All Same Day Couriers are the Same: False

This is a myth about the same day courier industry for many reasons, each of which is explained in the list below.

Time:

Myth:
Not every same day delivery service company has courier services available at the same times. Many courier services may only deliver during regular business hours; others may slightly skew their hours off from regular hours, such as a 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. or 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule.

Fact:
With Reliable couriers’ same day delivery services, you can have a package couriered whenever you need it, as our delivery drivers are available to make deliveries 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and on holidays.

Speed:

Myth:
As a same day courier service, you would think this means that you will receive your package on the same day; however, every same day courier service’s definition of a same day delivery is different. This is an important question to ask before committing to a service.

Fact:
At Reliable couriers, when we say same day courier services, we mean same day and faster! From the time you place your order until the moment it is delivered, we guarantee it will be there in under 24 hours. We also offer even faster shipping services such as rush, one-hour, overnight, and next flight out services.

Vehicles:

Myth:
All courier services have every type of vehicle available is also another false assumption. Some courier services may only have sedans and cargo vans available in an area, and in some areas, no vehicles at all.

Fact:
Reliable couriers have a large fleet of vehicles available in every state in the country. Our fleet contains scooters, bikes, sedans, SUVs, vans, cargo vans, box trucks, box height box trucks, and box trucks with lift gates. No matter what size vehicle you need, Reliable couriers can accommodate your delivery.

Industries:

Myth:
The last assumption is that all same day courier services service all industries. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as not all same day delivery companies properly train and have their couriers certified to complete deliveries in special industries.

Fact:
With Reliable couriers, our delivery drivers are properly vetted with background checks, drug tests, and an entry quiz to qualify for a position in our company. The couriers are then put through protocol training and certification classes for OSHA, HIPAA, and more. This allows our drivers to safely complete proper protocols across all industries, from medical and legal, to trade work and manufacturing.

Same Day courier Services are Expensive: False

Myth:
Not all same day courier services are expensive. Just like with all industries, cost varies from company to company and relies on a number of factors; where you are located, what type of service you need, and more.

Fact:
Reliable couriers’ charges are simple and have no hidden charges or fees. We base our delivery costs on the speed of the delivery, the distance of the delivery, and the size of the vehicle necessary to safely and properly transport your package.

Consumers Do Not Want Things Immediately: False

 

Myth:
Consumers, in fact, do want their deliveries as quickly as possible. A recent study found that 80% of all online shoppers want and expect a same-day delivery option at checkout.

Fact:
Reliable couriers work with all industries, businesses, and e-commerce companies to provide their customers with the fastest shipping and delivery service possible.

Late Deliveries have a Marginal Impact on Your Business: True

 

Myth:
Having a delivery completed late by a same day courier service can not only affect that consumer but the rest of your company as well if they leave a poor review or this becomes a recurrence with your same day delivery company.

Fact:
Reliable couriers regularly works with and partner with businesses and companies and ensure the success of your company with on-time deliveries every time.

Same Day couriers are not reliable: False

 

Myth:
Depending on the courier you choose, same day delivery services should, in fact, be more reliable than same day shipping companies depending upon how they conduct their services. If the same day courier service ships similar to that of larger shipping companies that do not offer same-day deliveries, you then risk your package being lost or damaged. This is primarily due to the fact that these services combine all of their pickup and deliveries into a vehicle where they can easily be swapped with another delivery or be jostled around among the other packages.

Fact:
When shipping with Reliable couriers, your package is the only pickup and delivery job that the courier will have. Our couriers only handle one package at a time to eliminate the possibility of it being lost or damaged completely. The couriers also save you time with your deliveries by couriering this way, as they are going directly from the pickup location to the drop off location.
