Couriers

Couriers deliver time-sensitive packages from one place to another, typically within the same or closely neighboring cities or areas. Couriers pick up the delivery item personally from the sender and proceed directly to the recipient to drop it off, serving one client at a time.
Messengers
-
Messengers are similar to couriers except that they specifically deliver documents and letters. Because of the nature of what they deliver, messengers must often sign confidentiality agreements with their employers, swearing that they will not divulge information about the documents and letters they handle.
