subject: Don't Let Your Parcels to Australia Boomerang Back To Their Sender [print this page] Many UK families have relatives or even family friends who now live abroad, either travelling for work or simply to enjoy a different way of life (and the more favourable weather!). Staying in touch has been made a lot easier these days with emails replacing the letters we used to have to send which could have taken weeks to arrive. Now we can send emails with the click of a button knowing they arrive almost instantly thanks to today's faster internet connections.
But obviously there will sometimes be items that we can't send in an email, including physical items such as birthday presents or important documents. There might also be things that our contact requires sending that they have forgotten in the mad rush to pack all their possessions when moving. Sending these items to your friend or relative will require arranging a parcel delivery, and making sure it arrives quickly and safely should be top of your list of priorities.
Demand for sending parcels abroad is growing rapidly, and if you want to make sure you get the best level of service then you should choose the best company for the job: a courier.
Couriers have been around for many years and have typically been used by big companies and organisations which need to ship items quickly and securely. In recent years as more people are sending and receiving parcels the cost of using a courier service has reduced, making it more appealing and available to individuals like you who are looking to send parcels across the world but do not want to compromise on the level of service they receive.
There are many people who have used a courier in recent years and been happy with the level of services they receive. These can include a door to door service where the courier will collect the parcel from you at home or work, and a detailed parcel tracking system. This tracking facility shows in great detail where your parcel is on its journey, and keeps you informed - often a bone of contention when it comes to sending as well as receiving parcels.
Postal worker strikes have in many cases made a courier service preferable to the regular mail service to avoid any possibility of consignments getting caught up in postal worker strikes. So if you have relatives or friends living down under then why not send them a parcel to show you're still thinking of them - they're sure to appreciate it.
