If you think courier services are too expensive, then think again with this low cost option

Long gone are the days when only companies could afford to use couriers; these days people send all sorts of stuff such as suitcases, skis, surfboards, bikes and spare parts. Additionally with the rise of e-commerce it can help small companies to control costs.

In 2010 the website Mensajería Low Cost was created and offers both national and international courier services from Spain. Their website is available in five languages for ease of use. On the one hand it’s a comparison site and shows rates from some of the biggest international and national courier companies, but not only does it compare tariffs as you can contract the door-to-door service directly with them without having to visit another website. Many people have tended to use the Spanish Post Office service directly as courier companies have traditionally been too expensive, however Mensajería Low Cost is able to get special rates on volume, with sometimes a result of up to a 50% discount. So even if you only need the service once a year, you can take advantage of these special rates.

Add on services include cash on delivery (great for e-commerce sites), possibility to specify a time for collection and delivery and to get insurance for delicate or valuable items. Additionally their call centre can deal with calls in English as well as Spanish. Services to the EU can be contracted online, for other countries you’ll have to call to get a quote.

Mensajería Low Cost plans for expansion include an international division offering courier services from other countries to Spain and within other countries, all with the same low cost philosophy. We suggest you check out their website the next time you need to send something, you could be pleasantly surprised.
