should not be charged as same day service. But unless someone is right on top of the process…it will be. Parcel Savings ensures that this type of situation is not left unattended.

If a shipment is not delivered Parcel Savings handles the refund request process. If a shipment deadline is not met Parcel Savings handles the refund request process. Any shipment that is not handled properly or delivered on the promised time line is due a refund or discount. Parcel Savings ensures that your company will receive these refunds and discounts without dealing with any of the hassle yourself.

And you get all that without any out of pocket costs. The only cost of having Parcel Savings handle your refund requests and monitor your shipping activity is a percentage of the refunds that you receive through their efforts. Depending upon the amount of packages you scheduled shipped weekly you could see $1,000’s in refunds weekly. It’s a great way to increase company profitability.
