Same Day Deliveries vs. Two Day Deliveries

Courier deliveries are oftentimes done on an economy 2-day and next day service. But what about those deliveries that require same day service? When is it worth the extra cost to get your package to its destination as soon as possible?

Well, the truth is there are many businesses that function on a time crunch. Sometimes decisions need to be made quickly and at the last minute. So, while it’s not ideal, emergency deliveries can be scheduled to save your business or project from possible disaster.

For instance, if you send a contract to an office across the city, that needs to be returned with a wet ink signature asap, same day service is only delivery option that will meet all of your requirements. Or, let’s say you’re working on a project and forget a key component back at the warehouse. A courier can pickup and deliver that final necessary piece utilizing our same day emergency service. Because if missing a deadline means losing business or pushing the completion of a project, an emergency courier can keep you on track and save you money in the long run.

Same day deliveries also means shorter delivery time, which reduces the chances of loss or damage. SMEX 24/7 doesn’t let other networks take over our packages once they’re out of your hands. In situations where same delivery is required, we prefer to manage goods and products ourselves throughout the entire trip. For that reason you’ll never have to worry about your packages being handled by third party companies. Because if the security and safety of your package is compromised, then the whole point of purchasing premium service is negated.

But same day service doesn’t always mean a business is trying to avoid an emergency. There are many offices that only use courier services for immediate delivery and pickup. An executive might send checks or other private and sensitive materials to her/his business manager or accountant only by courier because of the security of same day pickup and delivery.

The more common, less expensive service is our two day delivery option. Two day service is available for those who want fast service but don’t have time sensitive materials that require immediate attention.

SMEX 24/7 keeps the delivery process simple. Once your booking is arranged, a driver picks up your package in an agreed upon vehicle (4-door, van, or cargo truck) at an agreed upon day and time. For same day delivery, your package stays in the same transport vehicle, and with the same driver throughout the entire trip. You’ll also receive an instant confirmation email upon delivery, complete with a copy of the intended recipient’s signature.

Customers can save money when a courier company is thoughtful and honest about the nature of the delivery. That’s why we have a range of options. You’ll save money if you have a flexible window of time because then operations can be scheduled around multiple deliveries. But, as we’ve pointed out before, if a situation arises where it will save you a major headache and money to arrange an immediate same delivery, SMEX 24/7 Messenger Service has premium courier service available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
