Do you use overnight couriers for local deliveries?

Many businesses do, assuming that they will always receive a lower price than sending the same package via a same-day courier. You might be surprised to learn that Green Delivery Service offers same-day delivery to most local areas at lower rates than the national companies charge for next day delivery.

"But I schedule my overnight deliveries at the end of the day and drop them in a drop-box.." No problem! Here's how it works. You place your delivery orders as you normally would, either by phone or online at any time. If you place your orders at the end of the day, your local packages simply remain on your desk until your office opens the following business, and are picked up and delivered the same business day, as opposed to traveling all over the country (most national overnight couriers use major city hubs).

In addition to a better shipping rates, there are several other advantages of using Green Same Day delivery instead of overnight service.
