What is the courier service? Advantage + Disadvantage

A courier service is a company that offers special deliveries of packages, money, documents or information. One of the main characteristics of courier services is that they have faster delivery times than any other method of transporting documents, therefore, many companies rely on them.

In that sense, courier services are known for their superior speed and tracking capabilities compared to traditional mail services.

As such, this type of service is particularly useful for people who sell products online and need a solution for shipping multiple packages. This can range from online marketplace sellers, such as eBay, Etsy and Amazon, to established national and international online businesses.
