Couriers Can Save the Day

Knowing the right couriers could help you to meet a looming deadline.

Need an emergency delivery? Whether you use couriers regularly or not, there will be times when you need to call someone who can handle an urgent delivery. Local couriers are handy, but if your delivery needs to go further afield, you need a firm with an instant national reach.

DAKS Couriers is that one unique firm in Uganda.

Booking Your Urgent Delivery

By their nature, urgent deliveries are last-minute affairs. Everyone who runs a business knows that there are times when you need to ship a sample to a customer over the weekend, scramble to get an order out on time or send important paperwork to your advisers. When you're in that position, you need:

• Reliable couriers to call - you don't want to waste time looking for couriers in the local directory. Instead, you want to have a courier service to hand that you know is reliable. You need a company that can collect on a 24/7 basis and responds quickly to your call.
• All the information - when you call, it helps if you have all the information to hand. Your couriers want to collect and deliver the package as soon as possible, so they'll need to know exactly where to collect from, what sort of package they are collecting and exactly where it's going, together with a contact name for delivery. Have all the information ready when you call so that things can move quickly.
• Payment - if you have an account with a firm of couriers, you can put your urgent delivery onto that account. If you're using the couriers for the first time, or you haven't yet set up an account, make sure your couriers accept local credit or cash. That way, you don't have to worry about wasting time setting up and account there and then - just pay straight away so your delivery can get moving.

Finding a courier that can handle urgent deliveries could be vital to your business. A good courier can save the day, so make sure you find a firm you can establish a good working relationship with so that when you need that emergency dash, you have someone to help you out. It's worth taking the time to find those couriers now, because when it's time to deliver that critical package, you'll need a quick response and a reliable company.
