Courier or Messenger Service - Industry Research Reports (4,306 companies)

Industries in the Courier or Messenger Services category provide intercity and/or local delivery of parcels and documents (including express delivery services) without operating under a universal service obligation. These articles can be described as those that may be handled by one person without using special equipment. This allows the collection, pick-up, and delivery operations to be done with limited labor costs and minimal equipment. Sorting and transportation activities, where necessary, are generally mechanized. The restriction to small parcels partly distinguishes these companies from those in the transportation industries. The complete network of courier services companies also distinguishes these transportation services from local messenger and delivery establishments in this category. This includes the companies that perform intercity transportation as well as companies that, under contract to them, perform local pick-up and delivery. Messengers, which usually deliver within a metropolitan or single urban area, may use bicycle, foot, small truck, or van.
