There is enormous variety in the provision of international courier services in the UK and this can sometimes make finding the right one a daunting task.
Suppliers range from multi-billion pound international corporations to one-man-band freight agents and everything in between.
The choice can sometimes be rather bewlidering for a company that just wants to send items overseas with the minimum of fuss and expence and the maximum of tracking, insurance, and peace of mind. Sounds so simple right?
The easiest thing is often perceived as simply using one of the biggest names in the industry, that way no-one gets criticised when things go wrong!
However, anecdotal evidence tells us again and again that the biggest are not necessarily the best and also they often turn out to be the most expensive (theyve got to pay for those global televised advertising campaigns somehow!). The problem is that, whilst the saying You get what you pay for is usually right, in terms of service it isnt always the case as big brands think they can charge you the earth and get away with a lesser service.
Therefore, in finding the bset international courier company it is often best to partner an independent expert.
International Courier consultants research and evaluate the vast majority of the international courier companies in the UK even across the globe. They spent time benchmarking rates, conducting surveys and relentlessly seeking the best courier companies.
They seek those that are truly passionate about customer service, those that tend to keep their clients for 10+ years, and above all, those that offer the mosr competative rates.
The best part of using an International Courier consultant is that they are usually free to use because they take an introducers fee from the supplier that you agree to use. There is no fee to pay the consultant and you are under no obligation to use their recommendation should you decide they arent right for you.
Using an independent consultant can often make life easier for you in terms of looking for the right International Courier company for your business and they can help you focus on other matters like running your company and looking after incoming revenue whilst they find you the best deal.
