Do You Charge Extra for Courier Coordination?
Yes. For expedited courier shipments, Lake Mead Mobile Notary charges a $15 coordination fee in addition to the carrier’s own rate.
This fee covers the time and handling needed to prepare apostilled documents for shipment, generate or apply labels, arrange pickup or drop‑off, and monitor tracking so your envelope moves correctly from Las Vegas to its final destination.
What the $15 Courier Coordination Fee Covers
The coordination fee applies when you choose upgraded courier services such as overnight, 2‑day, or international delivery for your apostilled documents. It is not a markup on postage; it is a separate service charge for managing the logistics on your behalf.
- Preparing the packet: Packaging your apostille securely and labeling the envelope with the correct recipient details.
- Creating or applying labels: Using a label Lake Mead Mobile Notary generates or a prepaid label you provide.
- Arranging pickup or drop‑off: Coordinating with the carrier so the shipment enters the network on time.
- Sharing tracking updates: Providing the tracking number and basic delivery expectations to you or your designated contact.
When the Coordination Fee Applies
The $15 coordination fee is charged per courier shipment when Lake Mead Mobile Notary actively manages an expedited or specialized delivery, such as next‑day or international courier service. Standard, non‑rush shipping paths may not require this fee, and you can always ask to see exactly which shipments include coordination on your quote.
Using Your Own Courier Account or Label
If you prefer to use your own FedEx, UPS, DHL, or similar account, you can supply a prepaid label and still request coordination. In that case, the carrier charges you directly, and the $15 fee only covers the handling and logistics work.
- You provide the label: Lake Mead Mobile Notary applies it, prepares the packet, and arranges the handoff to the carrier.
- Carrier bills you: Shipping charges go to your account, not added to your apostille invoice.
- Coordination still included: The $15 fee covers packaging, label handling, and basic tracking support.
Seeing Courier Coordination on Your Quote
Courier coordination appears as its own line item so you can distinguish between professional handling and the carrier’s base rate. You will see:
- The carrier and service level: For example, overnight, 2‑day, or international express.
- Estimated carrier cost: Based on destination, weight, and speed.
- Courier coordination fee: A flat $15 per managed shipment.
This breakdown makes it easy to compare standard shipping against expedited courier options and decide whether the extra speed and coordination are worth the added cost for your situation.
