Hi all,
I am interested to start a new local courier business in Singapore.
Can someone give me their feedbacks on the below questions:
1) What do people look for or expect in a local courier service company?
2) What value added services would people like courier companies to do?
3) How do we get people to try a new courier service company?
Thank you

We will provide a value added service where we will give a call to the receiver at least 30 minutes before hand to check if they are available to receive the goods. Or else, it can be re-scheduled at a time where they are convenient.
