Find & Compare Courier Services in Your Area!

Courier services move time-sensitive items across town or across the region: same-day and rush deliveries, legal filings and signed documents, medical specimens and pharmacy orders, parts for a stalled job site, scheduled daily routes between offices, and oversized items that will not fit a parcel locker. Visitors use this page when a package has to arrive today, when a bank or court needs a physical signature, or when a business needs a regular pickup it can count on.

Couriers need no special license beyond a business registration in most states, though drivers crossing state lines in larger vehicles operate under federal motor carrier rules. Ask for proof of cargo and liability insurance and what the per-shipment coverage limit is, since standard coverage is often low. Ask about proof of delivery, real-time tracking, chain-of-custody handling for medical or legal items, and whether drivers are employees or contractors. Pricing is usually by distance and urgency, with surcharges for waiting time, weekends and heavy items. For pallet freight, freight brokers arrange carriers, and for whole rooms of furniture, movers are the right call.

The couriers on this page wrote their own listings, and each one was reviewed by a person before publication. If you run deliveries, apply to get listed — free, and quick to fill in.
