                     How To Get Your Parcels On Time
If you buy a lot of goods online you are probably very well aware of how frustrating it may be to miss the
delivery of your goods due to being at work during the time when they are delivered. For most of us 
though this is seemingly an insurmountable problem as it is simply not viable to take a day off work or 
even an afternoon off work for what can be a relatively low-value item that is being delivered e.g. The 
value of the parcel is not worth losing a day wages for.
On top of that problem, how most of us have ever waited in all day for a parcel to be delivered, only to 
find it never arrives and be told that you are going to have to wait the next day to await its delivery. This 
is never uncommon and around Christmas time you might have a minimum choice but to take another 
day off to await the delivery of the parcel if it's a present for someone.
So what should you do to ensure your parcel is delivered if you are in, or even while you are out?
Well, the first thing to do is to actually go through the delivery policy of the company that you are 
purchasing your goods from as dependent on the shipping method and/or parcel courier they use, you 
may choose to order elsewhere or not.
This is because a good parcel courier should now have in place a raft of measures, which are designed to
help you get your parcel delivery on time the first time delivery, is attempted.
One thing to consider in a parcel courier is what delivery slots are being offered to you e.g. are you 
experiencing to wait the whole day? Or are you being offered a two or four-hour window, meaning that 
perhaps you can take a couple of hours off work to be in for the delivery?
Will you get an email the day before delivery reminding you of the delivery time and date? Will you get a
text message on the day of the delivery informing you of your time slot or possibly a phone call an hour 
prior to delivery? These are many of the measures being put in place by good parcel couriers to make 
sure that you get your parcels on time.
