Questions to Ask Your Courier Service



Choosing a DFW Courier Service isn’t always as easy as a simple google search. Especially if you’re a small business owner, there’s a lot for you to consider. At the end of the day – courier services will essentially be an extension of your services, so it’s important that whomever you choose fits your needs.


Today, we’re going to share a few questions for you to ponder when choosing a courier service so that you get the best possible results for your business. Let’s jump right in.


What kind of services does the company specialize in?

Not all courier services are created equally and courier companies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They also may specialize in a certain area more than another. So for example, if you’re a healthcare provider, then it might be worth it for you to pursue a service that specializes in healthcare. Whatever your needs are – try to match them up with a high level service that your prospective courier company provides.


What options are available to you?

Not only do courier services specialize in specific kinds of deliveries, but they also offer a wide range of actual services – whether it’s same day, 24 hours, holiday delivery and the like. Make sure that whatever your needs are, that the courier company you’re proposing to do business with offers the service you need.


Experience, licenses and the like

Not only do courier services have a wide range of services and specialties, they also have varying degrees of expertise and experience. Particularly if your needs are high-risk like medical or lab deliveries; you’ll want to make sure your service provider is not only experienced in that area, but that it’s drivers are properly trained and licensed to handle those services. And even if you’re not in a high-risk field; it’s important to remember that couriers are essentially an extension of your business. Their drivers in a way – are your drivers – so make sure the service they provide is buttoned-up and professional.


How is the business run?

Does the courier service you’re talking to have enough staff? How much control and transparency is there with regards to your being able to monitor deliveries? How quick do they respond to calls? How big is their delivery fleet? While you don’t need to get too into the weeds, it’s important to understand the depth and capabilities of the courier service you’re about to do business with.
