If you want to eliminate a lot of the stress and anxiety that can come from shipping your products with a courier company, then you should make sure that you have opted to receive instant proofs of delivery. Any Northwest Arkansas courier who has put the latest courier technology in place should by now have the ability to provide you with these real time proof of delivery notifications immediately after they have placed your cargo in your client's hands.
They do this by using the wireless handheld devices that couriers now carry when they make their deliveries. These machines allow the drivers to do several things. The most important is that they are able to electronically capture the signature of the person that receives your package. This is important verification for legal purposes in case there is ever any dispute about your package being received at a later date.
Sometimes, someone will call you up after you have shipped your goods to them and claim that they never received their package. This doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it can be an embarrassing, or even costly event for your company. However, if you have a policy of always being sent delivery notifications, you will have legal proof that your delivery was successfully made and signed for. This can be valuable protection in the case of a dispute.
The nice thing about the new technology is all of the wireless interconnectivity. This means that you don't have to wait for anything to be printed or mailed to you. Right after that signature is captured, the driver can upload the file to the courier software. You are then emailed a delivery notification so that you will instantly know that your delivery is complete and that an appropriate person has taken possession of the package that you shipped.
The technology has now gotten to a point where it has been adopted almost universally across the courier industry. It is widespread enough now that you have every right to be suspect of a company that does not offer this to you as one of their service options. Some companies may choose to offer it free with every delivery, while others may have it as a selectable option, and that is fine. What you want to look out for are the companies which don't offer this type of notification at all, as it shows that they are falling behind the times in the courier industry.
