Next flight out and hand carry shipping services are often associated with emergency need. For example, if you need to deliver a package to corporate headquarters out of state before offices open the next business day, you may opt for next flight out delivery. However, these shipping options can be useful even if you’re not on an emergency timeline. Here’s a look at when these specialized shipping services from Xcel Delivery may be most beneficial for your business.
You need optimal flexibility for your shipments.
With traditional shipping options, you’re left at the whim of the day’s last carrier pickup at a given location. With next flight out delivery, your package can get on the next commercial flight to your destination—the last flight out of the airport is likely much later than the last pickup from most shipping carriers, so you’ll have more flexibility if you need to work outside of traditional business hours.
You’re shipping exceptionally precious cargo.
When you need to move rare items like antiques, autographed musical instruments, or exclusive media, you simply cannot gamble with the potential for a damaged or misplaced package. In these situations, hand carry delivery service will ensure that hard-to-replace items will be treated with white glove service for their entire journey.
Your package needs to clear customs quickly.
If you do business internationally, it may be helpful to know that hand carry shipments are typically taken as carry-on items, so they’re cleared as accompanied baggage in customs rather than cargo shipments. This means that you might save days or even weeks on customs clearance.
Whether you simply don’t have time for conventional shipping options or you’re in the business of shipping rare and valuable items, Xcel Delivery is here for you with hand carry and next flight out delivery services in Phoenix, AZ.
