If someone places an order with a courier company for the first time, they often want to know what they have to do in order to be ready for their driver to come pick up their package. In reality, there isn't too much preparation that needs to be done and it is fairly simple to ensure that you have everything ready for when the driver from your local Chicago courier service comes to pick up your package. There are a few guidelines that may vary from company to company, so by all means feel free to ask about the details for the company that you are shipping with. However, as a general rule, you need to have your package packed safely so that it will not be damaged in transit, it needs to be clearly labeled with any required shipping labels that the company requires, and it needs to have any other required paperwork that might be required if you are shipping anything internationally.
You may be required to provide your account number as well to the driver when they arrive to pick up your package. This isn't always a requirement though. In the interest of streamlining the process of delivering and shipping packages, more and more companies are moving to much more electronically regulated systems, and in many cases your address will be enough for the driver to log all information correctly linked to your account, as everything will be stored and cross referenced in the courier's software. In addition, you may already have been required to enter all relevant information when you placed your order, if you did so through an online order placement program.
The most important thing is always going to be ensuring that you do have your package packaged and labeled correctly. If you're unsure of what this consists of, don't be afraid to check the guidelines if they're posted on your delivery company's website, or also to just call them up and inquire. You have to ensure that your items are packed so that they won't be damaged during the normal stresses of transit, and that they are labeled very clearly with any required shipping labels that your particular courier may require you to use. If you don't follow the company's instructions in this regard, it can cause delays in a number of ways, from small ones where the driver is slowed down by you, to more major problems such as packages becoming lost because they were improperly labeled.
