T here are many reasons to use a professional courier. Couriers are an important link in the global economy and without

the services they offer, individuals or businesses cannot ensure that important documents reach the desired destinations at specifi ed times.

Courier companies offer the opportunity to make sure that time sensitive documents and important parcels reach their destinations on time as well as in the same condition in which they left.

A courier offers peace of mind and will take your shipment, large or small, and ship it to wherever it needs to go, in the most effi cient, safest, and most budget conscious manner.

They provide an extensive range of services, and you can, as standard, utilise GPS tracking to keep tabs on your delivery, which is optional for most everyday mail services.

This, of course, means you pay a premium - couriers are usually more expensive than typical mail services -

but you get what you pay for. There is more to this than you initially

thought, hey?

LEADING PLAYERNow we have established the vital role the courier plays, which one should you choose? It is a tough question. There are many different services out there, from those offered by the international, well-known brands, all the way down to smaller, local players.

Courierit is a local whiz in express airfreight distribution. It specialises in express/courier document and parcel services nationally through branches in all major centres in South Africa.
