Postage
and Packing
Whether you are sending products to customer of an online store, documents to an
interstate office, tenders to a potential client, invoices and statements or any
number of other articles, you want to be sure that your packages get to the
right pace at the right time in the right condition. For non electronic sending, you can use the general
mail, express mail or a courier, or some variation of these. Which is the best
choice will depend on factors such as
- how quickly it has to get somewhere (a courier is
usually the fastest option)
- how fragile the item is (a specialised courier may
be required, but general mail probably isn't the best choice)
- whether you need proof of delivery (such through
registered mail or a courier)
- whether the destination is accessible
- the size or nature of the items
- cost - it may not make much difference to your
profits if you one letter costs $1 instead of $0.50 but it will soon add up if
you are sending many letters.

The other option for
deliveries that are close or need a reply is to use a taxi. Simply get a taxi to
come to your business and collect the item (s) and deliver them to a certain
address. They can even get a signature and return to you. This can be a great
time saver if the courier companies can't help you in the necessary time
frames...
