couriers
Swift delivery people
Couriers are people or companies that transport packages, documents, or messages.
The term emphasizes speed and direct delivery—courier services promise faster handling than standard mail: We sent the contracts by courier.
A courier carries items personally rather than routing them through a postal system.
The verb courier means to send something this way: I'll courier the documents to you this afternoon.
