High-value items require special care and attention when they are being shipped abroad. If you have any such items that you are looking to have delivered, your best bet is always to use an on-board courier (OBC). This will help ensure a safer, smoother delivery every time. But you may be wondering why this is the go-to option for high-value goods in particular.
Here are some of the greatest benefits of using an OBC for your own high-value items.
Deal with the Unexpected
There are countless unknowns to international travel, and this is true of shipping items abroad too. However, if you have hired a professional courier to carry your items the whole way, you have someone there to deal with any unexpected issues that may arise. This is a much safer option than simply sending that diamond ring in the post, and helps ensure that the item gets through the whole process in one piece.
Peace of Mind
Let’s say you are shipping a prized possession - a valuable heirloom, perhaps, or an expensive gift for a loved one who lives abroad. In this case, you want the ability to know that the item will arrive safe and sound, and there is no better way to achieve that than to have eyes on the item at all times. An on-board courier will provide exactly that service, giving you peace of mind that your high-value item will arrive safe, sound and undamaged.
Fully Customised Experience
An OBC provides you with a fully customised experience. If you have particular needs regarding, say, needing a pickup at a certain time, then a professional on-board courier will be more than happy to meet them. Compared to a normal shipping service, this means you have full control over the way your item is couriered, making it much more of a personal and dedicated service every time.
Cost-Effective
You may be worried that hiring an on-board courier will be more expensive than traditional shipping. However, the truth is that it’s a much more cost-effective way of having high-value items moved from place to place. Once you factor in every element of the logistics associated with the process, with on-board couriering you are getting a lot more for your money - not to mention the professionalism and dedication of an individual looking after your valuable item.
24/7 Support
Finally, with an on-board courier, you are not simply waving goodbye to your item as it gets shipped around the world. You can keep in touch with your personal courier 24/7, so whenever you need an update on the status of your delivery, you can get it in moments. Again, this provides fantastic peace of mind, but it also means you can raise any concern you may have the moment you have them. This is a service you just don’t get in many other places.
If you have any high-value items you would like shipped, your best bet is certainly to use an on-board courier. Get in touch today to find out more about this service, or fill in a few details for a quickfire quote now.
