How much you pay for a courier in NYC depends on three variables: distance, service tier, and how the courier structures surcharges. For most B2B same-day deliveries, expect $125 to $250 per shipment on routes under 30 miles. Local Manhattan-to-Brooklyn runs typically land at the minimum charge ($100–$200). Tri-state runs to New Jersey, Long Island, or Connecticut run $150–$400 depending on mileage and dropoff location.
Xentra Transport prices flat at $3 per mile, $125 minimum — no fuel surcharge, no after-hours fee, no weekend fee. Most NYC couriers advertise lower base rates ($89, $99) but stack 5–7 surcharges on top, so the all-in invoice is higher. See our 2026 pricing guide, NYC pricing breakdown, and courier cost in 2026.
Same-day courier: $125–$300 for most NYC routes. On-demand courier: same as same-day at Xentra (no rush surcharge); other couriers add 20–50% for sub-1-hour dispatch. Rush courier: same flat rate at Xentra; competitors charge 30–60% premium. Medical courier: per-stop on recurring routes (cheapest), per-trip for STAT calls. Legal courier: standard mileage rate, with optional clerk-window filing service. Freight and pallet delivery: priced by weight + mileage, typically $200–$800.
Surcharges to watch for: fuel surcharge (5–15%), after-hours fee ($25–$75), weekend fee (10–25%), zone fee for outer boroughs, waiting time at $1–$2 per minute. By the time those stack, a "$89 courier" invoices at $180 for a Manhattan-to-Newark run — while Xentra invoices the same route at $125.
