Business in Los Angeles, both large and small, may need to use a variety of different options to send hard copy documents and small packages to customers, clients or other businesses. When time is not an issue, using the post office may be an acceptable choice and one of the lowest cost options to consider.
However, many of the types of letters and packages may contain confidential or important documents that need to be delivered same day. You may also need to get packages on a flight or perhaps have them sent outside of Los Angeles. For these types of issues, using a multinational type of delivery service is an option, but there is often limited ability to arrange for pick-up or to ask for any specialized services.
The Solution
The answer to this issue is to use a professional messenger service. These companies will have full-time employees as couriers that ensure your packages and documents are managed and secured during the delivery.
A top messenger service will have a variety of delivery options based on your needs. For busy downtown and short-distance deliveries, bike couriers are an ideal option. Longer deliveries are completed by vehicle, with some companies offering full delivery of packages of any size and weight.
Look for a company that can coordinate flights to get your package to areas outside of the city for your requested delivery date. Some couriers will even provide next flight services, which is an excellent option for time sensitive materials.
Works When You Do
If you are business doesn’t operate just from nine to five then your messenger service shouldn’t either. By working with a 24-hour courier, you can schedule your deliveries to match your schedule and needs, often beating your competition and their courier service.
While this may not seem like a big difference, it is to your customers. When your packages arrive on time, and as expected, it is a positive reflection on your business and your commitment to your customers.
