If you are doing business with any San Francisco messenger service, courier, or delivery company, be sure that you understand all of their requirements and guidelines for properly packaging your items for delivery well in advance of your first pickup. Improper packaging or labelling of your item to be delivered can cause delays in their route, can cause delays on your package getting to its destination in time, and it can also cost you extra money if you are assessed a fee for improperly packaging or labelling your package, which some companies will do, because as a result of your not following instructions it can actually end up costing them time, and/or money.
Usually, a courier or messenger service will be very clear with you about how to have your item ready for delivery. Usually, they will want it in an unmarked box or package, with the label clearly indicated with one of their shipping forms. However, this isn't always the case, so be sure to inquire with your particular company about what is and is not appropriate under their terms of service. Usually, the most important things are to ensure that everything is packaged correctly so that it is secure and will not sustain damage under normal strains of transport, as they don't want to be held liable for a damaged item. Also, anything that is perishable, liquid, or otherwise potentially messy or dangerous must be properly sealed, packaged, and labelled.
Labelling is also always an important part of the regulations that a San Francisco shipping company is going to have in place for packaging your deliveries. By having a proper shipping label that is filled out correctly and accurately, you greatly reduce the chance for anything to go wrong with your delivery. If you have labelled your package incorrectly, one of several things can take place. Regardless of whether or not the courier can correct it en route, or if the package has to be returned to you, it is going to cost you an extra fee, and likely delay the timely receipt of your package. Because prompt service is so important in any line of business for increasing the satisfaction of your customers, this is something that you never want to see happen. One of the best ways to help ensure that this situations does not arise, is by taking the time to both properly label, and package, any shipment that you have being transported by a courier.
