Courier Delays and Enquiry Timeframes
Depending on current events, courier companies may struggle with the demand placed on their networks. Strategies are implemented during these times to help alleviate capacity issues. Holiday periods such as Christmas will increase demand and further delays are inevitable. Given these demands, the number of enquiries to courier call centres will also increase, which in turn takes a further toll on the networks. It is important to stay calm and allow reasonable time for deliveries.
