During this time of government regulations in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, courier services are essential. 
 
“We’ve seen a big increase in deliveries from our small business customers to local homes,” says Aramex Albury Regional Franchisee and local resident, Luke Arcus.
 
“So many of our local business partners are swiftly transitioning to online platforms with direct delivery – particularly health food and supplement stores, medical producers and our local wine and craft beer customers,” says Luke. “We’re proud to be supporting our community In responding to the COVID-19 challenge.”
 
“We’re staying focused on staying in touch with our customers to help them manage surges in delivery demand, and letting new customers know our national and international Aramex network is fully operational and keeping local parcels and deliveries on track.”

“We offer customers access to our completely online portal that allows for contactless pickup and delivery, which is essential for our community and our people during this time,” Luke adds. 
 
Couriers have been encouraged by the chorus of thanks and appreciation shown to them by local residents adjusting to new work-from-home and social-distancing policies. 
 
“All our couriers continue to support local business and their customers with efficient and effective deliveries of freight of any size, whether locally or through the wider Aramex network,” says Luke. “We know we’re playing an essential role in helping our community cope with these restrictions,  we respect this position and are dedicated to keeping Albury moving.”
 
“We’re committed to operating in a safe and efficient manner on behalf of all of our staff, customers and the wider community and will continue to provide our essential courier services during this unprecedented time,” says Luke.
