Tips to get the most out of
your courier
service
Controlling
Extra Charges
Our policy is to keep our clients in
control of their deliveries at all times and that includes
keeping them abreast of any extra charges incurred on the
delivery.
For instance if there is a delay in pick up
or delivering of an order a driver will notify
dispatch immediately and inform them of the circumstances. At
this point the dispatcher or one of the CSR's will contact the
client and inform them of the situation. This allows our
client to get involved if they choose and to possibly speed up
the process minimizing any possible extra charges if incurred.
The driver will wait the first 10 mins without any charges but
after the 10 mins has passed the clock starts from the time
the driver arrived.
Other potential charges that could be added
to a delivery include weight, vehicle and wrong address. While
there are other possible charges these are the most
common and all are handled the same way with a call to the
client making sure they are aware, avoiding any surprises in
their
invoices.

Direct
Drive Deliveries from Disher
Courier
 Disher Courier has long been known
for being able to provide our customer base with the
specialized services that they require. We have been
serving the GTA for many years now and we pride
ourselves on offering an extensive array of different
delivery options on our service lists; allowing our
customers to always have a delivery option available
that is perfect for their shipping needs.
Our Direct Drive Deliveries
service is growing in popularity due to the fact that
this service is focused almost solely on each specific
customer that orders it. The amount of time that Disher
can limit to these deliveries is obviously dependent
upon the distance that you require your delivery to be
sent. We urge our customers to realize that the GTA is
quite large and going from suburb to suburb can take a
great deal of time. Because of this, the direct drive
services are now offered in increments of completion at
60, 75, or 90 minutes.
Customers need to
be made aware that those quoted times are from the time
that Disher receives their call. However, we realize
that the time between when the call is placed and when
the courier arrives for pickup is just as important as
the amount of time that the package is actually in
transit. If for some reason that direct drive
service isn't going to be fast enough or if you're
looking for a top speed delivery, don't forget about the
Disher Courier's Screamer Service, the only option that
is faster than our direct drive offerings.
We Deliver Peace of Mind! Call us at
1-800-463-1035 to schedule your courier service
today.
Broker/Employee of the
Month
Originally from Trinidad, Kamal has been in
Canada for 23 years and now resides in the Upper
Beaches area of Toronto. As a proud father of three
Kamal is used to running all over the
city.
There
are a few things that makes Kamal great at
what he does and why he is one of the best. Kamal's
in depth knowledge of the city is rivaled by
few, his awareness of his surroundings (traffic),
imagination in his routes (he's an artist), his ability
to put his clients first and understanding that doing a
great job is keeping your clients happy and the pride
that he takes in his work.
There is
a comforting feeling knowing that Kamal is on the job.
Kamal has more than earned his stripes in the past four
and a half years with Disher Courier. For this, we would
like to thank him and congratulate him for being
"Broker of the Month" for
August.

Teachers Teaching
Parents
 Most parents aren't trained or
educated in child education the way that their
children's teachers are. However, gaining a little of
the information that teachers have available to share
can certainly help make the parents and teachers a
cohesive team that is more dedicated to providing
children with the best education possible.
Teachers want parents to know that they
are allies, not enemies. Many times when a child
complains about a teacher, parents go on the attack
mode. However, simply communicating with that teacher
might reveal much more about the situation. Effective
communication with teachers is one of the most valuable
steps that parents can take in being involved in their
child's education. Of course, this means going beyond
those obligatory parent - teacher interviews.
Teachers want parents to know that
learning keeps happening after school lets out, but also
to understand that this isn't about pressuring the
child. Teachers are hoping to keep kids active in
learning after hours, but also want to allow the
children the leeway to make mistakes without making them
feel bad about it. Showing your child that you want them
to be working is helpful, but encouraging them when they
do well is even more effective.
Finally,
don't be afraid to give your children's teachers some
encouragement. Teaching is hard work. They are trying to
provide the best for your children, yet they are rarely
rewarded for their efforts. Letting the principal know
if your teacher is doing a great job is a good way of
thanking them for all their hard work.

Six Toronto Events
 Sometimes there is no better way to
enjoy the time you're spending in a city than to take in
some of the local events, festivals, or conferences that
the city plays host to. These events are often given a
great deal of attention by the city as well as the
sponsors and producers in order to make sure that they
are as enjoyable as possible. Here are six suggestions
for events in Toronto that you should definitely check
out if you are interested in any of their subject areas:
Festival of Care Giving Annual
Conference: This is a symposium focusing on the needs of
caring for the disabled, and is a must attend if you
work in the care giving industry, or if you have people
with special needs within your family. It takes place
the first weekend of June annually.
National Women's Show: November at
the Toronto Convention Center you can enjoy shopping,
dining, massage, entertainment and more.
Wedgwood Exhibit - A great exhibit
that takes place every year at the ROM in June. The
Royal Ontario Museum is one of the premiere attractions
in the city, and this exhibit is one of its
best.
Royal Agricultural Winter Fair: This
November event features, among other events, an
Equestrian fair that is fun for the whole family.
Diamond Show - Another ROM
exhibit, this one takes place in March and will allow
you to witness some of the world's most spectacular
diamonds.
Porcelain Show - Anyone who has
ever appreciated or collected fine porcelain will love
this show, which takes place in December at the Toronto
Convention Center.
