Growing up in a split family, there were always excuses on why I couldn’t do things. I learned very quickly that the limited money we had was primarily for the roof over our heads. There were times I would be left alone to cook my own creations while my mom had to be elsewhere.
As this continued, I still watched our friends join teams, showing off their new Puma Cleats or the latest baseball glove they could afford. Groups like Scouting or Cadets became the only activities I could afford to attend, for which I will be forever grateful.
It was a different time back then, but the root of the problem is still present today and has become magnified.
What a single parent could afford then, now often takes two incomes to manage. Sometimes, even that isn’t enough.
Many parents work throughout the day so they can be home with their kids after school. In some dual-income households, one family member may still have to limit their time with the family to meet financial obligations. Many single parents don’t even have that luxury.
When a large-ticket purchase is made, whether out of need or want, there is always more to consider than just the sticker price—taxes, delivery fees, and lost wages for taking time off to receive it.
Taking a day off for family events or school closures adds to this financial struggle but remains necessary. Furthermore, taking a day off to await a delivery can create additional financial strain, forcing families to make tough decisions about time and activities.
At Mikus Transport, we understand these challenges.
- We provide a reliable delivery service in Nanaimo so you don’t have to take a day off work, miss that school event, or skip a soccer game.
- Our Nanaimo courier service ensures you don’t have to swap shifts just to accommodate a delivery.
- We aim to prevent households from being pushed into situations that require pulling a child out of a youth activity or group.
This is why we developed a business model that gives our customers options, including not having to take a day off work to wait for that delivery.
