Slippery when wet!

Warning! This product contains ___________.

Consumers in 2023 are so used to warning labels, I fear we ignore most of them. Warning labels were instituted with the purpose of protecting consumers from harm. It kind of reminds me of when doctors take the Hippocratic oath which states that a physician, first and foremost, will do no harm to his/her patients. Well, product manufacturers, vendors across industries, service providers – they all have their own form of the Hippocratic oath. And it’s regulated by the national government: warning labels that first began in 1937 in an effort to alert consumers of ingredients in food products.

Let’s turn our attention from products to services, specifically the logistics industry, shall we?  On demand deliveries Dallas don’t come in a bottle with a warning label or ingredients list. But if you ask me, I sure wish they would!

If I had a nickel for every time someone contacted Dallas Courier with a logistics horror story from a fly-by-night provider… I’d have shipping containers full of nickels! So here is my consumer warning for you all: BUYER BEWARE. Beware of what? Let me tell you:

1.       Beware of pop-up shops. Goodness gracious. If you see that a company has zero longevity in an area, BEWARE! When demand increases, pop-up shops do, too. Most of the time, these pop-ups are short-lived because they came for the fast money instead of the long-term, faithful provider option. If you have urgent on demand  same day delivery Dallas needs, go to someone who has stood the test of time. Take Dallas Courier for example. We’ve been here for 40 years… definitely not pop-up!

2.       Beware the too good to be true price. Oh my! The old adage is true: you can always find somebody cheaper. But you might live to regret it! If price is your only litmus test for hiring a delivery service, yikes! Cheap service, cheap results. At Dallas Courier, our on demand deliveries Dallas rates are fair and reliable.

3.       Beware poor customer service. If the people taking your order are rude, what does that say about the friendliness of the people hired to handle your delivery? Poor customer service means poor management means poor outcomes for you.

4.       Beware a lame website! Why does a website matter for Dallas on demand deliveries? Well, a website speaks to a company’s pursuit of excellence and growth. A lame website means the company doesn’t keep up with the times. Can’t place online orders? No app? No real-time tracking? That’s some 1980s stuff right there. You better choose a logistics company operating in 2023 and not 1983. At Dallas Courier, we stay ahead of the technology curve. We believe our customers deserve the best in logistics and that means technological advances that keep up with the times. And yet, with all of our advances, we still put people first. We train our drivers and customer service staff to put friendliness and professionalism first. You’ll notice the difference when you hire us.

I hope my warning label helps you in choosing a logistics solution for you. Whether you have a one-time on demand delivery need or a long-term logistics need – contact us today. You’ll be glad you did.
