So your boss, who's over one thousand miles away, forgot something that he desperately needs for the regional managers meeting. His part of the presentation is scheduled for tomorrow at eleven A.M., and without this material a very important part of the presentation regarding the future of your particular branch will most certainly flop. The question is - can you get the material to him in enough time for him to seamlessly step in and give his part of the presentation?
The answer is yes, but only if you use a reliable form of overnight shipping.
How they do it
Many courier delivery companies and national shipping chains offer guaranteed overnight shipping all over the continental US and many offer it to the bulk of North America. These companies can make this promise with confidence and fulfill it with a very high success rate do the type of vehicles they have at their companys disposal.
Virtually all national shipping chains and many courier delivery services and freight companies not only have fleets of trucks, trailers and cargo vans on the road, but many of them have their very own freight carrying planes that are all constantly on the move to ensure that parcels make it to their destination by the required time.
If you ship a parcel via priority overnight shipping from one end of the country to the other or on a trans-continental journey it will likely take a ride on at least one, if not more planes and on any number of different road vehicles before it ultimately arrives at its destination.
How they keep track of it
With all of the equally important packages crossing paths at sorting centers and warehouses nation wide, its a wonder that the courier services can accurately keep everything going where its supposed to go and have it get there at the right time.
Many courier services, especially the nationally recognized overnight shipping companies have the latest high tech gadgets and computer software to ensure timely delivery of all of the parcels that they are responsible for.
Shipping labels are generated with one hundred percent unique barcodes for identification, contained within those barcodes is all of the information pertinent to the shipment - where the package originated from, what its ultimate destination is, what time its due at its destination and all of the information of the locations its been in between the two points. Delivery service, warehouse sorters and parcel loaders all have scanners to read the barcodes on the parcels to ensure that the package makes it to the appropriate conveyor, then the appropriate vehicle and finally to the appropriate address of the recipient.
Of course, there are more restrictions and limitations on overnight shipped packages than there are on standard shipped ones. The time and item is ready for pick up, its overall size, its weight and its exact destination may all have a bearing on whether or not your parcel can be shipped via overnight shipping. Some courier delivery services only offer overnight shipping in some very specific circumstances.
Before choosing a carrier for shipping an item that needs to be at its destination by the next day, youll want to be certain of all of the company guarantees. If they cant offer you an iron clad guarantee that your item will be where it needs to be by the time that it needs to be there then you need to find a company that can.
Overnight shipping will certainly cost you more than standard shipping, in some cases the shipping costs quite a bit more, but if your parcel absolutely, positively has to be at its destination by a certain time the next day - the guarantee of overnight shipping becomes worth every penny.
