Recently, a customer who was sending their staff down to collect the mail from their PO Box each day asked us “why should they get a post office courier service ?” so the team here at Everyday Mail thought that we better go about answering this question.
Essentially there are many reasons why a business may engage a courier service to transport their mail from their PO Box to their business each day and the primary reason for this is to save time and money whilst allowing their staff to spend their time on more productive tasks. We thought however, we would focus on some of the not so obvious benefits of getting a post office courier service.
1) Staff are not required to carry heavy items to and from the post office which is inconvenient for many people
2) Did you know that if you are sending staff down to the post office each morning that this may be considered a work function and should there be an accident of any nature you may be liable for an expensive workers compensation claim?
3) Many time, particularly in the metropolitan areas the mail is collected early in the morning as staff members are catching public transport to and from the office. This can happen before the Post Office has completed their sorting of the mail and lead to items being missed, in particular express post items – click here to read more about this.
4) Your staff members may need to visit the Post Office multiple times as will be required to purchase stationary such as Express Post or Registered Post envelopes. A courier service can complete these tasks for you at no additional charge – click here to read more about this.
5) Your Post Office Courier Service can act as an intermediary between your business and the Post Office making it easier to deal with lost items or special requests – click here to read more about this
6) Even if your business only sends out the odd bulk mail lodgement, you can arrange for ad hoc services which are far more convenient than sending staff members on multiple trips to and from the Post Office – Click here to read more about this.
