When Should You Hire a Courier for Hand-Carry Services?

Sometimes, traditional methods of delivery just won’t do. If the situation calls for it, you may want to hire a professional courier to hand-deliver your package to its destination. You may be wondering how you can tell when this is truly necessary. Here are some instances in which you should at least consider using a courier for delivery. 

You have legal documents to transport. 

In some cases, you may have legal documents or items that are simply too sensitive to be entrusted to the postal service. For example, if you need to mail a passport, a birth certificate, or a legal contract, then you may want to use a courier rather than simply mailing it. This will help to ensure that it arrives in a timely manner. 

You have valuable items to ship. 

If you have valuable jewelry, an antique instrument, or something else of value, then you may want to use hand-carry services to deliver it. While you can insure a valuable item when mailing it, some items are truly irreplaceable. Using a courier will provide you with greater peace of mind when you’re transporting a valuable item. 

You want to ensure fast delivery. 

Hand-carry services are the best way to ensure that an item gets delivered according to your preferred schedule. Hand-carried items stay with the courier at all times, and they can be delivered as fast as the courier can travel. If you’re on a tight schedule and want to make sure that your item doesn’t get held up during the shipping process, then a courier is the way to go.
