No matter how much time you spend trying to find the best courier in Atlanta, and how much time they spend trying to make sure that every delivery is made on time, things can still go wrong. Despite all the best laid plans, surprises can crop up and affect any delivery. This means that no matter how hard they try to make sure it doesn't happen, something could make your delivery late.
When this happens, courier companies are generally excellent about getting in touch with their clients right away. They will be sure to do this especially if the event that has occurred is going to delay your package by a significant amount of time. Small delays aren't usually addressed, because fluctuations in traffic, road conditions, and other accidents on the road can always play some role in how long a delivery takes to be made.
It is the other, larger disruptions to a delivery run which will usually prompt a courier to contact you right away. This could include any number of events which would make your delivery much later than it was scheduled to be. This could include a breakdown such as a flat tire or engine failure. It could also include the courier vehicle being involved in an accident.
Perhaps one of the most common reasons for a package to be delayed is the weather. A snowstorm can quickly completely shut down certain roads in the winter time and slow traffic to a standstill in cities. If you're shipping in any northern climate, this is not an uncommon reason for a package to be delayed.
If any of those larger events, or something worse, takes place, your courier company will generally contact you as soon as they are able. Modern communication keeps the driver pretty much in constant communication with the head dispatch office. Therefore, as soon as they know about the event that has occurred, you will be notified.
Of course, you don't always need to just wait for notification from a third party. Most couriers give you the ability to check your package's status online, where you could also easily be notified of any status updates such as something which was going to cause the package to be stuck in transit. Even if the status hasn't been updated, if GPS tracking is enabled and you see no movement over a prolonged period of time, you will know that something is delaying your shipment.
