Hi and welcome, it’s always a pleasure to write to you/meet your acquaintance. This week we’ll be talking about – Pick Up’s & Drop Off’s in online Courier Delivery. Since the inception of online package/courier delivery, pick up’s and drop off’s have always been at the beginning and end of a delivery process. It entails the provision of an address by the client/customer showing a location where the parcel/package will be picked up as well as a location where the parcel/package will be dropped off.
In the past, the sender would have to drop his or her parcel/package off at the courier office and upon delivery (say to another state), the recipient would have to go and claim his or her parcel/package at the branch of the courier office that is domiciled in the recipient’s location. But thanks to online courier delivery, things have been made easier and more convenient. One of the very important aspects of an online courier delivery is pick up and drop off address, as this helps to record a smooth and successful delivery process. Often times, in the process of inputting the details of our delivery requests during an online delivery process, we mix-up or even omit either our pick up or drop off address. This in turn makes it difficult to have a smooth package delivery.
However, this is not an issue anymore as we at Swifno(www.swifno.com) have built a feature in the Swifno(www.swifno.com) Mobile App that prompts you to input your pick up and drop off address, before you can complete your delivery request and then submit for our couriers to come and do a pick up.
Are you in search of satisfaction in courier/package delivery, have you been having issues with regard to pick up’s and drop off’s in your courier/package delivery process? Have you needed to send items to within Nigeria, and you wanted/expected them to get to their destination on time or on the same day? Well search no longer, here are some tips that would guide you in ensuring that you get a devoted courier delivery platform that’ll make sure your package deliveries are timely and successful:

1. Simply download the Swifno mobile app from Google Play Store or from iOS App Store and register.

2. In requesting your delivery, ensure you have the package prepared early enough (depending on the distance), before placing your request.

3. While placing a courier delivery request, ensure the pick-up and drop- off locations are properly described. This is to ensure the courier service provider does not waste time trying to locate these places.

4. While stating these locations (pick - up and drop - off), it will also be useful to indicate landmarks close to the intended location, to aid proper description.

5. Keep your mobile device (or other media) handy for vital information on status of delivery in transit especially if you are the recipient. This is also important in event of a sudden change in location, be it pick up or drop off.

6. If the delivery location is far away from the pick-up location (e.g. another state), make the request early enough, preferably first thing in the morning.

7. Communication is important. When items are on transit, try to maintain a means of communication with the courier service provide. The Swifno app offers an excellent tracking option where the courier can keep the customer updated at all times.

8. When placing requests for receipts of items from someone else, it is important to advise the person (the sender) just before the request is made.
