Messenger NYC

The More Things Change

Messenger nycThe first mararthon was run to deliver news of the results of a battle. Rome built the roads to create fast flowing communication lines for running the empire – a sure way to bring the wrath of the Roman legions was to interfere with messengers or traffic on the Roman roads.

But these are not the ancient days – cell phones, messaging, faxes and emails make communications faster and surer than ever before. Is a NYC courier still a viable means of delivering a message in the 21st century?

The More Things Stay The Same

The most modern of technical solutions are not the best solutions for very sensitive deliveries, requiring dedicated professional NYC messengers, such as

  • Advance copies of as-yet-unreleased material – too sensitive for public transmission.
  • Fashion samples – one of a kind rush deliveries.
  • Keys for quests, needed right now.
  • Documents requiring original signatures for legal purposes.

Faxes are useful for restaurant menus. Emails are good for ads and many routine communications. Text messaging is workable to get the recipient’s attention.

For the most sensitive items, your NYC Messenger Service has the experience and dedicated professionals to make your delivery happen. Fully documented, proof-of-delivery on record, mission accomplished as usual in the expected time.

Ceasar would approve. Call us for sensitive, routine and beyond the last minute deliveries when you Need It Now! 212- 989-1919

Need it Now – Where Technology Meets the Road

Courier NYCBeing a courier company in 2017 has changed radically from the 90’s. There used to be a bicycle cult that enjoyed the art of weaving in and out of traffic as dangerously as possible while still getting the job done.

While this made for interesting headlines when a messenger occasionally got nailed, it wasn’t exactly the most reliable means of delivering packages in NYC.

Today , quick deliveries are more about technology. The tracking of the package from beginning to end and the means of transport chosen are always factored into the dispatchers decisions here at Need It Now Courier.

The other day we had to make a delivery in 45 minutes that involved picking up four boxes from 125th street and getting them to 23rd street. By means of sophisticated tracking we could see at a glance which messengers and which vehicles were closest and out of those who had the most likelihood to pull it off. The boxes were picked up within 10 minutes of the call by van and the driver knew exactly which route was fastest and was at the destination with 2 minutes to spare!

Another incident was a very large online retailer needed an item pulled from our warehouse in the middle of the night and delivered to a store by 8 am. The item was heavy and required a van. Using our inventory tracking and messenger status data base the best courier could be selected and the item gotten ready, picked up and delivered within a 5 hour window.

Of course the essential ingredient to all successful application of technology is the personnel who utilize it to service their clients. Our dispatchers are very seasoned and savvy in the field of warehousing and deliveries.

Remember when you need a delivery done right you Need It Now! Call: 212 989 1919 and find out about our low rates for same day delivery!

I’m a huge fan of music, so when I finally was able to get my hands on a guitar, having to wait an additional two weeks seemed like a lifetime.

3 Ways Final Mile Deliveries Go That Extra Mile

Final Mile DeliveriesFinal mile deliveries are what’s been missing

In business you need to act fast. Therefore, anything standing in the way of speed of delivery to clients or customers is a hindrance to business growth. Logistics has fast become a problem for many in this fashion. Fortunately, final mile deliveries have also become front and center and solve such logistics problems in several ways.

Road blocks can block business

In a journey of a thousand miles, it could be said that the final one is the toughest. What with traffic and congestion, a five-minute trip can take an hour. Final mile deliveries utilize methods of getting a shipment to destination without such barriers, including direct messenger service. And, face, it, in this fast-paced world, timing is everything in that it can make or break a business.

Personalized service is the new “service”

Everything in this modern world has been moving toward fulfillment, service and even personality. Modern marketers talk of the new-age customer wanting to get personal and feel a connection to those with whom they interact and do business. Final mile deliveries are the epitome of personalized service. From cargo bay to doorstep, with personal delivery and even confirmation of the article condition, packages large and small are in good hands and well-received by recipients.

Logistics for all shapes and sizes

Logistics often involve many factors, including people. Some transactions between business and customer are literally between two people: business person and customer. Not everyone can operate with logistical teams the size of large corporations. Final mile deliveries fill in the gaps of missing logistics. Large companies, however, do not always have the logistical facilities available. This makes this delivery method a choice way to get things into the right hands at the fastest speed possible.

Final mile deliveries deliver

Many can claim to go the extra mile, but can they go the final one? Speed of service, impeccable logistics and personalized service are among the simplest demands of those living, working and operating in this fast-paced, need-it-now, on-demand world we live in today. Delivery is held to a new standard and needs to change with the times. Final mile deliveries are achieving this, every day, every shipment, from the smallest to largest of items and parcels.

If you need it now, or need someone to have it now, check out Need It Now Courier to deliver more than just an item to a recipient. Deliver logistical solutions, rapid delivery and incredibly-personalized service for much more than just a package-in-hand, but a relationship to customers.
