Weekend Courier Service

  Weekend Courier Service business.

  Business Overview

  There are two ways to make money operating a weekend courier service. The first is to simply contract your delivery services to established courier companies on an as-needed basis. The second and more profitable method is to secure weekend delivery contracts with local merchants and professionals. You will need reliable transportation in order to operate this service, as well as a beeper or cellular telephone for incoming inquiries. Many merchants and professionals wait until Friday before shipping local deliveries simply because it is less expensive to ship multiple items than it is to ship one at a time. Waiting until Friday enables them to stock pile deliveries until the end of the week. Joining local business associations and attending networking meetings is a great way to promote your business and secure contracts for the service.
