If you request photo inventory service from an Atlanta courier service, a great many of them will be happy to provide it. This isn't a service that many people require anymore, and so a lot of the time the courier companies might not even make a big deal about advertising it or making it known that it is something that they offer, but many will still provide it for you if you require it. However, that is not a universal rule, so you should always be sure to clarify if that service is available rather than assuming it will be.

Even though photo inventory won't usually be listed on marketing material or on advertisements anymore because companies are more worried about promoting more popular features such as GPS tracking or real time delivery notification, it will still usually be listed somewhere on their websites. Because a website doesn't have the space restraints of traditional marketing mediums companies usually make more of an effort to list a comprehensive list of all the different services that they offer, so in most cases if they do offer a photo inventory service it should be somewhere on that site. If not however, the only way to know for sure what they will offer you is if you call and speak to someone directly in the company. For a large client, even if it is not a service they usually offer they might be willing to make an exception.

One mistake that people make is often ruling out a courier company because they don't offer photo inventory without taking the time to really assess how actually important photo inventory is to their business. Many companies feel like this is an essential service for them, however, when they take the time to actually review other electronic inventory systems that they courier has in place they might realize that photo inventory isn't actually a necessity, and it might be worth it to consider going with a more affordable courier service even if they don't offer that as a service option.

Obviously there are times when photo inventory is going to be desirable. These are mostly cases where your customers (or you) might have questions about the cargo being shipped to you such as if there are going to be any special requirements because of its size, or to verify the honesty of the shipping company. In such cases, it makes sense to find photo inventory.
