Want to know how you can save a packet (ouch), by using an
online parcel courier service in preference to Royal Mail?
Now for things like standard cards and letters, Royal Mail
is still likely to be your cheapest option – even with the recent price hikes. But
if you want to send an item weighing over 750g, then it is worth shopping
around, because there will more than likely be a cheaper alternative available
to you. And from 1kg and upwards, there will definitely be a more viable option
in terms of price.
I don’t know about you, but my main post office is situated
bang in the centre of the village, directly opposite a Pelican Crossing, so
parking nearby is a big no-no. Which is fine if you just want to send a letter
abroad or get a packet weighed, but not so handy when you’re lugging lumpy parcels
around.
And apart from the queues (which are an inevitable fact of
life these days), when did you last manage to dodge in and out of the post
office without being asked if you want home insurance/ life insurance/ a credit
card balance transfer/ mobile phone top up/ broadband/ transfer your utility
services provider – have I missed anything?
Oh yes, stamps. They do stamps
apparently.
So using a courier broker to despatch your parcels safely to
their destination will save you a ton of time as well as cash in the future.
Particularly if you tend to send off parcels several times a week as many
businesses do.
This is even better news if you run your own business from
home – in my opinion there never seems to be enough hours in the day as it is.
So by effectively outsourcing your parcel deliveries you can spend more time
working on your business and less time working in your business – it’s what all
successful entrepreneurs do apparently.
Incidentally, if you are sending over 10 parcels a week, you
may want to do a little research, because a little birdie tells me there could
be cash bonuses to be had. You’ll definitely want to check this out . . .
So book your next parcel courier delivery service from the
comfort of your computer (or mobile) – and kiss goodbye to all that wasted time
standing in line at the post office.
Plus, your courier company won’t try to sell you life
insurance. Promise!
