A Case Of Too Many Courier Services In Jamaica?

Hello my Savvy Shoppers! We are well into the new year and I you are a true go-getter you would have accomplished at least one thing from your New Years Resolutions List. Surprisingly enough , one of my goals was to sign up with a Courier Service that i can truly trust to Ship my packages on time and where i won’t have a to pay  for that one package 3 times. What i found out was really surprising

Since the middle of 2013 several Courier Services seemed to have sprung up out of nowhere. Sure variety is the spice of life and there is nothing new under the Sun due to Globalization …But! Do we really need all those Courier Services? We are all familiar with giants like Mailpac Express and Shipwize but what do these new Courier Services have that sets them apart from the “giants”? The interesting thing is that a vast majority of these Courier Services are located in Kingston and are all offering the same things at similar prices. How does an Online Shopper truly benefit from all these? In no way at all . Let’s look at a breakdown between Mailpac Express and Go Global Ja Ltd. They are both located in Kingston , they both offer Worldwide Shipping  (same services).

As an Online Shopper I’m not impressed by a Courier Service that has a cool website or lists their high-end clients on that website: What Truly impresses me is the actual service. How well they respond to their clients and also how quickly they are able to ship packages. There is nothing wrong with all these Courier Services , it shows that as a nation Jamaica has realized that we live in a “Digital Age” and it is time to meet the needs of the people. It is important that these Courier Services are there to serve the people and not compete with each other.

Do you think there are too many courier services in Jamaica?
