Delivery services – Unique secrets about the first courier
This blog has many articles about deliveries. There are also many other blogs about couriers, in one capacity or another. Every article written about a courier is based, in some way, on the concept of service. It can be said that every article written about a courier, by a courier, is an effort to improve the service. That may not be absolutely accurate, but the concept aligns with why a courier would want to share a delivery experience.
In fact, many delivery experiences are routine. Which is a good thing, because it wasn’t always so. Ten years ago there were a lot of improvements with merchant POS delivery systems. Couriers were able to use dispatch boards for dispatch, directions, as well as order details, and so forth. That was a step up, compared to ten years before that. Back in the real old days, when couriers had to memorize directions in a flash, then use every old school trick, for the delivery completion.
Delivery Services
In those days it was just called memory, and a good sense of direction, sprinkled with a dash of common sense. Furthermore, the methods for payment of delivery services were few. Cash has always been a method of payment. And in the older days of delivery, cash on delivery was the norm. That feature alone, had an entire operating method, associated with it. For example, many crew couriers had personal lock boxes at the merchant.
This lock box was for the courier’s cash. It was not uncommon for a courier, in those days, to have a cash delivery every time. Similarly, by the end of the shift, the courier was in possession of a large amount of cash. With the cash locked away the courier is safer. This is why no courier carries more than twenty bucks in cash.
With this in mind, the food delivery had a start. Its first recorded instance was in Naples, Italy in 1889. King Umberto I, and Queen Margherita of Savoy, were in Naples when they wanted to try the food of the people. Since they were in Italy, the commoner’s food was pizza. The Queen’s staff summoned the best pizza chef in the area, Raffaele Esposito, and asked him to deliver a fresh pie for her Majesty. Nobody can say no to the Queen, so Chef Raffaele did exactly as ordered, and made the first recorded pizza delivery. ~source Google
Unique Secrets about the First Courier
That story has many more details. And it is a good story. The indication is that the delivery services of the first courier were as important as the food. The other indication is that the courier was a great pizza chef. And then a great courier. However, the first pizza delivery was made by a pizza chef. Talk about fresh hot food. It can’t get much better than when the chef is also the courier. Stay safe out there.
