Yes, you need your pick up now. Yes, your client is waiting. Yes, a lot is on line with submitting your proposal for a national bid. Yes, your boss is asking you have you delivered it yet. Yes, there are many reasons to be under pressure. Yes, there are many reasons to be in a hurry. With so much at stake, it is still true that accuracy is better than speed when placing your order.
There is no reason for such an important delivery to go wrong because the courier was given the wrong address. This certainly has happened. A particular client provided all the information needed, yet gave the wrong address and contact information for the pick up location. The contact there had no idea a courier was coming and stated they had nothing for our courier to pick up. Not only that, when we attempted to contact the client, their voice mail was not set up, therefore, we could not leave a message. This is all a part of being accurate with a courier.
Here are a 5 tips to being accurate with a courier:
1. Make sure you have all correct pick up and destination information. You may need to get this order completed, however, if you are not sure about any information, take the time to make sure it is correct (i.e. suite number).
2. Speak clearly when communicating your order. This will help the courier take your order without errors. Also, spell out any names if necessary.
3. Provide all and any additional contacts. This is crucial because it gives the courier someone to contact in case they are having issues locating an address or to simply let the person know they have arrived.
4. Immediately review your order confirmation. If you see any errors in the pick up and/or destination information, you can contact the courier to resolve.
5. Answer your phone. If you are responsible for placing the order for a courier, make yourself available that day and stay near your phone. Also, make sure your voice mail is working.
