With a 99.9% courier you stand to lose $0 and with a 99.0% courier you could lose up to $15,600.

Can you afford to take that risk? On the surface, the difference between 99% and 99.9% may seem negligible, but a failure rate of 1% and 0.1% could mean 10 times the possibility of something going wrong. What does this mean for you based on your opportunity and direct costs?
