What Can a Courier Deliver? Las Vegas Item Types (2026): Documents, Small Packages, Bulk/Freight Options

A paralegal in Downtown Las Vegas needs to get a signed, notarized contract to a client in Summerlin by 5:00 PM. A trade show exhibitor at the Las Vegas Convention Center discovers that 50 pounds of custom brochures are still at a printer in Spring Valley. A business traveler at Harry Reid International Airport realizes their passport is locked in a hotel safe on the Strip. A warehouse in Enterprise needs to ship a large piece of equipment to Henderson by end of day.

These are all courier jobs, but they involve very different types of items—each with its own requirements for handling, packaging, and transport. Understanding what can (and cannot) be delivered by courier, and how item type affects cost and service options, helps you choose the right solution for your specific needs.

The Three Main Item Categories

What We Can (and Cannot) Transport

Documents: The Most Common Courier Item

Documents are the bread and butter of courier services. They're typically lightweight, easy to handle, and often time-sensitive. Lake Mead Mobile Notary delivers thousands of documents annually—from passports to contracts to court filings.

Types of Documents We Deliver

• Legal documents: Court filings, discovery materials, contracts, affidavits, powers of attorney
• Financial documents: Checks, loan papers, mortgage documents, closing statements
• Medical records: Patient charts, imaging results, insurance forms, HIPAA-sensitive materials
• Business documents: Proposals, presentations, corporate minutes, NDAs
• Personal documents: Passports, birth certificates, wills, estate papers

Small Packages: Parts, Samples, and More

Small packages cover a wide range of items—from auto parts to electronics to medical specimens. Our standard SUV can accommodate items up to 75 lbs per piece, with total cargo capacity of 73.4 cubic feet.

Common Small Package Deliveries

• Automotive parts: Alternators, starters, brake calipers, sensors, and other repair parts
• Medical specimens: Blood samples, urine specimens, tissue samples (ambient temperature only)
• Electronics: Laptops, tablets, printers, small equipment
• Product samples: Promotional items, trade show giveaways, sales samples
• Business supplies: Office materials, marketing collateral, printed materials

Bulk / Freight: When One Trip Isn't Enough

Sometimes you need to move more than a single SUV can hold. Multiple boxes, palletized items, and large equipment require freight solutions. While our standard service covers documents and small packages, we can also arrange bulk/freight transport for larger shipments.

Common Bulk / Freight Needs

• Trade show exhibits: Multiple boxes, display materials, booth components
• Warehouse transfers: Inventory transfers between locations
• Multi-box shipments: 5-10+ boxes going to the same destination
• Large equipment: Items too large for standard SUV (requiring truck transport)

Freight Reality Check: What to Expect

When shipping bulk items or freight, keep these factors in mind:

• Vehicle capacity: Our standard SUVs have 73.4 cubic feet cargo space. Larger shipments may require freight carriers.
• Loading/unloading: For heavy items, ensure loading assistance is available at both ends.
• Timing: Freight moves slower than package courier service. Plan accordingly.
• Cost: Freight is priced by volume and weight, not by zone. Get a quote before booking.

Packaging Checklist: How to Prepare Your Items

Proper packaging ensures your items arrive safely. Follow these guidelines based on what you're sending:

For Documents

• Use a waterproof document envelope or folder
• For multiple documents, use a manila envelope or small box
• Label clearly with recipient name, address, and contact phone
• Consider using "DO NOT BEND" labels for important papers

For Small Packages

• Use a sturdy box with appropriate padding (bubble wrap, packing peanuts)
• Seal all seams with packing tape
• Label on top and at least one side
• For fragile items, mark "FRAGILE" clearly
• For electronics, use anti-static packaging if available
• Remove batteries or secure them properly

For Medical Specimens

• Use approved biohazard bags and containers
• Triple-pack specimens: primary container, absorbent material, outer shipping container
• Label with biohazard symbols as required
• Include all necessary paperwork and chain of custody forms
• Note: We provide ambient temperature transport only

For Bulk / Freight

• Palletize items when possible for easier handling
• Shrink-wrap pallets to secure contents
• Label each box clearly with destination and contents
• Provide loading dock or ground-level access information
• Confirm weight and dimensions before scheduling
