Courier Service FAQ — Cargo704 LLC Charlotte NC

Question 1

What is a courier service?

Accepted Answer

A courier service is a company that picks up and delivers packages, documents, and freight directly from sender to recipient — typically faster and with more care than standard postal or parcel carriers. Cargo704 LLC provides professional courier service throughout Charlotte, NC and the surrounding metro area.

Question 2

How is a courier different from a parcel carrier like UPS or FedEx?

Accepted Answer

A courier provides dedicated, direct-route delivery — your shipment goes straight from pickup to destination without sorting hubs, shared trucks, or multi-day transit windows. Parcel carriers consolidate thousands of packages through distribution centers. When timing is critical, a courier is the right choice.

Question 3

When should I use a courier instead of shipping by mail?

Accepted Answer

Use a courier when your shipment is time-sensitive, high-value, fragile, or requires chain-of-custody documentation. Common scenarios include same-day legal filings, medical specimens, AOG aircraft parts, urgent business documents, and any delivery where a missed window has real consequences.

Question 4

What can Cargo704 deliver?

Accepted Answer

Cargo704 delivers packages, envelopes, documents, medical specimens, legal files, auto parts, industrial components, AOG aircraft parts, air cargo, freight, dry ice shipments, and more. We do not transport household furniture or moving loads.
