Courier Service

Answer: Courier service is a private postal service which collects letters, documents and parcels and delivers them quickly to the addressee, usually door-to-door, for a charge.

Courier companies give fast and reliable delivery, often within 24 hours in cities, and also offer international delivery. They give a receipt and tracking number and take responsibility for safe delivery. Businesses use courier service for urgent documents, samples and small parcels. Examples include private courier firms and the Speed Post service of India Post, which works on similar lines.
