Many times people need to ship something with a courier, and end up having to go through a great deal of hassle to fill out paperwork and pay for their shipment up front because they have never taken the time to open an account with a courier company. Some avoid the idea of opening an account with their local Chicago courier service, for example, because they feel that opening an account is going to be time consuming and arduous. This isn't true at all though, and in most locations, a courier account can be established in mere minutes.
The documents that most couriers are going to ask you to fill out in order to open an account with them are going to be very few. Usually, there are going to be three primary pieces of information that you're going to have to provide to the courier company that may be broken down among any number of forms. You're going to have to indicate an account holder, and provide all the requisite contact information for that person. You will have to provide financial information and establish billing practices. Finally, you will have to opt into the service you want to receive from the courier company, such as if you're requesting scheduled pickup service, or storage.
Some courier companies are making it even easier than ever before to apply for an account with their company. If you go to the websites of many couriers, you will now see that you can apply for accounts online. When you can apply for an account quickly from the comfort of your own computer, most major objections to the paperwork involved seem to vanish.
It is important that people don't let themselves get intimidated by the work it takes to open a courier account, because it truly is minimal. The gains far outweigh the work that is required to get that account open. There is really no downside to opening an account as well, as you're still free to do business with other couriers as you please. All you gain is additional help and services from the courier that you open the account with.
Usually, the paperwork can all be processed in a very short amount of time as well. Online applications are usually approved in a few minutes, and most offices will approve account applications at their location while you wait. The entire process is much faster, and more painless than people realize.
