Phantom
Couriers comparison:
We
here at Phantom Couriers thought it would be good for us to give you a quick
synopsis of our competitors in the same day courier category. As well a quick
growth comparison, among other things. Our reasoning behind this is; to show
you that we aren’t just a flash in the pan, to prove to you our rate of growth
is phenomenal to say the least. Plus, if you use someone else right now, it
might prove to you how good we are. Just to further the message we have
included a few letters of reference from some of our major clients.

* Rankings
are according to Business in Vancouver's Biggest courier companies in the
Lower Mainland. Published Sept. 20, 2005 |
**These
rates are all compared on a 2hr bike trip downtown to downtown and a 2hr car
trip from downtown to The Vancouver International
Airport. |
Flash has no 2hr service for
non-account holders; the larger is a cash call the smaller is if you have an
account only. |
V.I.P. does not have a 2hr service
anywhere; they have a 1.5hr service (first price) and a 3hr service (second
price). |
***Novex was Dwarf Couriers which then bought Nova Couriers to become Novex. |

PS: Please keep in
mind that some of our competitors charge by weight for everything, including
envelopes. We charge the same for all packages under 25lbs, excluding large
dimension, i.e. a piece of plywood weighing in at 15lbs.
With
the chart above you can see the level of growth or decline in growth compared
to us and others. We being only 10 years young, one has to wonder what we’re
doing to gain so fast on companies twice or thrice our age. Or even, why other
companies are shrinking as compared to last year. Why not wonder as well why
there would be two different rates for a cash call as opposed to an account
holder. Hmmmm…?
You
will also see we are pretty much right in the middle for all pricing, instead
of charging less for downtown trips and more for outside downtown, or even vice
versa, we decided to run an average pricing system, so you don’t have to use
one courier for each area. With us you get great prices and great services all
the time, one easy stop.

Same
day cut off: You got to be kidding, we’re in the same city, why wouldn’t we do it if we can?
Why
us? Well, plain and simple we are good, hands down. Our customer retention
level is astronomical, when clients come on board with us, they stay. Some of
our clients even laugh at salespeople that come in and try to get them to
switch, those always make for great stories.
We
are 100% locally owned and operated and we have no investors, we do it all
ourselves, we are extremely proud that we need no outside help. Our owner is also
the dispatcher, meaning he is hands on, knows what’s going on all the time,
constant communication
is the
keystone to our success with customer service and quality of service as the
support, so to say.
Metropolitan

a friendly and knowledgeable dispatch at the phones, and drivers that have been
courteous and professional, Phantom has proven themselves to be reliable and
cost effective. I would not hesitate to recommend Phantom Couriers.”

Couriers are dependable, offer competitive rates, and have more personality
than your average courier company. I have nothing but great things to say about
my experiences with Phantom over the past two years. When they say they’ll
deliver your package as fast as Phantomly possible, they mean it!”
