What does a courier service do?
A courier service handles the fast, reliable pickup and delivery of packages, documents, and parcels — often on the same day or next business day. Unlike standard mail, couriers prioritize speed and tracking. At ShipMate+, we dispatch shipments through FedEx, UPS, and USPS daily, managing everything from packaging and labeling to documentation and carrier selection on your behalf.
How much does a courier service charge?
Same-day courier rates depend on package weight, dimensions, destination distance, and chosen service level. FedEx Priority Overnight, UPS Next Day Air, and USPS Priority Mail Express all carry different price points. At ShipMate+, our specialists compare real-time rates across all three carriers to find the most cost-effective option that still meets your same-day or next-morning delivery deadline.
Can I drop off a package for same-day dispatch at ShipMate+?
Yes. ShipMate+ accepts drop-offs for FedEx, UPS, and USPS during business hours (Monday–Friday 9 AM–6 PM, Saturday 9 AM–1 PM). FedEx and UPS are picked up daily at 4:30 PM on weekdays and 12:00 PM on Saturdays. USPS is picked up at 11:00 AM Monday through Saturday, ensuring same-business-day entry into the carrier network.
What types of items can be shipped using same-day courier services?
Same-day courier services handle a wide range of items including urgent business documents, contracts, legal filings, medical supplies, product samples, e-commerce orders, electronics, and auto parts. Our professional packing team can properly box and protect fragile or high-value items, and we advise on the right carrier and service level to match your item's size, sensitivity, and delivery deadline.
Do you offer same-day courier services for businesses in Rochester, NY?
ShipMate+ provides same-day courier dispatch solutions for Rochester-area businesses, including law firms, medical offices, e-commerce sellers, and corporate teams. We streamline multi-carrier shipping under one roof, eliminating the need to manage separate FedEx, UPS, and USPS accounts or make multiple trips to different carrier facilities — saving your team time and reducing logistics overhead.
How do I track my same-day shipment after it's picked up?
Once your shipment is dispatched, it receives a carrier tracking number that lets you monitor delivery status in real time through FedEx, UPS, or USPS tracking portals. For added assurance, USPS Signature Confirmation and FedEx/UPS delivery notifications provide proof of delivery updates — giving you and your recipient full visibility from dispatch through final delivery.
Can ShipMate+ pack my item if it's not ready to ship?
Absolutely. Our in-store packing team handles everything from selecting the right box size to applying protective materials such as bubble wrap and packing peanuts. All items packed in-store carry a guarantee of insurability. We stock over 20 corrugated box sizes, specialty packaging for fragile electronics and artwork, and heavy-duty tape — so your item leaves properly protected and carrier-compliant.
Is same-day international courier service available?
Yes. ShipMate+ offers international express shipping to over 200 countries through FedEx International Priority, UPS Worldwide Express, and USPS Priority Mail Express International. Our specialists manage all customs documentation — including Commercial Invoices and Electronic Export Information forms — to minimize clearance delays and ensure your international shipment departs on the same business day.
