What to check before hiring a delivery / courier

For inter-county deliveries, confirm in advance that the courier knows the route and there are no access restrictions at the destination.
Describe the parcel accurately: dimensions, weight, and whether it's fragile — this way the courier comes prepared with the right vehicle.
Provide complete addresses with street, number, building, floor, and phone number for both sender and recipient.
Ask the courier to notify you 15–30 minutes before arrival so you're available at the address.
For urgent deliveries in {city}, contact the courier at least one hour in advance to ensure availability.
If you're a small business with regular deliveries, negotiate a fixed monthly price — it's more economical than per-trip pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if a parcel is lost or damaged?

Discuss liability for loss or damage with the courier beforehand. Some independent couriers offer insurance for valuable parcels, but not all do.

How long does a delivery within the same city take?

City deliveries typically take between 30 minutes and 3 hours, depending on traffic and the distance between points. Express deliveries can be completed in under an hour.

Can fragile items be delivered (flowers, cakes, glassware)?

Yes, many independent couriers specialize in or have experience with fragile item delivery. It's important to specify the nature of the item when placing the order.

What maximum dimensions and weights are accepted?

This depends on the courier's vehicle type. Motorcycle or bicycle couriers accept small parcels (up to 5 kg), car couriers up to 20–30 kg, and van or pickup couriers can handle large goods too.

Can I request a courier to pay for the order at the shop?

Yes, many independent couriers offer 'cash on pickup' services — they pay for the goods at the shop and deliver them to you, and you reimburse them plus the courier fee.

What happens if the recipient isn't home?

Couriers typically try to contact the recipient by phone before delivery. If unsuccessful, they may leave the parcel with a neighbor or at an agreed location, or schedule a second delivery attempt.
