The Rise & Staying Power of the Same Day Delivery Phenomenon
Just yesterday, my husband and I were busily fluffing out Christmas tree. Sure, I love real trees, but let’s be honest, spending $250 year after year gets old. Plus, and perhaps more importantly, I clearly like to get a jump on Christmas decorations. Mid-November is when I kick it into high gear. Why so early? Why not!? The festivity of the Christmas season is so joyful. And I absolutely LOVE watching the merriment dance in my children’s eyes.
Why the long back story? I promise it relates to same day deliveries DFW…! As we were prepping the tree, I mentioned how I wanted twinkling lights. Let it be noted: I do not want BLINKING lights. Twinkling lights are a different entity entirely.
And so my husband, knowing my affinity for the sparkly things in life, started searching. He found the perfect set. He added two strands to the cart, and the next things I hear is:
“Do I want same day delivery?! You bet I do!”
And there it is. We are consumers have grown to expect immediacy. Waiting has become a thing of the past (we can argue the benefits of drawbacks of this reality another time!). When I was growing up, if you ordered something from Sky Mall, it took weeks to arrive. We were accustomed to a delivery wait time. Flash forward to today… if people waited weeks on end for an item, they would hop on the app, cancel the delivery, demand a refund and write a scathing 0-star review.
The same day delivery phenomenon isn’t going anywhere. It’s here to stay, likely only to continue to shrink in the delivery window demand/expectation. People want things NOW, not later. If you’re a business, small, medium or international, you better have a same day delivery service cued up and ready to go in every one of your major operating areas. Why? Because when you need one… you NEED one.
Find the best. A same day courier service in Dallas is an extension of your brand. Sure, lots of people can deliver items same day. But, in this customer climate, loyalty goes a long way. Hire people to handle your same day deliveries who are friendly, uniformed, professional and expert at what they do.
Make sure they offer multiple services. Sure, today you just need a single delivery made within a 4-hour window. But what about tomorrow, next week or even next fiscal year? What if your business expands and suddenly you need a refrigerated delivery service in Dallas? What if you need a Dallas out of town delivery service? Better choose wisely. Choose someone who can grow with you.
Make sure the company has roots. It’s quite awful when a provider has an abrupt end. One day they are running the race and the next… they are bankrupt. Again, choose wisely. At Dallas Courier, we have 40+ years of local roots in DFW. We live here, we work here and we love it here!
