Happy New Years Eve from #CMI
Holiday Courier
Whenever it’s time for the holiday season, you can almost feel the sheer excitement in the air. Or maybe it’s the frantic energy of everyone trying to make sure they have all the gifts they need on time! During the last few weeks of the holiday seasons, shopping can be at a near-constant fever pitch. Whenever that happens, logistics can become mired and bogged down, and suddenly the stress of uncertainty begins to overtake that holiday excitement. Unfortunately, your usual courier services like Fedex, UPS, and the USPS can only do so much, even with their impressive manpower and their distribution centers. But with a dedicated same day delivery service, you could have a speedy solution with Courier Messenger Inc. that can sidestep all of those stops and slowdowns and bring your gifts to your door in quick time.
There are a couple ways that a same-day rush courier service can be utilized, depending on if you’re a business owner or if you’re just an individual in need of getting their gift ideas delivered quickly and in a hurry!
For Businesses
Being a business owner, especially one who specializes in retail, the holiday season is a boon for your profits and sales, but it’s also likely the most hectic time of the year for you and your team. Whether you’re selling the next line of phone accessories or selling teddy bears the size of full-grown people, time is of the essence and sometimes the usual big-name couriers won’t be able to get those parcels moving as fast as you need them. That’s when the same day delivery services from CMI can make sure your deliveries reach their destinations fast and on time for the holidays. It not only benefits your business, but customers will remember your ability to deliver on time, even in times of crisis like holiday prep!
For Individuals
Just like business owners who need to ship their goods out fast for the holidays, individuals like you may want to order something quick and get it shipped to you faster so that you can have it wrapped and ready for the holidays. With same day delivery services, you can have your ordered items picked up and delivered straight to your destination of choice within a matter of hours, all in the same day. Typical couriers will get bogged down during holiday season, resulting in delayed deliveries that may take weeks to resolve and deliver. You can skip the stress and find peace of mind with a dedicated courier driver to ensure that your gift parcels are shipped the way you need them, whenever you need them.
Great for Any Holiday
The holiday rush can happen on any holiday. While Christmas may be the most popular known one to cause huge shopping rushes, plenty of other holidays cause similar-sized traffic on the shipping and logistics front:
- Christmas
- New Years
- Fourth of July
- Memorial Day
- Labor Day
- Valentine’s Day
- Thanksgiving
- And Many More!
The great thing about a dedicated same day delivery courier is the consistent flexibility and speed that you’ll get versus that of a typical courier service.

Driving Safety Tips – Tornado
Tornado
- Do not drive during tornado conditions.
- Never try to out-drive a tornado in a vehicle. Tornadoes can change direction quickly and can lift a car or truck and toss it through the air.
- Get out of your vehicle immediately and seek shelter in a nearby building.
- If there is no time to get indoors, or if there is no nearby shelter, get out of the car and lie in a ditch or a low-lying area away from the vehicle. Be aware of the potential for flooding.

Driving Safety Tips – How to Drive During Earthquakes
How to Drive During Earthquakes
Experiencing an earthquake while in a moving vehicle has been compared to driving on four flat tires. If an earthquake occurs while you are driving:
- Gradually decrease speed.
- Pull to the side of the road when it is safe to do so.
- Do not stop on or under overpasses or bridges.
- Do not drive until local authorities have deemed it safe to do so.
- Avoid parking near trees, downed power lines and buildings.
- Stop the car and keep your seat belt fastened.
- Remain in your car until the shaking stops.
- Keep in mind that aftershocks follow the initial earthquake.
- Turn on your car radio and listen for advisories (most radio stations are prepared to broadcast emergency information).
- If driving on the freeway, and if it’s safe to do so, exit at the first opportunity.
- Be especially careful for mudslides and rockslides as earthquakes can jar loose these materials.
Be prepared by stocking the following items in your vehicle:
- Fully equipped first aid kit
- Bottled water
- Blanket or sleeping bag
- Flashlight with extra batteries and bulb
- Fire extinguisher
- Pocket radio with extra batteries
- Local maps
- Matches
- Prescription medicine

