Read More About Our Tracking Services
Courier service in NYC is more expensive than national parcel shipping (FedEx, UPS, USPS) but solves a different problem — speed and direct routing. Most B2B deliveries land between $100 and $400. Short Manhattan runs hit the minimum charge ($100–$200). Tri-state routes to NJ, Long Island, or CT run $150–$400. Freight or palletized loads run higher — $200–$800 — because of vehicle size and labor.
Xentra Transport prices flat at $3 per mile, $125 minimum. The number you're quoted is the number on your invoice. See our 2026 pricing guide and complete courier cost breakdown. For comparison context, see DHL vs. FedEx pricing and cheapest shipping agent.
A national parcel carrier (FedEx, UPS, USPS) consolidates your package with thousands of others, runs it through sort hubs, and delivers in 1–5 days at $10–$50 per package. A same-day courier dedicates a driver to your shipment, runs door-to-door, and delivers in hours at $125–$300 per shipment. The price reflects the operational difference: one driver, one vehicle, no consolidation. See courier vs. gig apps and courier vs. messenger service.
When the math works in courier's favor: high-value shipments where damage cost > savings; time-critical work where late = lost; specialized verticals like medical or legal where regular shipping isn't even an option. See cost of missed deadlines for the math on when courier service pays for itself.
