Fixed price vs estimate
A fixed price is calculated from the real route and shown before you pay, so it does not change when the job runs long. Be wary of estimates that can be revised after booking.
When a courier is the right choice
For small, low-value parcels a postal service is far cheaper. Use a same-day courier for urgent, bulky, fragile or valuable items where a dedicated driver and proof of delivery matter.
