Using couriers is something I have been considering since the start of the year, 

 


I know, it's just that many of the concerns being expressed in this thread are universal so will be shared by a percentage of your target customers, it's obviously impossible for me to guess what kind of percentage that would be since I'm not greatly familiar with your customer base 😄 , but you may be able to at least roughly estimate how many can either have packages (safely) delivered to a work address, or are constantly at home etc, . 

 

At the end of the day, it's entirely your choice and sometimes you do need to make decisions that won't suit some people, if whatever the benefits are will outweigh the drawbacks, but I do think it's important to indicate the service being used if there's little flexibility in choice, otherwise it could end up causing more problems than it solves (and, just in case, always provide the tracking number to the buyers, I don't mind not having one so much if it's an AP delivery, but if I don't get the number for a courier delivery, then I consider anything that goes wrong due to missed deliveries etc is at least partly the seller's fault 😛 ).
