The package is sitting 30 mins from my house for over 3 days and now since it’ll be the weekend, it’ll be at least 5-6 days if not more, until it’s delivered. 30 mins from my house guys. These guys are awful

Stored 9 pieces of luggage. Very short walk from Canada place and half the price of the non bounce locations. They were organized and I felt my luggage would be safe

We regularly use Phantom for quick pickups and deliveries to clients and printing needs. However, recently we had a tricky requirement picking up technology and their team was great. I explained the situation and Edward just took it from there. I didn’t have to think about it again. Thx for solving our problem!

After trying to deal with FedEx for our office courier needs (complete nightmare) we found Phantom and what a pleasant relief- they are reasonably priced, efficient, and their interface is easy to use. The few times I called them they were courteous and professional- I highly recommend them!

What Service Options Does the Company Offer?

A good local courier provides several levels of service for you to choose from, depending on your needs. This will help you build a trusted relationship that lasts well into the future.

Is the Local Courier’s Pricing Structure Transparent and Competitive?

A good service provider will offer a transparent pricing structure. There are a lot of choices in using a courier - type of transport (car, motorcycle, bike), how quick is the delivery needed, two way services, etc. Clients must be able to call and easily find out exactly how much it costs to send a package or document, with no hidden fees.

Does the Courier Company Use Up To Date Technology?

A courier company that uses technology to manage, monitor, and communicate orders and deliveries is likely to be more efficient than a company that uses outdated processes. Will they provide personalized services to you (eg. cheque pickup)? The technology used will provide real-time tracking of packages and signature verification upon delivery.

What Procedures Are Provided to Solve Problems?

Even an experienced local courier service can have a delivery go wrong. For Instance, a delayed delivery of your package due to unforeseen complications. If this happens, the company should have mechanisms for providing personal feedback to you to keep you updated with instant constant feedback on the status of your delivery.

Can The Courier Handle Sensitive Deliveries?

There are times when you need to send special or sensitive packages. A courier company will have a procedure for handling sensitive deliveries. For instance, a medical delivery such as DNA samples or other highly sensitive packages that require extreme care when handling and in transit. Good local courier companies will handle packages that are highly fragile with extreme care.
