Aim to provide fast and quality service
Speed of service is one of the most important issues for customers. Long waiting times in the package delivery can lead to order cancellations and may also cause your business not to be preferred again. Therefore, aim to deliver correctly packaged orders to your customers as soon as possible.

Leaving the package at the customer’s door is seen as an important step in order delivery. Customers prefer meticulous businesses, even more so during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Reserve your order packing area
