2 . Courier Services Overview

The basic definition of “courier” is simply someone who delivers something from one place to another place. A courier is a messenger, conveying something of importance from the sending source to the receiving source. Within this definitive context, couriers and courier services can come in many different types and styles. In past times, before there were vehicles, couriers were usually just individual messengers, who traveled from one place to another to deliver news, documents, or products. Examples of this were the courier services of medieval times, which were one or more people who delivered messages or goods on horseback, or the famous pony express riders, who relayed messages or goods across the United States by passing them along from rider to rider until they reached their destination. Stage coaches were also used by courier services, as well as trains after they started coming into regular use. As time progressed and the age of technology set in, courier services began to use vehicles such as automobiles, modern trains, and airplanes. Suddenly the words “overnight” and “express” were starting to be used on a regular basis by courier services. Where once it would have taken days, weeks, or months for documents or products to be delivered, suddenly it was all becoming much more streamlined. Running a company that provided courier services was also becoming a lucrative prospect.

3 . Types of courier services in Georgia

There are as many different types of courier services as there are ways to carry messages, documents, and products. Of course, one permanently established courier service is the postal service. There are very few places in the world where mail cannot be delivered by the postal services of the various countries, especially with ever improving modern technology. The postal service is always a government run courier agency, however.

There are also many other large established privately run courier services, most of which now offer not only ground courier service, but express and overnight service. These large companies ship packages and documents all over the world – usually they can deliver any shipment that the post office in Georgia can deliver.

Courier services do not have to be on a global scale, nor do they have to be only for packages and documents. In many large cities, there are courier services that actually use individual people that carry documents and messages across town. “Bike messengers” in New York City are a good example of this. When one company in Georgia needs papers signed by someone in one of their across-town offices or by someone in another company, and the papers can’t be faxed for some reason, or it is not papers but a package, a bike messenger can be sent. These messengers will race across town to deliver the goods from one place to another.

4 . Standard courier services

The standard courier services that most of us are familiar with are the ones that can involve shipping to places all over the world. These companies have processes and steps that they take to make sure that documents and packages get safely and securely from one place to another. Though from the consumer’s point of view the process of sending documents or packages is pretty straightforward – you give something to the courier service and it arrives where you send it – the actual process is much more involved. For instance, when you bring a package to a large courier service, the first thing that they will do is take down the pertinent information. The name of the person or company that you are sending the package to will be printed out and placed on the package, with a shipping number for tracking purposes. Your name and address will also be placed on the package. The courier service will document information on the package weight, and charges will be applied accordingly. Most packages are automatically insured up to a certain amount, but you can insure it for more if what you are sending is more valuable than that. If you do need more insurance, then an extra charge will probably be added to the shipping price. The price will also be adjusted according to how fast you would like the package to arrive at its destination. Overnight and express shipping will, of course, cost more. Once all of this is determined, the package is then sent by truck, and if necessary, by plane also.
