Ancient
India used traditional ways to communicate over long distances such as pigeons
and eagles. These methods took longer time and also were not very certain of
the messages to be delivered. Later on messengers were used who rode on
horses and camels to deliver confidential messages across states and provinces.
Thankfully, the british introduced the postal service in time to let us know
the easier methods for communication.
The
technology may have taken over today,
but people still prefer secured postal
services or courier services for the delivery of their essential documents and
goods such as forms, legal documents confidential brochures and parcels etc.
These are the best and most secure methods of delivery and have been a great
support to the rising and growing ecommerce industry as well.
Speed
post and courier services may be very similar ways of delivering, however, they
still have many differences between them.
While speed post unanimously delivers all across the world, it depends
upon the range and strength of courier
services that if their delivery services
would work within national boundaries or also internationally.
The
speed post being a government service, is unavailable on sundays; however, the
courier services being a private entity is available 24*7. This is one of the very important
distinguishing factor as these services are mostly used in cases of urgent
deliveries and emergencies. Sundays, although being the weekend, still hold a
lot of relevance to many organisations and individuals in the matter of courier
delivery.
One
of the most important aspect of courier services is the express cargo delivery service. This service is not available with
the postal service and therefore suffers a great deal because of it. Courier
services have notched up their quality with the cargo delivery services as
these are one of the most on demand and popular requirement. With the variety
and versatile modus operandi courier services seem to have taken oner the
postal services by a long way.
