Beware - The Taxman Cometh
Can you believe the end of March is almost here?
It seems like only yesterday we were coated in the snowy blanket of February; now... okay we're still coated in a snowy blanket but the year is progressing at a rapid pace.
The end-of-month rush has certainly caught up with us and many of us were snagged off guard, especially with tax filing day looming. Yes, that one day during the year that sends everyone scurrying to find receipts and count their donations is almost here.
It's during this time of year that accountants are known to bring their pajamas to work, anticipating a company-wide sleepover as they work into the wee hours filing tax returns for their clients. Trying to have some sort of semblance of life, let alone finding time to even meet with customers, is thrown completely out the window; and yet this is the time when that conversation is vital, especially when documents need to be signed and payments sent and received.
The most effective way to handle these important documents, of course, is in person; but with time at a premium, it isn't practical for yourself or another office dweller to make the connection.
Instead, count on Sierra Courier's delivery experts. We can run your documents securely across Winnipeg in as little as less than an hour depending on the courier service you choose.

Stay Off the Roads - Let Sierra Deliver For You!
Winnipeg awoke this past weekend to a delightful scene - snow melting!
At long last, and we cross our fingers firmly as we say this, we're getting out of the white blanket that has been a very cold, very snow-filled winter. Look across the city and you're seeing pet owners happily walking their dogs rather than cussing, homeowners happily shoveling sludge off their driveways and little (okay very little) patches of green starting to appear on lawns.
Unfortunately what this means for Winnipeg is that the driving around our fair city has become a little more treacherous. If you park outside overnight, you know how bad the ice can rut up before the crack of dawn and how poor it is on the roads as the day wears on.
At Sierra Courier, we're concerned about the safety of our customers. That's why we're more than happy to hit the roads for you for your delivery needs. Our expert drivers will manage the roads so you don't have to and ensure that your package is delivered with efficiency in mind.

RRSP Deadline Approaches - Make Sure You're Set with Sierra!
Welcome to financial season!
Between now and the end of April, accountants and financial advisors are getting ready for hibernation, only emerging from the piles of documents to get the occasional cup of coffee and maybe a catnap (though some have been known to sleep in their offices. That's why they have couches, afterall).
For Winnipeggers, this means getting signed documents prepped, and in these busy times for both yourself and your advisor, this means face-to-face meetings are next to impossible.
In this scenario, signing said papers will need to be done remotely, and with time drawing close to deadline (March 3), you'll need to expedite your signings.
Here's where Sierra Courier comes in. We have great same-day service with one, two and three hour delivery options available, including getting through the busy Winnipeg downtown centre!
So don't take chances with these all important tax saving opportunities - let Sierra's trusted team help you today!
Sierra Courier on Saturdays
There's a common thread among businesses in Winnipeg - Friday afternoons are reserved for shutdown activities.
Those last waning hours before the weekend are among the toughest for job focus, with a thought that goes toward remaining tasks can wait until Monday to be completed.
Not all tasks, however, fall into this category. Some require that last-minute attentiveness, namely those shipments that need to get out so they can be arriving for Monday's rush of business.
When these situations arise, Sierra Courier is here for you, with our Air Saturday Services.
You read that right - the first day of the weekend is still an operating day at the office for us.
Our service on Saturdays includes pick-up and drop-off to most and Canadian, American centres, and some international destinations as well.
What does that mean to you?
Consider, for a moment, that you're headed out to Calgary Friday morning for a trade show the following Monday but forget to bring one of your stand-up banners.
Not to fret. Using our Next Day Canada service, your staff can prep and package the banner, with delivery coming to you Saturday.
It's that simple.
So when you're in a pinch, rely on Winnipeg's most trusted courier service.
