When Courier Service Is the Right Choice
Courier makes sense for specific situations:
- Documents Requiring Originals: Contracts, legal papers, passports, notarized documents that must be physical - not digital
- Valuable Small Items: Jewelry, watches, samples, prototypes where value-to-size ratio is high and personal handling matters
- Medical Specimens: Laboratory samples, blood products, biological materials requiring chain of custody and sometimes temperature control
- Urgent Small Parts: A €10 component that's holding up a €100,000 machine - courier makes economic sense
- Signature-Required Legal Delivery: Court documents, formal notices, certified mail requiring proof of personal delivery
General rule: items under 30kg where speed, security, or proof of delivery matters more than pure transport cost.
