Flexible work hours allow you to take breaks and work according to your energy levels. But it's also fair to say that remote work can invite distractions that kill any productivity benefits you may have stood to gain.
When you're working autonomously, it's easy for the workday to get away from you. Zoom conference calls might run long. Doorbells, pets, and family members at home can take away from your core focus. Eventually, all the time that remote work added back to your day is quickly exhausted with other things that don't directly add value to your workload.
The easy way to add hours back to your day, no matter your priorities - use an NYC courier service like AirPals to get more done.
What is Airpals NYC Courier Service?
In one of the biggest cities in the world, moving from Point A to Point B can feel (and look) like a cross-country road trip. For busy professionals with important needs, traditional logistics just don't cut it. That's why Airpals decided to reinvent the classic courier model and bring it into the digital era.
Airpals is an NYC-based courier service aimed at helping businesses and professionals deliver and receive goods within the city. No more fighting traffic, carrying expensive items onto the subway, or risk having your items lost in the jumble with traditional logistics carriers.
Just like a standard courier, we help with every part of the logistics process, from packing your precious items to scheduling hand-to-hand deliveries and everything in between. Airpals works on a personalized level rather than in volume, making sure your packages get individual safety, security, and attention.
And unlike a standard courier, we empower our service to you with modern technology, allowing you to get more control over your shipments. Use our online platform to request pickup and delivery times at your convenience, even with same-day notice. Then, leverage our tracking system to watch your package's journey through the city and into your recipient's hands. Get confidence that your item has arrived safely and to the right person.
Airpals is NYC courier service reimagined, giving you a better option to transport what matters most.
Are Courier Services Even Relevant Anymore?
We're living in an era of instant gratification, one where you click Buy online and expect items to arrive at your door in as little as two days. In response, traditional shipping networks like FedEx, USPS, and UPS have expanded to satisfy customer demand, ensuring you have multiple options for shipping important items.
But a courier service is just as relevant today as it's ever been, and arguably more so as tolerance for waiting has waned.
Airpals courier service offers premium, all-inclusive delivery service to businesses and professionals in and around NYC. While many carriers offer delivery speeds as fast as the next day, courier services can come through for you with a same-day turnaround. There's no waiting on hold while an agent works to find the best possible route and drop-off location. We come to you once you schedule your service and do all the heavy lifting from there. It's more personalized and tailored to you, and more trustworthy since your package enters the hands of just one individual instead of multiple employees.
As a result, items are delivered on time, able to be tracked efficiently, and arrive safe and undamaged. The same just can't be said for traditional shipping services.
For remote workers, courier services have proven to be game-changing, especially in the past year. Businesses that typically relied on regular parcel shipping found themselves at the end of a long waiting list due to the rise in e-commerce. Coupled with more companies going remote, it's become even more challenging for remote professionals to send and receive goods between locations, partners, and other businesses.
Courier services like Airpals remove many of these barriers, allowing remote work and productivity to thrive. No matter where your employees or business partners are, we're helping companies stay connected.
What Can a Courier Service Do?
Courier services are keeping the remote work movement alive by helping businesses work smartly. Here are some ways we're supporting remote professionals with reliable messenger services in and around NYC:
Local, Same-Day Delivery
Many companies in NYC make a spur-of-the-moment decision to move to a remote setting. Employees woke up to announcements in their inboxes telling them not to come into the office. Lockdowns further removed this possibility from the equation.
While companies were busy keeping their workers safe and socially distanced, the Airpals team was busy going to visit businesses, collecting electronic devices and office goods, packaging them, and delivering them to keep employees working. We helped to keep businesses going by building essential bridges between corporate hubs and remote workers.
This is just one example of how valuable local, same-day delivery can be. Maybe it's important documents you can't trust to the local mail service. Or maybe it's equipment or materials you need in your employees' hands immediately. For all unique needs that arise on a moment's notice, you can count on AirPals for short-notice pickups and drop-offs.
High Security for Shipping Valuables
Priceless films, floor samples for a construction project, print proofs of a marketing campaign - some things are just too valuable to entrust to an average mail carrier. Even with the advanced tracking systems of today, packages still get lost in the mail. And while you may be able to claim insurance on those items, it's a time-intensive process that can delay you from getting a replacement. And some items simply aren't replaceable!
Courier services ensure your most valuable items are kept safe throughout delivery. Once a package leaves your hands, a courier safeguards that item until it's delivered to your recipient. There are no passing items in between employees, and no warehouses or systems that will scar or jostle your items during transport. It's a simpler path from Point A to Point B with all the safety and security your items deserve.
Hand-to-Hand Deliveries
Traditional logistics providers aim for efficiency, which often means delivering items to a front desk or mail room and leaving a clerk or secretary to sort them out. However, when you have pressing business needs, you can't always wait for packages to go through the normal sorting processes.
Only a courier service guarantees deliveries in hand. Instead of dropping a parcel at a front desk, we take the extra mile to place it in the hands of your recipient. We're diligent about confirming the right person and place on arrival, especially when delivering sensitive or confidential items. We'll even provide proof of delivery so you know your items are in good hands. When we say an item is delivered, we mean it completely!
Straightforward Logistics Without the Guesswork
Using traditional logistics for shipping comes with a lot of obstacles. There's the matter of measuring the dimensions and weight of your package, then comparing rates between carriers to find the best option. Then there's the matter of adding insurance, finding dropoff locations or scheduling pickups, printing a label, and packing your items. It's a lot to take in, especially if you could be spending that time on something better.
Airpals takes the bite out of local transport by simplifying the process from every angle. The online platform lets you schedule pickups around your schedule, even on short notice. Plus, you get an instant quote for service to make in-the-moment decisions based on your budget. It's simple and straightforward, with all the hard work done for you.
Last-Minute Requests
In a city as crowded as NYC, time is always of the essence. Maybe you don't have any urgent needs when working remotely, but you do value convenience. You have a lot on your schedule: Zoom calls that can't be moved. Deadlines to make. Or may you plan on knocking off a little early to treat your family to an evening on the town. Whatever your priorities, they're ours, too.
On the days where fighting traffic to get office supplies, equipment, or furniture just isn't on your schedule, put it on ours. Airpals will handle pickups from local businesses and deliver to your door, from your Kinkos order to handcrafted chocolates for your Employee of the Month. Place your orders with your favorite stores, brands, and businesses, even if they don't typically offer delivery services. We'll pick up your items and take them to the location of your choosing. It's the next best thing to having a personal assistant, except it's socially distanced, safe, and scalable.
Productivity Benefits of an NYC Courier Service
In the era of remote work, where companies are still figuring out how to navigate the new workplace normal, productivity matters more than ever. At Airpals, we're committed to supporting teams in making the most of their workday. Here are some of the ways we're helping you take back your time.
