Courier (from the French. courrier - runner and battens. cursus - spank) - a person or company hired to deliver messages, letters, other correspondence, as well as smaller items.

Currently, couriers are designed to have a single postal services under the following conditions: speed, security, delivery report, mark the award, specialty and personal service. Couriers may also perform the delivery of mail periodically, for example, daily e-mail. Courier services in most cases more expensive than regular mail service because of the conditions for the provision of courier services.

In large courier companies, all mail delivered by courier, usually divided into two parts: the actual mailbox (real mail ) - The newspapers, magazines, bills and other correspondence, which subscribed to the recipients and paid for delivery, and the so-called «kurerka», «business» - in different courier companies called in different ways, what the recipient does not ordered and that the money is sent to advertisers. The latter often perceived as recipients of unwanted mail (paper spam). Unfortunately, at present the proportion of paper in the total volume of spam mail delivered by courier, is growing. Companies with these spam fighting: protection does not allow couriers to walk on the floor and office buildings, secretaries and reception are separated from this spam mail.
