At no additional charge, we will call or email you with a confirmation of delivery, including the exact time and name of the recipient.

Wait Time

10 minutes and under is included in the base rate.
Wait of over 10 minute is charged at $25/hour, rounded to the nearest minute.

Round-Trip Service

Return trips are discounted by 15%.

Package Size

The above rates are for deliveries of standardsized (letter/A4) documents with less than 300 pages, or about 9"x14"x2". We offer rush service for packages as big as a copy box (21"x17"x10"), for an additional charge.

Larger deliveries are priced by how many USPS-standard Priority Mail boxes they would fill. The two standard USPS Priority Mail box dimensions are as follows:

Box One: 11-7/8 x 3-3/8 x 13-5/8 inches
Box Two: 11 x 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches

Delivery rates are increased 10% per box-size added. Deliveries with a total size above 21"x17"x10" are priced on a case-by-case basis.

Overtime

Our service hours are based upon general "open" hours of courts and banks. We stay in service from 8:30am through 5:30pm on these days.

With prior arrangement, we can take deliveries during the hour outside this window, at an additional rate of 30%.

How we bill

We offer a flexible billing system based on either a 2-week or one-month cycle. We can either hand-deliver, mail, or email invoices, complete with a summary of charges and a detailed recount of each delivery.

By default, we will mail invoices. Hand delivery and emailed PDF and spreadsheet invoices are available upon request.

We pride ourselves in our verbose record-keeping. If you have a question about a specific job, please do not hesitate to ask one of us, call our dispatch line, or email our contact address. We will be happy to give you a run-down of what happened on a specific delivery run.

Payment can be made to Rock Dove Couriers LLC.
