In the vast expanse of the internet, we are spoilt for choice. If you’re searching for a delivery service, this can often be overwhelming, especially if you’re looking for once-off parcel delivery.
It’s hard to know what the right price is, how many quotes you need to compare, and how quickly a parcel truck should be able to deliver your goods. Certain things to keep in mind when searching for the right delivery partner.
Know what you are looking for
When organizing a delivery, ensure you know what you need before you start looking. This will help you narrow down the field.
Consider the following before you start researching:
- The delivery vehicle type: do you need a parcel truck, or is a motorcycle enough? The size of your parcel will help you decide.
- Your delivery time and frequency: do you need a one-off, same-day delivery or a regular weekly delivery? This is important, and consider how much you’re willing to pay for speedier service.
Do your research
Now that you’ve answered those basic questions, you have a framework for filtering your research.
As you’re researching, read customer reviews and check how long the company has been in business – an organization with 30 years of success as a trucking company versus someone just starting will provide very different service experiences.
Check their communication
A company with good communication is essential; you want to know they’re easy to chat with if something goes wrong. Research each company’s:
- Social media accounts: ensure they are active and see if customers have commented on their posts.
- Customer service channels: check that there is a phone number that you can call.
Shop around
While doing research for a parcel truck delivery service might seem boring, getting at least three quotes is likely to save you money.
As you’re comparing the prices, make sure you look at their other services – not just the end-to-end delivery but also the:
- have real-time GPS tracking
