Q. What is a Dedicated Courier?
A. There are several types of courier service available, so ensure you know which one you need for your delivery. If you need to transport a particularly fragile, important or valuable item, you may decide to use a dedicated courier service. This is similar to a same day courier service, but your goods will be transported on a dedicated vehicle containing no other loads. The driver will collect and deliver the goods directly. Dedicated courier services are completely secure, as your goods are not transferred from one vehicle to another or left unattended in a depot. Some larger courier companies offer online tracking services for you to monitor the delivery. Others send SMS, email or fax updates.
