Courier services and shipment companies are hard to control. Most companies are so dependent upon them for the profitable running of their business that they end up feeling trampled on as promises aren't kept, deadlines are missed and shipments are lost. Many companies switch services repeatedly looking for a company or courier service that will actually do what they say they will do!
If you find yourself scraping the bottom of the barrel after trying traditional shipment services and moving on from there to corporate courier services and individual courier services and more...only to find you're still looking...you aren't alone. Too often businesses dependent upon accurate time estimates for deliveries are discouraged by the lack of fulfillment on promised timelines for shipment delivery. And worse...too many find themselves desperate to please disgruntled partners or clients after a shipment is "lost in the system." What does that even mean? It sounds ridiculous, but you'd be surprised by the prevalence of packages never delivered, but found sitting in a warehouse somewhere. You can accept that bad things are going to happen. You can tell yourself that shipping problems are inevitable and move on from there. You can throw a temper tantrum. You can do everything you can to rectify the negative effects of the shipping problems on your clientele and other business relationships. Or you can rectify the situation entirely with a parcel management service like ParcelSavings.com. They handle refund requests for their clients in response to mismanaged, undelivered or inaccurately delivered shipments. Take for example a same day courier service. What's the point if your same day courier service doesn't even complete the delivery on the same day? The service was not fulfilled as promised. So it's only logical that an same day delivery that isn't delivered on the same day should not be charged as same day service. But unless someone is right on top of the process...it will be. Parcel Savings ensures that this type of situation is not left unattended. Any undelivered shipment is due a full refund. Any shipment that does meet the deadline as agreed upon is due a refund or discounted pricing. Any mishandling or delivery delay is due a refund/discount. And that is what Parcel Savings handles for its clients. They monitor your shipping activity and handle the entire refund request process.
Best of all...Parcel Savings offers their services without monthly or annual or set up fees. The only payment they receive for their services is a percentage of the amount they acquire for your company in refunds. Now that's something worth taking advantage of; not only do their services not come out of your budget, but they're going to be lowering your shipping costs by getting you the refunds and discounts you deserve. |
