The tariff alone does not explain the cost of a successful order.
Practical steps
- Request delivery and return fees in writing.
- Check areas and lead times.
- Compare completed parcels.
- Track remittance and issue handling.
Worked example
A courier charging one dinar less may cost more if returns increase or remittances are delayed.
Mistake to avoid
Avoid rankings based on tiny samples or ongoing parcels.
Working checklist
Use a stable reference connecting order, customer, parcel and amount. Date each follow-up and record its reason. Check payment before specifying courier collection. At period end, compare final outcomes and separate ongoing, delivered and returned parcels. Give customers a clear issue-resolution contact without exposing phone numbers or addresses publicly.
Common question
Is the cheapest best?
