Courier services, like any business, are bound to experience problems from time to time. We’ve all heard of the common horror stories of packages getting damaged, stolen, or lost in transit. But don’t worry! This is limited to a small set of cases. It is still important, however, to know situations in which your package could experience problems.

We will take all the steps to make sure that their delivery vehicles are new and running well, but there are still the chances of a breakdown delivery getting late as the vehicle could breakdown for number of reasons at any time and anywhere.
