Should You Choose a Courier Based on Price?
As a small business owner, it is tempting to choose the cheapest courier you can find.
But is the cheapest Courier always the best choice?
Not necessarily.
When choosing a courier for you business , don't look at price alone. Look at the value you are getting for that price.
Ask yourself:
๐ฆ Will they deliver my parcel safely?
๐ฐ๏ธ Will they deliver when promised?
๐Do they cover the areas my customers are in?
๐Can I easily communicate with them?
โ
Can I get proof or confirmation of delivery?
๐ค Will they handle my customers professionally?
Saving Ksh 100 on delivery means very little if your customers receives the parcel late, damaged or not at all.
Your courier is part of customer experience.
So don't ask only:
"How cheap is the Courier?"
Ask:
""What value am I getting for what I'm paying?"
For Small business, the right courier should help you save time, protect your reputation and keep you customers satisfied.
Choose Value, Not just lowest price.
