-- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Well here at Worldwide Parcels we don’t think that statement is true at all. That is because Parcel Couriers fall in to three different market sectors – Local parcel couriers, nationwide parcel couriers and International parcel couriers, and we know from our industry experience that they all have their own strengths and weaknesses.

We know that what might be ideal for one shipment may not be for another. This is because if you are shipping goods abroad then parcel courier rates can vary considerably between delivery firms. This is because one courier may have a strong presence in one country but not in another, and then they may sub-contract the work out, thus adding cost on to your bill and risk on to the delivery.

We aim to avoid this as our unique approach enables us to always offer you the best pricing, as we are able to pick and choose the best parcel courier for the job rather than using a “One size fits all” approach that a lot of companies do.

Here at Worldwide Parcel services we achieve this by regularly monitoring which courier companies are offering the best rates in relation to the end destination, and we update our online pricing accordingly, so that we can assure you that you are always getting the best rate when booking a collection online.

As an example we believe that if you only need to ship a parcel a few miles that a local courier is best suited to the job and not an International one. Likewise we think that if you are shipping a parcel to another continent then it would be unwise to use a local courier who will sub-contract out a large element of the delivery, adding on cost and more importantly, risk of the parcel getting mislaid.

Worldwide Parcel services strive to ensure that we always offer you the most suitable parcel delivery company to get the parcel to its end destination. Simply put we aim to take the pain out of choosing the right courier, and our rates are updated regularly so that the price you get quoted online should be the best available for that destination.

Our quotes even tell you which parcel courier will be shipping your goods, and we can do this as we have confidence that we are always offering the lowest shipping rates, as due to our huge buying power we have set up bulk discounts with a number of very large parcel companies, both nationally and Internationally, which in turn enables us to offer their parcel courier services to you at a discounted rate that is a far lower cost than if you were to go direct to the courier. Hence we do not hide which parcel courier will be handling your shipment like some companies do, as we have confidence in our rates.

This means you can always be assured that we have picked the lowest cost parcel courier for the job, as we monitor shipping rates and amend our online prices daily as required.

We believe Worldwide Parcel services approach is unique in this aspect, and combined with our unique instant online quotation service we believe we offer a World class online solution when it comes to Parcel Couriers. So try us for a truly one-stop shop shipping solution.
