FAQs

Why should we use your courier service?

We care! We demonstrate this every day by our proven track record of consistently being on-time for same day on-demand deliveries and almost 100% for scheduled deliveries. Our couriers are well trained and uniformed and our dispatchers and customer service reps are always available to meet your needs. We are fully insured with “A” rated insurance carriers for your protection and confidence. Dallas Courier goes the extra mile, from successfully completing the final mile delivery of your important cargo to additional white glove service options, we make your delivery process personal and pleasant.

What geographic areas do you serve?

The majority of our same day deliveries are within the greater Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

We also offer out of town deliveries that have us traveling to cities outside of DFW and to other states. We will either deliver or pick-up packages for our clients in cities like Austin, Tyler, Houston, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Memphis and beyond. 


How much do you charge for your same day deliveries?

Our delivery rates are determined based on two major factors: distance and time. For example, the mileage for a delivery going from downtown Dallas to downtown Ft. Worth is far greater than the mileage for a delivery going from downtown Dallas to North Dallas. Therefore, the Ft. Worth delivery will be priced higher. Time is the other major pricing factor. The cost of a one hour delivery is greater than the cost of a four hour delivery. We factor in both elements to come up with a fair price for our customers. 

 

I have had couriers come to my office looking like they just fell out of bed or worse. What can I expect of your couriers?

As your courier company, we are a direct extension of your organization's brand. We ensure that our couriers are professionally attired. The standard uniform is a logo embroidered dark blue shirt with khaki pants.

If I have an emergency delivery come up in the middle of the night and I call your main number, will a person answer the phone?

Yes. We answer our phone and make deliveries 24 hours a day. If you do get a recorder it means the after hours dispatcher is on the phone with another client. Leave your name and number and he/she will get back to you in less than five minutes.
