Courier Services
About the heading Courier Services in Yellow Pages®
A courier service is a business that delivers messages, packages, and mail. Couriers are distinguished from ordinary mail services by features such as speed, security, tracking, signature, and specialisation and individualisation of express services, as well as faster delivery times. Because they provide a premium service, couriers may be more expensive than usual mail services.
Courier services can deliver most items including satchels, packages, machinery, or computers etc. Some courier services specialise in the express intercity deliveries of documents and satchels. Couriers working for these companies often ride bicycles or motorcycles in order to achieve the shortest turnaround times. Other services couriers might offer include 24 hour emergency services, weekend services, express and general services, and freight and shipping services.
Couriers can provide services for both individuals and commercial clients and can deliver Australia wide, with some couriers offering international services. There are also courier services which use employees to travel as airline passengers in order to transport documents quickly and easily through the Customs office of a country. Though technology has replaced many traditional uses of the courier service, there still exists a constant need to transport physical goods and documents over both short and long distances as quickly as possible. Courier services are located in cities, metropolitan and some regional areas. If you are looking for information on courier services look under this heading in Yellow Pages®.
