Choosing an International Courier Service

 

1 - Look for a reliable international courier with good customer satisfaction ratings. You want a company that provides prompt service to all major regions, is affordable and offers a variety of options such as express overseas delivery.

 

2 - Visit your local post office to research its international courier services. Confirm that the post office can handle all kinds of deliveries including fragile, heavy, ADR, high value and technical packages.

 

3 - Consider an Internet based international courier that lets the customer enter shipping details, calculate postage, pay online and print a shipping label. These companies will then send a representative to you to pick up the package.

 

4 - Search for international couriers in the phone book, newspaper, and Internet. Compare some of the larger, well-known international couriers such as FedEx and DHL. Call or visit the company to obtain information about rates, services and delivery options.

 

5- Choose an international courier that offers low international taxes and customs rates, including low import duties. Select a service that also provides package insurance and tracking options.

How does Courier Service Work?

 

Ok..let get started

Courier services are used by a myriad of businesses and organizations, including doctors, lawyers, automotive repair shops and other offices and hospitals. A courier service can be lucrative if all of the vehicles are kept in good shape and prices are kept in line with gas prices and maintenance costs.

A courier service provides delivery services for businesses, and might have an account with a business, or it may have businesses call them "on the spot" for a one-time delivery. A business that uses a courier service frequently will usually set up an account with the courier service. The courier service will then bill the business according to the terms of the contract signed between the two entities.

Courier services generally have at least 3 or 4 drivers. When a call comes in, the job is assigned to the next available driver. If there is no driver available, the dispatcher will advise the business when the first driver will be available. The dispatcher will then call the driver closest to being done with his current job, and send him immediately on the new job.

A courier service sometimes hires employees who driver their own vehicles. The courier service then is generally not responsible for vehicle maintenance, but may give the employee extra money to go towards vehicle service. Independent couriers (who work as contractors) are always responsible for their own vehicle maintenance and gas, but they can charge a courier service accordingly.

No matter which way the courier service is set up, if it stays on top of employees and vehicle maintenance, it can be a very lucrative business. The money received from the business helps pay overhead, and what is left over goes into the capital account.

Logistics Vs Transportions

 

What do we understand about this two words?

Two of the most important sectors that help move a country's economy are logistics and transportation. Both are important cogs in the wheels of economy since they help bring in and distribute goods and materials. For example, if there is shortage of wheat and rice in Malaysia or Vietnam, other South Asian nations can help in providing supplies to satisfy the need.

Logistics and transportation are two words closely related to each other. As a matter of fact, with the example given previously, both processes are done hand in hand. But the question is can one really survive without the other? Or is there no absolute difference between the two and that both logistics and transportation are referring to the same entity?

Transportation refers to the means of distributing goods, supplies, resources, information, people, and energy from the original point to the destination point using any of the five modes of transport: animal-drive, air, road, rail, and water, or a combination thereof. Since transportation is concerned only with moving the supplies, someone has to take care of handing, packaging, managing the time the goods are fetched and delivered, and maintaining coordination, especially when inter-modal or a combination of two or more transport modes is used. That's when logistics comes in.

Logistics is defined as the process of managing goods, supplies, resources, information, people, and even energy from the source to the user. Any country can testify how important logistics is for its health. Logistics is not just a company that gets your airmails delivered promptly. Logistics is found in every department of a government, from the military to health agency, from education to infrastructure agency, and of course, the time-conscious world of commerce. This application of logistics is more popularly known as business logistics.

Business logistics, unlike military logistics where the concern is focused more on speed and quantity, is more concentrated on delivering the exact item, at the ideal time and place, at an ideal price, using an efficient amount of energy, man power, and financial resource. It is the business of most couriers in the world.

While most couriers have their own vehicles, such as air planes, ocean jets, trucks, and ferries, it is not really necessary for business logisticians to have their own means of transportation. In cases like this, trucking or shipping service providers are hired to distribute the commodities.

For example, in sending goods to a country where air travel is not available, the courier gets the services of a shipping company, and additionally, a trucker to help in delivering the goods once the ship has arrived. The courier has the responsibility to choose which ship and truck provides the fastest yet efficient handling of the supplies. A courier might also need a place of storage or a warehouse company, especially when there is a need to stock the goods while waiting for the trucker. Most shipping companies, however, do have their own warehouses.

Just lately, truckers and shipping companies have begun adapting logistics as part of their business operation. This raises the question then as to which service to avail of when sending goods. Should one go for logistics or transportation companies?

Whether one chooses logistics over transportation, the answer will have no difference. See, even transport companies employ logistics to their business operations. Both indeed must go hand in hand in order to achieve secure and efficient delivery goods.
