How Much Do Courier Services Typically Cost?
The cost of courier service depends on factors such as distance, time, size, weight and speed. This flexible pricing model offers cost advantages over standard delivery prices.
Where standard delivery providers set firm costs for all deliveries, we use a flexible pricing model for our courier services. You'll find opportunities to save by choosing a lower-cost delivery option when possible. For instance, our flexible pricing model allows us to charge less for large deliveries, while a standard provider would charge you their normal flat rate.
