Shipping services have developed so much over the years. We first had to put parcels in a bag and carry them on our backs to the post office. It was challenging and time-consuming, and most people chose not to send packages. Now, you can have your goods shipped almost anywhere in the world just with a click of a button! Shipping has evolved to be faster, simpler, and more cost-effective than ever.
When goods were being shipped centuries ago, it was common to see them carried on horseback or foot. Colonies in the Americas had their goods shipped to them during their early years. The goods had to be carried through the wilderness and over mountains, making it a complicated process to follow. This is still how shipments are sent in some parts of Asia. As time passed, wagons were used more frequently for shipping because they were faster than people who would spend days carrying packages over the land. However, even this needed to be more closed for everyone, so caravans and trains were brought into use.
Before long, trains were used for larger shipments. These eventually replaced horses and caravans completely as the method of choice for shipping goods. Trains could also make multiple stops along their route, which allowed various stops to be made along the way. When the steam engine was invented, shipping took off on a large scale. Steam engines were far more efficient than any other technology available at this time. These new steam engines allowed ships to carry massive cargo over longer distances.

The invention of the internal combustion engine made trucks more common than railroads, even though they were slower. However, this lasted only a short time as they were eventually replaced by cars and trucks. Finally, airplanes took to the skies and began delivering goods over more considerable distances than ever. The shipping industry has truly evolved over the years to make the transportation of goods faster and more effective than ever imagined.
