The motivation behind Campus Courier

Campus Courier is student-first in its approach. They observed and outlined the following as the pain points students face most during their time on campus:

• Limited Access
  Many students, especially those residing on campus, face limited access to essential items like groceries, pharmaceuticals, and fast food. This can be particularly challenging during hectic academic schedules or in cases of emergencies.
  
• Inefficiency
  Traditional courier services are often inefficient and time-consuming for students. They don’t cater specifically to the unique needs and schedules of the student community.
  
• Lack of Emergency Services
  There was a noticeable absence of reliable and convenient emergency service providers to cater to special needs, such as urgent medication or essential documents.
  

Services students look for most

Campus Courier offers a suite of services for students on and off campus which include the following:

• FastFoods(all-outlets)
• Groceries
• Toiletries
• Medication
• Parcels

• Taxi & transport services

Of these, Campus Courier mentions that it has 4 services that are highly requested from that list and these include: Food Delivery, Pharmaceutical deliveries, Parcel collection, and Taxi & transport services.