Foreign shores hold greener pastures
In a world of continuing economic uncertainty, firms that trade internationally are reporting significantly better revenues and profits than those businesses sticking to their domestic market. In India, 70% of firms which export say they have increased profits over the last 12 months compared with just 48% of companies which only trade domestically. But a variety of worries are stopping even more businesses from operating abroad. Building an image abroad, complicated foreign tax systems, property costs and paperwork, political instability and natural disasters such as flooding or earthquakes are real concerns preventing firms taking that big, and lucrative, step overseas. And while South East Asia is the most profitable destination according to Indian business, the Middle East and Europe – despite all the continuing economic worries over the future of the Euro –are also seen as profitable markets.
Those are the main findings of the second Global Survey report on export from global workplace provider Regus which canvassed opinion from more than 20,000 senior business managers in over 90 countries around the world.
According to the report, for Indian businesses, South East Asia is the most popular market with 41% of businesses rating it as most profitable. China (39%) and the Middle East (27%) are the second and third most popular with Europe (23%) being next in the list.
“In India, which has overtaken China is export growth rates, our survey really does show the benefit of overseas expansion,” says Madhusudan Thakur, Regional Vice-President, South Asia, Regus. “But it’s clear there are some big challenges facing companies who want to move abroad. Once that initial enthusiasm has worn off, companies find they’re bogged down with paperwork or red tape or have real difficulty establishing a physical presence in a foreign country. Business centres such as those run by Regus located in the country can be an answer as they provide flexible workspace, local business expertise and affordable administrative services, giving companies a local presence without the financial risk that has traditionally been associated with expansion abroad.”

Two-Wheeled Delivery – Bike Messenger Trends
Bicycle messengers have delivered goods and documents for years. But just like other facets of the courier, logistics, and delivery industry, the bike sector is constantly evolving.
According to the Boston Globe, Postmates allows customers to order most any product from any store or restaurant in a city with Postmates’ mobile app. “Postmates assigns a bike courier to pick it {the product} up and deliver it to you, in one hour or less. All payment is handled through the app, using a credit card,” the Globe reports.
Bastian Lehmann, Postmates founder, created the company to help local merchants “compete with Amazon by offering quick delivery as an option.” In the Globe, Lehmann reports that local retailers are in danger. Postmates’ goal is to treat a city like it’s a warehouse and create a platform that connects local merchants with customers.
Speaking of Amazon…
Amazon on Two Wheels
If you thought couriers couldn’t get any faster, Amazon — the ever-present mover and shaker of the logistics world — is testing a program that will make delivery quicker.
In late 2014, Amazon began testing delivery via bike in New York, the Multi-Channel Merchant reports. The Wall Street Journal originally reported the news.
Amazon has recruited bicycle couriers to deliver certain items that have been purchased on Amazon.com “in an hour or two.”
“Amazon has already begun conducting time trials of three courier services to determine which it will use, dispatching riders to a destination, having them photograph it to confirm the address, and return…”
This service will help Amazon compete with other “brick-and-mortar” stores that already provide immediate delivery.
Going Green
Green-centric businesses are popping up all over the industry, but bicycle couriers are the original sustainable delivery method. Bikes, after all, are people powered, and only require conventional fuel (coffee, a person, and a banana).
While bikes are great delivery mechanisms for various products (food, documents, etc.), these two-wheeled wonders are now used to deliver flowers. And these aren’t just any flowers — each bouquet is locally sourced and sustainably grown.
Petal by Pedal, a flower delivery company, is aiming to cut its carbon footprint by “saying no” to imported flowers. Imported flowers accumulate a ton of mileage (many florists order in flowers from all over the world), reports Victoria Dawson Hoff of Elle.
Kate Gilman, the business’ owner, formed her New York City company to source locally grown flowers and deliver them via bike.
Petal by Pedal isn’t the first company to capitalize on this idea. Other companies, such as Farmgirl Flowers and Bloom That, have a similar concept. Although bikes are well known as a delivery vehicle for food, food bikes are now becoming all the rage.
You may be familiar with food trucks — rolling operations that sell food in a cheap and simple way. But now, “brewers, chefs, baristas and even farmers are turning to pedal-powered vehicles to bring their goods to consumers — and, sometimes, actually produce them on the street,” NPR reports.
Some of the benefits of these food truck alternatives are the following:
• Bicycles are environmentally sound: Food bikes mean “fewer emissions into the urban air.”
• Food bikes make financial sense: According to NPR, a “fully outfitted food bike costs just several thousand dollars — a fraction of the price of
a food truck, which runs tens of thousands.”
• Also: Food bikes are convenient. Bikes are easy to maneuver in outdoor settings, such as beer festivals, concerts, or farmers’ markets.
So far, it seems as though many of these food bikes, such as Trailhead Coffee Roasters, are doing well. Charlie Wicker, owner of Trailhead, says the following about his business: “We’re doing high volumes of retail business within the Portland area, and we use bikes because it works.”
To succeed, many vendors purchase specialty bikes that are custom built. The cycles accommodate packing and transport. Some bikes even have more extreme additions, such as a draft beverage service, cooking apparatuses, and an operating sink. The main concern with these bikes, though, is that if a person is cooking, prepping, and cleaning on her bike, she must comply with certain state health codes. That’s why many of these bikers forgo cooking on their cycles, and instead, cook at a home base, such as a restaurant, and bike the food into events.
