One major challenge you could face is delivering the products without damage, imagine while delivering the cake the rider damages it, the customer would not be willing to take it.

One major challenge with this kind of business is the liability you can incur with an insincere rider. Imagine you give a rider an expensive gadget to deliver and he decides to dump your bike and run away with the gadget.

I totally agree with you, the risk of product damage/loss during the shipping process will always be there and will be a challenge for shipping agents. If this happens, he must find the best solution so that customers don't feel disappointed.

One of the challenges of this business is the ability to deliver when demand is very high. You have to understand that as you grow, you would have increased demand and it is not nice for customers to experience long waiting times to have their products delivered.

Another is the loss that comes with this business liability Using a dishonest dispatch rider.for the business will make you incur losses as the rider might run away with people's parcels.

It is what it is as it regards to the dispatch agencies and the risk and damages that they do endure and pay for it even when it is something that is a natural course.

A unique challenge derives from the need to ensure that your clients receive the exact products that you have shipped. Some of your delivery staff may choose to either substitute client packages or open the same and reduce the amount of products, thus disadvantaging you and the clients.

This business is a very risky business and you have to make sure that you put all necessary checks before hiring a rider to your dispatch agency. Let them bring reputable guarantors before they are employed.

You have to make sure that the person whom you employed to be your dispatch rider is someone that is reasonable and responsible because that is the only way he will not be delaying your customers delivery so that it doesn't affect your business.

And delays is one of the things that give this kind of business negative reviews. You just have to make sure you service your bikes so that they don't get spoilt while on duty.

One of the challenges is to hire trustworthy and reliable riders. They have to deliver the product promptly and in good condition to your customers. You also need to consider the possibility of accidents during the delivery process and your liability.

That is why a business like this surely needs an insurance policy to cover it. In particular, it needs auto insurance to cover it in case of accidents. But try to get level headed riders.

One challenge with this kind of business now is the fact that fuel has become very expensive which makes the business costly to run.
