What is the definition of a courier?

A courier is a person or company that transports individual parcels, packages and documents from one address to another, usually door-to-door and fast. Unlike standard mail, a courier service collects directly from the sender and delivers to a specific recipient, with tracking and proof of delivery. UrgentGo is a courier service operating across Durban and all of South Africa.

How much does a private courier cost?

A private courier in South Africa typically costs from about R79 for economy nationwide delivery and from R89 for same-day metro delivery. In Durban, overnight delivery starts from R95 and same-day express from R150, depending on parcel size, weight and distance. UrgentGo gives you a fixed instant quote before you book, with no hidden fees.

How much is a courier per kg?

Courier pricing per kilogram in South Africa ranges from roughly R12 to R40 per kg depending on the service and distance: about R20 to R40 per kg for local same-day, R15 to R25 per kg for overnight inter-city, and R12 to R20 per kg for nationwide standard delivery. A minimum charge of about R79 to R89 usually applies, so light parcels are billed at the minimum.
