Local Express Delivery - Ecommerce Stores Offer Same Day Delivery

It's no surprise that these two industries meet.  The same day delivery and the ecommerce industry.  Consumers of ecommerce stores want the convenience and speed of the process and the courier service industry allows the online stores get their product in the hands of their consumers within hours.

Amazon announced in the middle of October, 2009 that they will be providing same day delivery service for those last minute shoppers in several cities in the United States.  They will be calling this service "Local Express Delivery", namely in seven cities, Baltimore, Boston, Las Vegas, New York, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington D. C.  It makes sense to offer this service nationally, doesn't it?  Why not Chicago, there are courier services in Chicago you know!

A company capable of doing this is Naparex, which provides same day delivery service to almost every location in the United States.

This type of service requires special logistics of contractor drivers.  These drivers are typically someone who has a social security number and a vehicle.  Whether be it a car, bicycle, truck or van, the courier service industry provides income for about a hundred thousand people in the United States.

Cities like Chicago are encouraging bicycle travel to help the planet, and package transportation is a key factor in this plan.  Mayor Daley is increasing the number of bicycles on the Chicago streets, thereby increasing the courier service business in the city with the Bike 2015 Plan.  This industry is capable of growth, with an increasing capability of resources.  People's desires to get products quicker and technologies provided by the ecommerce stores are providing for a new means for consumers to shop.

The process is quite simple.  A transaction is made and the order is sent to clients nearest warehouse location.  The client and the warehouse may be a few miles apart or a few hundred.  It doesn't matter, a courier service can still get the product in the hands of the customer in a very short time.  The order is then electronically dispatched to the courier service provider.

Once the same day delivery company receives the order, a dispatcher decided on the best method to use.  They typically have several resources available to them, such as using a commercial airline service, a local person with a van or bicycle messenger.  Sometimes a combination of two or three resources are required, and the time of deliver requirements typically dictate the methods used.

They can do this very quickly with the use of courier software and electronically dispatch their order with GPS tracking to the best available delivery driver.  Small signature capture devices enable electronic signature to be sent immediately to the sender and recipient, or perhaps an email directly to someone who forgot to send that birthday gift! 

At that time, the transaction is complete, a product researched, purchased and delivered within hours, sometimes minutes, without anybody ever speaking a word.

With the use of a traditional industries like the courier and airline industry and new technologies like the Internet & wireless communication, the entire shopping experience has completely changed.  Companies like Naparex are pioneering this change when two industries like transportation logistics and ecommerce converge.  For more information on Naparex providing same day deliveries for your ecommerce store, contact a representative at 1.866.577.1603.  Click the following link for information on how to choose a courier service.
