Whether it’s a matter of size or time, your parcel delivery can be customised down to the last detail. When you hire a dedicated driver, you get so many more options than when you’re working with large postal companies. Here are some of the common delivery options and what you can expect with each:
Same day deliveryLocal or same day deliveries are ideal for those occasions when you know you’re going to be stuck at work all day, and need a gift, work documents, or any other type of parcel delivered. You can ask your delivery person to pick up the parcel from anywhere, whether it’s your home, workplace, or the shopping centre. Then they’ll deliver it to its destination as quickly as possible. Alternatively, if you have a parcel for you that needs to be picked up from a store, your delivery provider can pick it up on your behalf and deliver it to your home or workplace for you.
Express deliveryIf you have a parcel you need to deliver urgently, you’ll need to request an express delivery. Express services are generally used for late-notice items that can be picked up and delivered easily. Your delivery person can pick up the parcel at any location and time, and deliver it directly to its destination, with no other stops along the way.
Fragile parcelsIf you have cake, flowers, a computer product or anything fragile that needs to be delivered, your delivery person will take extra care in making sure your parcel makes it to its destination in one piece. They may bring bubble wrap the items or use extra boxes to ensure the parcel isn’t damaged or squashed during the delivery process.
Large parcelsLarge or heavy parcels, like furniture or wardrobes, can also be delivered. Your delivery driver may bring a ute or truck so that the parcel can be delivered safely. If you’ve purchased the product from a store like Fantastic Furniture or Freedom Furniture, you can request your delivery person to pick up the products directly from the store.
Multiple parcelsIf you’re going to be away for special events like Christmas, Easter, or graduations, you may want to send off your parcels to multiple addresses. Your delivery person will take note of all the different delivery locations and their respective parcels, and plan their route to deliver each item promptly.
