Even though the average local courier service has by now implemented a new way of checking status updates easily and quickly over the internet, there are still a vast number of businessmen who like being able to conduct business without having to go online more than they need to. For this contingent, which is larger than one might imagine, it is still important for a good local courier service to offer a telephone status check method for its clients. In fact, this is important even for the modern mobile executive, because there are still many places where you may lose internet access, but almost everyone always has a cell phone that they can access in order the check the status of an important delivery.
A courier company that still has a way to check status by phone shows that they are a company that cares that their customers are always receiving the best service, because they haven't done away with telephone status checks simply because a few less people use them than used to. They know that they still have clients which prefer to check their deliveries that way, and so leave that method available to them.
No local courier service has a sufficient excuse for doing away completely with telephone status updates, and one that has could indicate a company that is less concerned than their competition with customer satisfaction. Even a company no longer wished to use the resources to have a fully automated telephone tracking system in place; it is no effort at all for status calls to be forwarded to a customer service rep that can use the online tracking system to inform the customer of their package's status. This is the kind of customer service that really sets some companies apart from others.
The other reason that a person might want that telephone tracking capability is simply a cost saving measure. If you do a lot of your work from a cellular or smart phone, you know that you might incur huge data rates if you're using a lot of data on your phone, which can be especially costly for a small business owner. However, you likely have a long distance plan which can make a phone call much more affordable for you to check the status of your shipment with a local courier service than using the internet from your mobile device may be.
