In recent years the world has become a noticeably smaller place with the internet providing instant communication across the globe. These days you can find almost anything you could ever want online and have it delivered to your doorstep without having to get out of your armchair. Online courier companies also provide you with the ability to send almost anything to any location, again without you needing to do much more than simply hand your parcel to the courier when they arrive to collect it.
The best means of sending a parcel, though, really does depend on what you're sending and how quickly you need it to arrive. Knowing a little about the most commonly used methods of delivery should make selecting the best service for you that little bit easier.
Traditional postal services, such as the UK's Royal Mail, still represent the most cost effective means of sending letters and small parcels (generally anything under 2kg) overseas. You could find yourself losing out in other areas though. There will be no guarantee as to how long a delivery might take, and you won't be able to track your parcel's progress towards its destination.
In comparison, cheap courier services, of which there are an ever increasing number online, tend to provide a much more rounded service. You ought to find that a courier offers a comprehensive range of express and economy services to practically any location around the world. Additional benefits will include deliveries that require a signature, real-time tracking and a pro-active approach to resolving issues and delays.
We have more options open to us than ever before. Knowing just a little about what is on offer before making a choice should lead to a much better service and can even mean you save a few pounds along the way.
