Thinking of it, it looks so funny. When the very service of dispatch and receipt of parcels by Couriers worldwide was not there, it would have taken months, if not years to send and receive parcels to overseas destinations.
Thinking of it,
it looks so funny. When the very service of dispatch and receipt of parcels by Couriers worldwide was not there, it would have taken months, if not years to send and receive parcels to overseas destinations. It is true every country had the Postal Department, run by the respective Government and this took care of receipt and delivery of parcels, together with exchange of communications, through letters and documents. But the pace of moving was inevitably slow, to the detriment of the entire business community.
Centuries back, the business transactions of buying and selling goods were restricted wholly to the regions, strictly speaking villages, and shifted there from to the nearest towns. Consumer goods and agricultural produces found their market locally. When the expansion of trade took place in heavy items, like engineering goods or machinery parts, only road transport was resorted to, in sending them within the country. In exceptional cases, if imports were necessitated, the one and only source of sending them was as cargo parcels through ships on the sea. For an Indian company to receive them from UK, it virtually took months.
In the 20th century, Industrialization paved way for mass production of goods for all the relevant sectors of trade and commerce. The markets for these goods essentially got widened. Therefore the need for sending and receiving parcels, containing these goods with speed, to countries across the sea was immense. The Air Cargo charges being very high and prohibitive, only shipment by sea was the viable one, even for smaller parcels.
The Postal Departments were unable to cope up with the enormity of such overseas parcel services, and the pace of working, like any Government department of a country, left much to be desired. It is at this point of time the most suitable alternative solution, in the form of Courier Service was introduced and progressed forward with rapid strides.
Globalization through Internet technology opened up new vistas and avenues to the business community. With this the service of transferring parcels, pallets and any other item that needs to get delivered in any destination, locally, regionally and internationally has grown into phenomenal proportions. Speed is the word behind these International Courier Services. Online purchases added up to the number of parcels.
