The Value of Same Day Delivery

Same day delivery is a hot topic recently, but not all companies can compete in this market. A lot of companies are looking to offer same day delivery but they may be making empty promises. 

Amazon recently did a study that showed that simply offering same day delivery boosted conversion of sales from 20 to 25%. This is a great stat. They offer 90 minutes delivery time or you can choose a one hour time frame for delivery. 

Amazon ships from large warehouses in metro areas and uses FedEx or UPS for most of its deliveries. With this model it is nearly impossible for them to make a 90 minute delivery because these mail services ship in bulk.

Then the question of whether same-day delivery is even necessary comes up. There are many cases where you need the item right now. Maybe you're sick and need a prescription from the pharmacy, a last minute gift or maybe you need tickets delivered for an event you're going to tonight!

There are many ways that you need quick courier service to make your life easier. We're here to help.

2013 Global Courier and Delivery Services Report is in!

The Global Courier and Delivery Services Report from IBISWorld for 2013 is in!

The report explores new trends in the industry and forecasts the next 5 years. It expresses the "stagnant growth" of the past 5 years due to the recession in 2009, but shows a positive outlook on the future, including a 1.4% increase in revenue per year.

Couriers deliver various items like boxes, packages, letters, and many more. The increase in e-commerce is good news for the courier industry, according to the report. It will benefit all delivery services including the smaller companies by the increased demand for goods utilizing quick courier services. The fuel costs will start to level out as well, which is good for both suppliers and consumers.
