When shipping something to India from the UK, you will want to use couriers that care, offer security, tracking, different services and offer benefits. This may mean doing some research before sending that package so that you choose the right one for your needs.
Security
Couriers have changed and offer a lot more security than they ever did before. Instead of someone just showing up at your door and mentioning the company they are with, you will have information about the person and a detailed photograph so that you can see who you will be dealing when they pick up your package. The same information is given to the recipient of your package so that they may easily recognize who is at their doorstep.
Background checks and training are also provided to couriers before they are allowed to do anything and the vehicles used have alarms on them to ward off the threat of theft. Surveillance is also used wherever possible.
Tracking is provided to those who use courier services so that anything shipped from India to the UK is always safe. You will have many opportunities to track the package all the way from the UK to India. In some cases, you will be provided with information via email or text as to when your package arrives at its destination and in all ports up to the destination.
Services
Though most couriers deliver packages, documents and messages they will ship dangerous goods, medication food and even offer removal and packing services, excess baggage shipping and warehouse and distribution.
Benefits
The benefits of using couriers are many and include reliability, speed, personalization, no weight limits and they provide you with information.
Though it is up to you whether you want regular text or email messages, most people want to be kept updated about their shipment and most couriers will provide this. They can either send an email or text and the frequency of these alerts are set up by you when you use their service.
There are also no weight limits when you use couriers. While traveling by airline, you are restricted to only one or two bags with little weight, but with a courier service, you can ship something that weighs a ton or is as light as paper. This means that even your smallest and largest shipments can be done by couriers.
