Shipping Service
| |
|
In an ever changing marketplace dominated by new services, new technologies, new rating formulas, all kinds of
surcharges and rising costs, the shipping industry is no small task to master. It takes a professional and knowledgeable
staff that understands the industry . With over thirty-six years in the business and contacts with the nation's largest
carriers, PCI is positioned to offer a very comprehensive shipping program. Our goal and commitment is to offer a full
service program to take the burden of shipping off your shoulders and putting it on ours.
When you have a package to send, you may wonder what the difference is between the Post Office, FedEx or
UPS. Since PCI is a multi carrier operation, we evaluate the shipment as to who is best to provide the best price and
service depending on need. These other places are going to sell their service, whether it be the Post Office, FedEx or
UPS. For example, say we are going to ship your item UPS. How do we differ from our competitors like the UPS
Center/Terminal, UPS Store, or a UPS Partner Location like Staples or Office Depot? Now, these places
would like you to believe that their UPS rate offerings (UPS Retail Rates) are low. Well, they might be low for those
locations, but we are a independent operation, and we set our own rates, therefore, we do better. The shipping rate is
the bottom line, but there are factors to consider to get to that point. Does a location like the UPS Center/Terminal or
Franchise location (UPS Store) benefit by trying to reduce the cost to you? Does a UPS Partner Location (Staples, Office Depot) have a staff knowledgeable enough with the initiative to create ways to save money on shipping? You
have to be the judge as to who will serve you best. |

The old idea of wrapping your package in brown paper labeled with a thick magic marker and simply putting it on a scale
and getting a price are behind us. Today's shipping climate demands evaluating and determining all factors necessary to
arrive at the final cost to ship a package. So whether it is a letter or a document that needs to go overnight, a ground
shipment that simply needs timely delivery, large freight or moving your belongings on a van line, PCI has the knowledge
and experience to accomplish the task. PCI has been designated as a TOP 100 UPS SHIPPER OUTLET in the country.
The bottom line is, please don't assume that all these various types of shipping outlets will result in the same outcome,
PCI is the right place, right choice. We look forward to serving your needs.
