Same Day Deliveries Get the Spotlight in 2020
This is a year of change.
Families are changing the way they manage their households. Customers are changing their preferences. Organizations are changing the way they manage. And couriers are changing the way we deliver.
Of course, there are some things about the delivery process that won’t change. At Dallas Courier, you can still count on:
Friendly service
Fully bonded and insured drivers
Safe transportation practices
24/7 accessibility
Pandemic or not, we’re committed to our founding principles of honesty and integrity that have carried us with success for the last four decades. But we’re not too proud to modify our business model when we see an opportunity to meet the needs of our customers.
It’s become clear that in 2020, customers need same day deliveries.
You might argue that same day deliveries have always been a “thing”. It’s true. We’ve been offering our on demand services since we opened our doors in 1982, but now, more than ever, customers are counting on fast, immediate deliveries.
Why the increase in same day deliveries in 2020?
Have you ever been on vacation and realized you forgot something important? That’s every businessperson in 2020. With most folks working from home, unable to access the office easily or sometimes at all, this year is one big vacation where you forgot important things. (Without the tropical setting and relaxation, of course.) Folks are requesting delivery of their important equipment, technology, and even their desks and ergonomic chairs!
As employees settle in to their home offices, they’re also learning how tough it is to communicate with each other. Your coworkers aren’t just down the hallway anymore! Now, when important paperwork, technology, or projects need to move from one person to another, and quickly, it has to be packed up and transported. Instead of spending their own time and energy, successful DFW businesses are outsourcing these “interoffice” deliveries to bonded, insured professionals like Dallas Courier. When your corporate communication can’t wait, a same day delivery between residences is your best bet.
Same day deliveries for personal reasons are also increasing due to the pandemic. More folks are adopting the “Stay home, stay safe” motto. Dallas Courier is delivering personal items, gifts, and more for individuals so they can maintain social distance from others. Our couriers can even transport personal deliveries to and from residences utilizing contactless delivery methods, further promoting a safe transport of your items.
What types of same day deliveries are most requested?
Pandemic or not, Dallas Courier is still transporting everything, everywhere. We’re still utilizing vans and trucks, both dry and refrigerated. Our operations remain 24/7, which means your urgent deliveries move within the same day, sometimes in as little as 45 minutes.
With the rise in eCommerce, Dallas Courier is transporting more final mile deliveries, getting products purchased online directly into the hands of customers. Our couriers are also trained and certified in HIPAA and OHSA standards, which means we can transport time sensitive medical supplies, lab specimens, and prescriptions- directly to your home.
Speaking of the home, that’s where more customers are requesting their deliveries these days. Thankfully, Dallas Courier offers both commercial and residential deliveries. Our vehicles range from large trucks for long distance travel to vehicles small enough to maneuver residential neighborhoods and downtown Dallas parking garages. Our couriers are equipped with lifts and hand trucks to make safely moving your items a breeze. We even offer white glove services and set up, which are both conducted utilizing CDC approved social distancing measures.
