Difference Between Courier Logistics
Courier services offers to serve only documents
and portable goods (not big consignments).
Courier services is better to send and receive
documents fast and safe. Few courier services
providers offer portable goods transport those
are not very big in size and heavy. Courier
service provider company's in India are, Blue
Dart, Gati Courier, DTDC, etc.Logistics Company
offers to serve heavy goods transport through
truck, rail, flights. Logistics service provider

Contd..
The basic difference between courier and
logistics company is that logistics deals with
the business network that manages material,
information, capital flows and services to the
customers. It is a wider concept in all together.
Courier companies usually deals with the
management and shipment of small packages but now
a days even they have started making it big by
investing in big freight ventures. We usually
compares such companies on basic 3 S's service,
safety and speed provided by them. If a courier
company is rated more than a logistic in these 3
S's in an area then go for it. Additionally, it
depends on the type of item you want to
transport. I usually prefer fast and secure
courier company for small household
transportation and logistics company for bigger
shipments.
