courier services
Express parcel delivery
Courier services are businesses that deliver packages, documents, and other items, typically with faster turnaround than standard postal mail.
The term emphasizes speed, tracking, and often door-to-door delivery: We sent the contract via courier services to ensure it arrived by morning.
Major courier services include FedEx, UPS, and DHL.
