There are certain services which are offered by some courier companies and not by others. Courier services are often asked, for example, whether they offer twenty four hour delivery, or whether they have storage options available. One service which is maybe not requested quite as often but which does come up from time to time is whether or not a company has photo inventory available. With digital cameras becoming cheaper, higher quality, and easier to use all the time, it is now safe to say that most couriers are going to offer a photo inventory service of some kind, however, you should never take this for granted as there are still companies out there who do not offer this service.
The simplest way to find out whether a company does or doesn't offer photo inventory is usually to just visit their website. This is often the best way to help you select between courier companies in this day and age, as most of these companies are going to use their websites as one of, if not THE, primary marketing tool that they use to promote their services to potential customers. As such, any services they offer which may add value to their customers are
sure to be listed on the website, and photo inventory definitely falls into this category. Of course if you don't have the internet you can simply call the company directly and they will usually be happy to tell you whether or not the photo inventory is something that they can offer to you.
Don't choose to open an account with one company just because they offer photo inventory however. This service is actually utilized so seldom, even by companies that think they will use it all the time, which makes it bear weight against the other factors that may be influencing you to choose one company over another. There are other services, perks, or offers that a courier company may make, such as free short term storage or reduced surcharges on after-hours orders, which may in the long run be much more appealing to your company than the service of photo inventory might be. That is why you should really take the time to ask yourself why you're looking for photo inventory and whether or not your company can live with a courier that doesn't offer it. The same could be said for any of the added services which couriers may offer.
