Finding cheap couriers needs research. The temptation, however, is to just telephone one courier for a quote, because ‘phoning around for cheap courier quotes takes time and who has lots of that to spare these days?

In an ideal world, it would possible to enter your consignment details just once and let the courier companies come to you with their cheapest quote for delivering. Well, with the advent of web-based courier quote comparison sites, this service is now available.

Ideal for individuals and small businesses, websites such as deliveryquotecompare.com take you step by step through the process, perfect for customers who have never used a courier before. Enter what you want delivering and where and the details are forwarded on to people who can transport your goods.

Couriers then post their costs for the job. The ingenious part of the service is that each company can see what everyone is bidding, so in a reverse auction style, the price should go down. The key to be able to offer cheap courier rates is the fact that companies with spare capacity in vans already going in the direction you want your goods delivered to, can offer incredibly competitive rates.

So not only do you get a range of quotes to compare, you are also going to get deals that are far cheaper than going direct to the large courier firms who give standard quotes for taking your consignment.

Once you have your quotes, take time to compare. The cheapest couriers may not offer tracking facilities or the delivery time may be longer, you need to decide what is critical to you then you’ll find there are some excellent cheap couriers out there. It’s completely your choice which (or any) of the quotes you accept, so you can opt for the best mix of service level and price to suit you.
